Ever since the beginning of the game, I, along with other pad players, have noticed that wheel players have a significant advantage. Initially, I observed a clear advantage in slow corners, where, d...

It's simply not right, in all F1s the wear was the same and on F1 25 it wasn't, this thing doesn't make sense
The underlying system is still the same, just due to higher wear rates any little imperfection is magnified and registers as more "damage" against the tyre. Since pad is inherently a less precise control system it's going to be more noticeable for pad players.
