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...

I'm a pad player and i have found a significant amount of lap time and better tyre wear by changing my controller config settings in the menu. Don't just use the default one.
Pad will NEVER be as fast as a wheel. I don't know why people cannot understand that. The is simply far more control over how many degrees you turn a physical wheel over the movement of a 1.5cm thumbstick! A wheelset's pedals travel significantly further than a gamepad trigger. It's impossible to have the same level of control. Adjust your settings and find something that works for you..... Or just go and buy a wheel!
I totally agree with your opinion about inputs when it comes to the wheel vs pad argument and agree that it should mean you get more for the money invested into buying a rig setup. On the flip side as a pad user and enjoy league racing the discrepancy between tyre wear is totally off when comparing the two so much so that at most tracks in forced into doing a 2 stop compared to a wheel user only having to stop once and stretching there stint out I'm talking between around 8% and 25% difference in tyre wear which is too much of a gap to make up in full race conditions.
I have tried all sorts of ffb and controller settings to counter the handicap but to no avail.. thankfully after around 3 months I've just about got the sweet spot for me handling wise in these settings but again tyre wear is my biggest problem.
