Wheel users will be fine. The pad user is in a bind. Full TC is kinda like MED TC last year. The present med TC is like having F1 2021 TC set to off. The pad user who uses TC needs a bit of help this year. The assist is weak this year.
In 2021 if Full TC was a value of 100, Med TC a value of 50 and TC off is 0.
In F1 22 Full TC has a value of about 65. Med TC has a value of about 25 and off is like a minus 25. Pad play has become more difficult whereas with a wheel its always easy.

I think you're talking about the low gear wheel spin issue? This affects wheel users too with all assists off.
As a general point, racing on a wheel is not 'easy'. Player skill is still a HUGE factor in how fast/slow someone is. And I say that as someone who races on a wheel but is not fast!
@Ultrasonic_77I play with wheel. The torque is pretty easy to control but there is a straight line issue with AI. On Baku with DRS and overtake button, the AI are impossible to overtake without a dive bomb move.

I was watching some of a PSGL race last night where the commentators were saying that basically nobody every goes below 4th gear with the game as it is currently due to the low gear torque/wheel spin issue. The likes of Lando Norris have been commenting for at least the last two years that the games are unrealistic in this regard too. The change that is coming is to try to make the game closer to real life in this regard.
Regarding your Baku example, are you talking about in My Team or another game mode?
Here's the main thread on this issue by the way:

Of course it depends on skill and experience. Playing the past games help. Practise makes perfect.
The assists in the past offered stronger values to newcomers. In F1 22 its harder for the newcomer. I dont use any form of TC competitively.
But when it comes to wheelspin, throttle application is very important. The gearing is too but I don't want to over complicate this.
The triggers have a very limited rage (approx 1cm) whereas with the foot pedals there is inches of range. Its much easier to hit the sweetspot.
A wheel user has centimetres to inches.
A pad user has milimetres to centimetres.
Same applies with the braking.
Same applies with the steering.
Basically put, using a wheel against a pad is cheating. Its too easy. Although its not legally cheating. Best description:
Pad user = Realistic Williams
Wheel user = Equal Ferrari/Red Bull.

For myself I find driving with a wheel and pedals easier because it mirrors what I do in a real car. Had I never driven a real car I think it would probably be the actual wheel vs using the joystick for steering where I'd find the biggest wheel advantage lay.
In practice fast pad players tend to be slower after switching to a wheel for a good while, essentially because they have to relearn how to drive in the game. I don't recall ever seeing a fast pad player posting to say they got a wheel and suddenly found they'd immediately found it much faster / eSports pace...
What matters is that everyone enjoys playing no matter what equipment they use though 🙂.

Also myself, wheel users have linearty settings, saturation etc . Why cant they use them? In my opinion this is a ego complex issue in regards to beating the 110 AI.
Its not an ingame issue its more like a psychological issue.
