Pad win easy this Competition u dont think so?let me know why or better proove it;) 
Was already obvious to everyone after the Beta.
In singleplayer modes it won't really make a big difference,  competitive league racing on the other hand is going to be a disaster this year.
As i've mentioned in other threads i feel kind of guilty for using the pad, it's just so easy to control and get the power down.

Yeah pad has so much of an advantage under traction. Unfortunate really, I use pad aswell. What I want is wheel to have a buff.

Omg.Every year someone starts pad vs wheel thread which never ends.Some guys like @Bcolt93 made special testing during the beta to see If pad and wheel are equal.First thing what he and most of us noticed that pad was way too quick in wet conditions.So @Dgrego made some changes and after that pad and wheel were pretty equal in wet and dry conditions.

The handlings is exactly the same as in the beta, maybe a small few tweeks. Maybe you are wrong, cause to find the limit of pad is very hard. I really struggle to take the car to it's limits on pad, especially thru high speed stuff you need to have the thumb of well idk. But literally u have to have the most still thumb

There's definitely a gap. 

Me and my friend were doing some testing and on Australia, where on 2016 we were pretty much dead even from start to finish, in 2017 his car just seems to be better. We both ran ferrari's and I actually questioned him at one point if he was using a merc or something. The only way I could maintain pace and get a lap at the same speed as him was to run out my gears longer. The problem that created though was it was impossible to make it to the end of the race on fuel like that.

I was able to beat his best lap time, but I would have run out of fuel with about 4 laps to go if I maintained that pace and that was without using fuel mix #3 lol.
