Wheel users also have better control of the car and can catch a slide easier and we tend to have a weird over steer issue going into some turns that require a fairly quick left right movement like going into Ascari or through the quick chicane at australia

As a pad user, I feel that it needs more practice to unlock the full power of the pad. However, wheel users have more response and therefore can save tyre better than pad users. It's been difficult so far but I am getting used to the handling on the pad and even more that the kerbs are quite harsh on this game. In Australia, touching the kerbs on the exit and on the apex of some corners is dangerous and can unsettle the car. 

I am adjusting the driving style, but I can't somehow brake as in f1 2015 or plant the power comfortably. In f1 2015, I could plant the throttle at around 2-3 gear earliest if I am at hammer time mode. In this game, I fully throttle it at around 4th gear earliest, and depending on the corner. 

Example: IN f1 2016 at Silverstone, you cannot press the throttle immediately after becketts and the entrance to chapel curve, doing this will just lose the rear end. While in f1 2015, you could do this as long as you don't run wide. But there is a lot of grip, it just needs practice.

Are you really going to drop your wheel to play with a pad because it´s faster in a simcade game? :D

Judging by the number of other posts from people saying it's uncontrollable with a pad, I think it's just you.

Is it me or are we having this discussion every single year.

Same with the traction control.
They're an epidemic, we sanitise the community and they return in their droves, stronger than ever churning out crap we will never escape them :s
