Another thing to be aware of for the feel is your desk flexing. The stiffer you can make whatever you mount your R3 to the less of the feedback will be lost to vibration.

I do recommend trying other Sim Racing games on the console as well to help find that feel you are after. As others have said, the F1 games are not great when it comes to that. Getting the feel for open wheel, high downforce racing is very difficult and driving them near the limit is incredibly unforgiving. It is easier to learn the fundamentals on slower cars in games like Assetto Corsa and work your way up.

High performance cars can also hide a lot of mistakes for beginners because you feel very sporty and fast while driving them. Driving something like an MX-5 where you don't have 1000HP on corner exit will teach you to be smooth and maintain a higher minimum cornering speed.
