I think they only look overpowered because the cars are so stable to drive with TC on, but judging from the beta it's definitely faster with no assists on, driving with medium TC made me a couple of tenths slower at least.

But you can abuse the crap out of kerbs with no assists so expect the usual twat online with full assists dive bombing and getting away with it due to tc and abs

Question is how much slower, especially against the AI?
I don't care if it is slower against other players, that only makes sense. But if someone needs assists to help against the AI, does it make them significantly slower? I'm not saying players should be able to keep up with ultimate AI with assists, but if I need some TC on with auto gears to play against hard mode CPU, should I be disadvantaged?

its unlikely as the kerbs are deadly on f1 2016. The car will bog down when you use traction control so for once no assists users will not be at a disadvantage

I really hope that this is true. In my opinion assists are looking incredible OP. 
As a beta tester, I can confirm that they aren't. Although they aren't going to be off the pace by that much.

Assists are OP again, on the beta they were not. Which is a big shame as the feedback given was positive and everyone was happy with them, as they were.

Yes I think the player should be disadvantaged at all times when using assists. Otherwise the forum would be full of people saying they can do xx time in career but online they are slower. You should reach a ceiling when using assists around expert level. After that you need to switch off assists to get faster. I play on hard with 0 assists on pad. Sure if I put loads of assists on at moment I could complete on legend. Doesnt seem right to me.
