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...

Im going to give my opinion on here. Every year there has and always will be the whole pad vs wheel debate.
with a controller you are very much limited at the level of control you have with the inputs compared to a wheel.
The handling model is likely a single model that should have been designed to support both devices.
However, the last time there was a mid game handling patch, if i remember correctly, it actually ended up doing more damage than good.
Tyre wear in general is a problem even for wheel users like myself because of the AI having perfect tyre temps.
There has been historically a wheel vs pad debate for every game they've released. However, the tyre degradation has always been the same wear rate with either a pad or a wheel. Pretty much.
In F125 the tyre wear on a pad is absolutely catastrophic in direct comparison to a wheel, in the region of +15 to +20% per stint! Yes per stint!
That is just not acceptable and has been poorly programmed and probably knowing them never even tested prior to release.
When they patched 24 with a handling update last year it ended up being the worst handling model ever, absolutely horrendous on a pad.
I'm hoping they can somehow make some adjustments to tyre wear on the pad without completely destroying the handling.
Add in the calamity they've created with the wet weather debacle and the game on a pad is currently unplayable with regards to having a good experience with career modes.
