esports drivers say the updated handling is a step back

I would really enjoy to hear REAL F1 racers true feedback (not sponsored) on the game.  In addition, what are their thoughts on esports? 

It's easier for a real F1 racer to jump into a simulator than someone with zero racing experience drive a real F1 car on a track at speeds up to 300 KPH.  So does EA want to listen to the real drivers for feedback for realism (simulation) vs an 'arcade game' in regards for this topic?

Yes, I understand both F1 drivers and esports competitors get paid real money.  However, esports doesn't have as big of an audience as real life sports and EA's decisions are based on revenue.  There's a well known motorsports saying, "What wins on Sunday, sells on Monday."
