So because it's a PS3 controller (on PC) and because it doesn't have separate trigger vibration like the more modern controllers, the feedback was being transmitted by the main rumble motor - same as the tyre feedback. Impossible to differentiate the two sets of feedback and worse still, me not knowing that there was another line of feedback for the throttle, thinking it was all related to the tyres. I should really reinstall F1 2021 and check it out, see how a race goes without it enabled.
Edit: Just tried F1 2021 with trigger vibration disabled for the first time and oh my god it's fantastic haha! I could push the car through the corners, felt like a completely different game to the one I had trouble with for the past year. Think I'll get a career started on that for now while waiting for some more fixes for 22.
@s00zsterOne thing to remind for everyone who uses Xbox pads, although not entirely sure if it's actually the case or a unique issue on my side, but the trigger rumbling in Xbox Series X pad is a hell lot weaker than the old Xbox One pad.
I was absolutely shock when I first bought the Series X pad and tried it on F1 2021, the feedbacks were so weak....almost non-existence in comparison with my old pad...apparently I heard it was noise complaints so they tuned it down.
