Petition to revert controller handling to before the 1.7 patch

So with the 1.7 patch Codies changed the controller handling. Here's the list of what they changed:
- The game now autocorrects if you overangle the car into the corner, making you understeer off
- Changed steering angles values, aka now you steer less making the gap to wheel even bigger
- On traction there's also some sort of steering assist that makes the car steer less if you lose the rear
I can't add a video to diplay it, because "the size is too high", but people at Codies look at any controller gameplay after this 1.7 patch and tell me if thats any good
Codemasters, revert the changes you guys made, the game is simply unplayable and unenjoyable

What massively concerns me is the 1.7 upgrade was supposed to improve the handling for controller players. Who actually tested it and passed it fit for purpose?
They have to do something soon, it's a complete disaster!

I assumed that this would have been fixed with 1.8, extremely poor that it’s been ignored.
I’ve been racing in a league, on controller, for over ten years and this is by far the worst feeling of any F1 game to date now. The only way to be the tiniest bit competitive is to have sensitivity way up and turn in hard, completely unrealistic and not enjoyable.
First time that I’ve felt like packing it in, great job.

Can someone from EA please give an update. Its been weeks since this was acknowledged and still no confirmation anything is getting done. You are completely alienating a dwindling fan base now
