I went from a joystick to the MSFF wheel and noticed my lap times droppped
also, not in GPL (had the wheel already when I got it) but in VR and
others. What I think is the case is that you tend to turn in earlier and
more gradually with a wheel than a joystick, causing yourself to hit the
apex too early, which would account for the need to slow as you exit the
corner. You can compensate by waiting a little longer than you think you
should to start your turn in and turning a little faster. Depending on your
joystick, whether or not it had a separate throttle, turning with your
joystick can lay off the throttle a little bit right when you start turning,
which sort of naturally keeps your speed up until the turn-in.
Or something like that,

I used the fire buttons for acceleration and braking so i dont think that
affected it any. But i just got done with another 50 laps at monza and
improved my times some. Ill try what you said and see if i get even faster. I
finally craked 1:35(with the wheel of course) , so im doing better

You may want to alter the steering lock in the car's setup.
