I hope he can help you with your problem, it is my personal experience because I have the same mistake.

In my Case

The error is caused by the router in my case. By that I do not mean the Fritzbox or similar but that of the Internet provider. According to the forum, the problem should have existed for a long time and there should also be no solution from the manufacturer.
Hopefully the Codemasters improved at the point because F1 2019 worked without problems with the current router.
