Does F1 22 support two racing wheels in split screen mode? (PS4)
Previous versions of F1 only supported one racing wheel at a time. The other player had to use a controller. Has this been fixed? If not, why not?

Kind of weird question...
We use it to race together with my friends and family.
It works great in Grand Turismo: Two players, split screen, each has their racing wheel.
It did not work on F1 2020. Apparently not in 2021 either. One player can use one racing wheel, the other has to use a controller: This is not competitive.
Have they fixed this?

I'm fairly confident this is 'by design' rather than something that is viewed as being needed to be 'fixed'. I get that you'd like this but I suspect that Codemasters judge the number of players with access to two compatible wheels that would really want this is very small. I would.
Private lobbies, LAN games and of course 2-player career modes are presumably the 2-player options judged of interest to far more people.
Our friends at Grand Tursimo support the dual wheel split screen mode, so I'm not sure what supports your confidence in Coadmaster's judgements.
From a developer perspective, it seems easier to define a proper class architecture to support multiple 🏈 wheels, than to write code to make exception and support only one.

@Ultrasonic_77We use 2 weeks in GT7 at least 4 times per week--begrudgingly--because F1 doesn't support it. We would rather play F1.
That GT7 supports it tells us that there is no fundamental platform limitation to implement it. My post tells us that: Codemasters - if you want me to fork out another $60 for F122, then I need this feature; else I'll keep running my older F1 version.
This is a Yes or No question: Does F1 22 Support 2 wheels or not?
