In the game i have a default input of 50% with both throttle and brake

If you experience an issue like this and if you're playing on PC, the first step is to check if the same problem is visible in the driver panel as well. When the pedal inputs are correct there, it indicates that the Fanatec hardware and software are functioning properly. In this case, the issue is isolated to the game, likely due to a configuration or setting within the game. If you're playing on console, please check issue in another game.

We hope you understand that it is challenging for us to be familiar with every game in detail. We recommend checking a forum related to the game or contacting the game's support team if a closer look at the in-game settings does not resolve the problem.

One root cause could be the following:
The default input of 50% for both throttle and brake in your F1 game might be due to the "Combined Pedals" setting being enabled. This setting maps the brake and accelerator to a single axis, where 0% to 50% is operated by the brake pedal and 50% to 100% by the accelerator pedal. This is typically used for compatibility with older games that support only a single axis for both braking and accelerating. To adjust this, you can access the settings in your wheel base or Fanatec software to disable the "Combined Pedals" feature, ensuring that each pedal operates independently on separate axes.

Please do not forget to check the inputs in the driver to be sure whether only the game or the Fanatec hardware/software is involved in this unwanted behavior ;-)
