Need your advice, should I take the 7th power unit in Canada and start last? this car is really burning through the power units right now, today's newish engine for monaco will only be good for one more weekend >.

Its true about the qualifying. I was messing around with the AI settings to try and get it realistic to my pace. I chose the Renault team and qualified 17th but managed to drive up and finish 5th behind the Mercs and Ferrari's with no problem.
richard20062006 Good game but i still hate the AI... the AI is still literally shit. They surely are more aggressive but i still can move like over 10 places in start of the race because the AI are so sloooow and cautious in the first lap what makes me to think what point is even to do qualifying.. just start P20 as Merc and u are in top 10 after first corner.. And the AI are still too fucking dumb like my sister who is 6 would be much better engineer than Jeff. If i would be Toto Wolff i would put Jeff's imagine to the table what he is smashing always when somebody fucks up because when u do, u know it was 99% surely because Jeff's brilliant strategy chance ideas where is never any fcking sense and i dont even need to say about when is raining... and i dont know is he wanking on the pit wall or something but i had in Singapore gp gearbox failure (or at least i think it was because my gearbox was like 60-70% worn already) so i couldn't go to 4th gear and when i asked Jeff about my vehicle condition he said everything is fine WHEN I DONT HAVE FUCKING 4th GEAR FOR FUCK SAKE JEFF (and what i mean by i dont have 4th gear is when i chanced on 3th to 4th or 5th to 4th then it was like driving on Neutral and nothing happened but soon as i go out 4th gear i was fine again) But this game has just come out so they probably will fix some of this "bugs" sooner or later, but if they could just get the AI better it would be 10/10 game. Now its like 8/10 because AI is really most important thing in this game and thats what brings the realism on the game. And this gearbox & engine penaltys have gone way out of hand by the AI. In Monza gp i qualify P18 but almost everyone front of me got some kind of grid penalties so i started in P4... like when was the last time that over 15 people got grid penalties in the same race? srlsy codies get ur shit together
regarding crew not fixing wing - I have noticed that the option in the MFD now provides an additional choice - default is auto, which I am guessing means only change if the crew believe it is bad enough, so if you want to force change need to set the setting to 'yes'
Did anyone notice that Lewis who was originally on pole in 5:10 dropped down through the field and Kimi getting 2nd was up to first place in 5:46? I wonder is there a glitch cause the qualifying lap time is absolutely wrong with Kimi (1:10:802 to 1:13:614).
@tiametmarduk Can you please do a video with some tips on how to manage the gearbox and powertrain wear, with regard to driving style, when to change the units, when to take new ones, etc.? Thanks!
Akmal Ibrahim i don't have the game but here are my thoughts: being on the throttle means fuel consumption, therefore less throttling means less consumption. So try to get off the throttle before corners earlier to get slower without having to break so you don't "waste" the fuel you used for throttling. Hope that helped :) greetings
Hey Ben! Another awesome video man! Quick question if you have the time! I'm really struggling with the Fuel Management test in practices and I have no idea what I can do to make it any better! I've been dramatically slowing my lap times by easing the throttle and even go near enough half pace down the straights but the fuel just stays in the red for the entire lap. Got any tips to help out a noob like myself?
You should try putting more into the reliability of the engine upgrades perk, I went straight to 4/5 on my game and have had no fails so far (also in McLaren).
Would you say that Force Feedback is a necessary feature? I'm a little low on money and really looking into buying a racing wheel because F1 just seems more fun with a wheel. Is some cheaper Thrustmaster Wheel enough or is it really lightyears off of the Force Feedback Wheels/Versions? Asking especially for F1, Gran Turismo 6 (but that's not necessary cause I don't play much on the Ps3) and Forza Horizon 3.
I have a question I just completed 3 laps in a short quali but when I earn my rss points it says I failed valid laps in Q1 and when I finished my 3rd lap after I quali 5th in toro rosso it droped me down to 13 after the final lap and time for Q1 was completed
I always have the hardest time on this track it’s really embarrassing when my fastest time is a 1:21:210 and I’m using a controller I just cannot get the right set up to go second faster and I tried everything but I’m also in career mode and damages full on with 100% laps
Yes because you performed well and got some points with a deserved 9th place. You've done that with a fairly worn engine, so im sure you can do the same and even better with a new engine. But then again you are getting closer to a grid penalty with the power units.
Why did you start with 6 engines? I started with HAAS and I only have 4 engines available.. Did you start with 4 as well and added 2 and took some penalties or did you start your first season with 6?

AI is like Mercedes this year :D I'm racing with McLaren too. In China with rain I finished 5th (Started 17th - Difficulty 95).
Hij Ben! I am also playing F1 2017 but I have many problems with saving my engine. Next stop is Monaco and the ICE, Turbo and MGU-H are already on their 3rd engine. I'm racing.on PC with a Renault. Can you help me???
Two things that should happen in the next patch: 1) Nerf Kimi 2) Fix the reliability in the power development (mainly for McLaren), it's quite obvious in your case but a friend of mine is playing and he says that the game should give some leash on R&D for the bottom teams
Like so Ben sees. Finally he goes to 110 difficulty should have done it from the beginning. Yet he is still a little OP. Still needs a little nerfing! You need to focus on durability and reliability upgrades yet a bit silly to not recognise it. Or you will waste resource points.
Ben smashing Ocon into the wall, not getting punished. Ocon forced to pit, putting Fernando in the points. Fernando pitting. Welcome to McLaren: Aren´t even able to cheat xD
I've been noticing a lot of people are making soooooo many places in the fist corner, it seems wierd that you can make 5,6 positions by going to the inside and braking late
I changed all my engine parts over to new ones during practice and I got a 5 place grid penalty? It was only second load of parts so I hadn't taken any new ones. Can anyone tell me why?! I'm stumped! Is it a bug?
Trying to do mclaren in my game.... No matter what I do I can't pass the tire test, qualifying test and the fualing one all because I can't beat the delta time... Is this a common thing or just me? Can't upgrade the car that much with no points for it...
You probably would have got out of Q1 if you had kept the difficulty at 104. But it's very admirable of you to drive that dog of a McLaren at 110% difficulty
Alex Nahid he basically knew he was gonna qualify last or very close to it, so it won't make a difference to get a new PU early on and get the penalties out of the way. So that when he eventually upgraded the engine, he wouldn't need to get more PUs and suffer the penalties when he could've qualified much higher up the field. Sry if my explanation was a bit complicated.!
They're definitely too slow in the races. I'm doing a Sauber career mode, practice programs are super challenging, and then in qualifying I'm usually 17th-20th. But then in the races I'm finishing in the points consistently. 12th in Australia, 8th in China, 6th in Bahrain, and 2nd in Russia. If I turn up the AI any more I can't pass the practice programs, and quali is impossible. But If I leave it where its at then I'm finishing way out of position in the races. I mean, I scored a podium in a Sauber, albeit after a safety car gave me a free pit stop, but still. The difficulty isn't low either, I'm running it at the low end of legendary. Definitely needs to be worked on.
I noticed that too with the quali pace, p19 in quali in a sauber around china and then I pulled a corker out of my arse and finished 3rd, idk what that is about (Ai is on 110)
Hey Ben, I hope you read this. You asked if people would like setup type videos. I'd greatly appreciate setups for as many tracks as you don't mind doing. Cheers.
Need your advice, should I take the 7th power unit in Canada and start last? this car is really burning through the power units right now, today's newish engine for monaco will only be good for one more weekend >.
Yeah i'd do it as i doubt you'd qualify very high up in Canada with the long straights.
Tiametmarduk you are the best!!! I sub and like every of your vids, keep up the good work!!!
Tiametmarduk use this one for quali and then put a new engine in
Tiametmarduk yeah fair
canada's a power track so just change the engines for quali and keep the old one for free practice
WTF Ericsson first corner he came like a torpedo
MavenichGaming I believe that was actually Kvyat
TheKoalabear It wouldve surprise me if he got moved to sauber tbh
I no right
I think Ericsson hit us

I chose Sauber and i have the same problem as you.
Same thing for me in a renault, qualified 19th when hulk was 9th, finish 10th et hulk was like 7th-8th when he retired
Everybody faster on qualy in real life too.
Demise90 Racing Same problem in my Toro Rosso career
Yeah I'm on 101 Difficulty (Ultimate) and In a Torro Rosso I qualified 19th and finished 5th. No idea why there's such a big pace difference.
That Ericsson divebomb reminded me of Scott's jumpstart in the TH-camr Championship. Absolutely hilarious
This is one of the best F1 Games, I'm addicted already!
me too
richard20062006 Same. Last F1 game I played was in 2007 or 2008. The practice sessions in this game is fun.
Akmal Ibrahim That's funny because 2007 and 2008 were the only years in the last 20+ years that didn't have an official F1 game.
richard20062006 Good game but i still hate the AI... the AI is still literally shit. They surely are more aggressive but i still can move like over 10 places in start of the race because the AI are so sloooow and cautious in the first lap what makes me to think what point is even to do qualifying.. just start P20 as Merc and u are in top 10 after first corner..

Roni Kuru cuz on pro simulation mode you should use first lap to warm up tires instead of aggressive overtaking
I love how the Mclaren cars look this season... like a true backmarker team :D
I love the fact that AI get penalty's due to mechanical failures. It really adds to the realism.
Ive been watching this channel now for a few years now. Thought it was time to get an F1 Game again (2012 was my last)
Keep up the Stella content!
Just watched the real gp now watching this! It's turning out to be a good day
I love how you're losing the rivalry to Alonso despite outscoring him 16-0 to that point.
Red suit is my city
That has to be the greatest dive bomb I've ever seen from an A.I. car. Ericsson = Mvp for this race :O
regarding crew not fixing wing - I have noticed that the option in the MFD now provides an additional choice - default is auto, which I am guessing means only change if the crew believe it is bad enough, so if you want to force change need to set the setting to 'yes'
A familiar red suit
Poor Jolyon in quali today :(
esMusicalus ikr he did so well it's always his engine that fails and not hulkenbergs
esMusicalus yeah shame about that. Hopefully points are on the cards tomorrow
Itz.just.Will i would be the first time that he could be faster
S1mple mate we're real drivers, and what about your profile picture
top 10 saddest anime deaths
I don't know if you maxed the difficulty because of my comment or not, but I'm very proud of you that you did it.
"No matter what I do I never seem to qualify ahead of Fernando"
Don't worry Ben, that's the thoughts of pretty much all of his team-mates ever!
Exempt Lewis
Ericsson doing an intothebarrier dive first coner..
If you gen an offer from another team, will you join them or stick with mclaren honda until they're top team?
Did anyone notice that Lewis who was originally on pole in 5:10 dropped down through the field and Kimi getting 2nd was up to first place in 5:46?
I wonder is there a glitch cause the qualifying lap time is absolutely wrong with Kimi (1:10:802 to 1:13:614).
Driving this track in the Williams is absolutely rage inducing.
can you make a tutorial for the fuel managment? it's impossible for me
JUminator
Same here
JUminator shift early, coasting doesnt work
Just lift and coast, that's what I do
Yusuf Demirel it does, I get purple just doing that
JUminator just coast and short shift, not that hard lol
@tiametmarduk Can you please do a video with some tips on how to manage the gearbox and powertrain wear, with regard to driving style, when to change the units, when to take new ones, etc.? Thanks!
Drinking game! Take a shot every time Kimi wins in Ben's career mode
Marcus ericcson at turn 1 that was filthy
I finish watching Belgium Quali, then Aarav's career vid pops up. I finish that, then Ben drops his video xD
Ericsson's move was the greatest thing I have ever seen by F1 AI
Anyone having trouble with the engine ware for the McLaren Honda I'm up to Austria and on the 3rd part for almost everything
MICHEAL EROPLAT that’s how mclaren Honda works😎
Any tips on how to do Fuel Management Practice? That practice is hella difficult.
Akmal Ibrahim i don't have the game but here are my thoughts: being on the throttle means fuel consumption, therefore less throttling means less consumption. So try to get off the throttle before corners earlier to get slower without having to break so you don't "waste" the fuel you used for throttling. Hope that helped :) greetings
Hey Ben! Another awesome video man! Quick question if you have the time! I'm really struggling with the Fuel Management test in practices and I have no idea what I can do to make it any better! I've been dramatically slowing my lap times by easing the throttle and even go near enough half pace down the straights but the fuel just stays in the red for the entire lap. Got any tips to help out a noob like myself?
How did codemasters not figure out this Kimi OP nonesense?
You should try putting more into the reliability of the engine upgrades perk, I went straight to 4/5 on my game and have had no fails so far (also in McLaren).
Would you say that Force Feedback is a necessary feature? I'm a little low on money and really looking into buying a racing wheel because F1 just seems more fun with a wheel. Is some cheaper Thrustmaster Wheel enough or is it really lightyears off of the Force Feedback Wheels/Versions?
Asking especially for F1, Gran Turismo 6 (but that's not necessary cause I don't play much on the Ps3) and Forza Horizon 3.
Darkeight 8 The t150 is a super cheap ffb wheel and is the best value for money wheel
Happy to see you struggling on career. So am I, and I chose Force. Have only
met requirements 2/7 times and I'm running 100
im glad they made kimi's skill realistic
I have a question I just completed 3 laps in a short quali but when I earn my rss points it says I failed valid laps in Q1 and when I finished my 3rd lap after I quali 5th in toro rosso it droped me down to 13 after the final lap and time for Q1 was completed
I don't get the hoarding of new power units, shouldn't those be the unupgraded ones? Or PUs which can't be upgraded afterwards?
Ben, would you mind showing your set ups? I drive McLaren aswell in career mode and would love to copy your setups
Out of curiosity - why did you not run 11/11 wings? I don't think less wing brings any benefit at Monaco tbh
How do you take the hair Pin i have to almost stop the car and Still hit the walls a little ?🤔🤔
I always have the hardest time on this track it’s really embarrassing when my fastest time is a 1:21:210 and I’m using a controller I just cannot get the right set up to go second faster and I tried everything but I’m also in career mode and damages full on with 100% laps
Yes because you performed well and got some points with a deserved 9th place. You've done that with a fairly worn engine, so im sure you can do the same and even better with a new engine. But then again you are getting closer to a grid penalty with the power units.
The VTEC is really disfunctional this year; it either kicks in so hard ur engine blows, or it doesn't kick in at all....
Damn, I started watching your F1 2017 championship yesterday, I need to keep up like last season...
Why did you start with 6 engines? I started with HAAS and I only have 4 engines available.. Did you start with 4 as well and added 2 and took some penalties or did you start your first season with 6?
AI is like Mercedes this year :D
I'm racing with McLaren too. In China with rain I finished 5th (Started 17th - Difficulty 95).
can we possibly get more setup videos?
Hij Ben!
I am also playing F1 2017 but I have many problems with saving my engine. Next stop is Monaco and the ICE, Turbo and MGU-H are already on their 3rd engine. I'm racing.on PC with a Renault. Can you help me???
Two things that should happen in the next patch:
1) Nerf Kimi
2) Fix the reliability in the power development (mainly for McLaren), it's quite obvious in your case but a friend of mine is playing and he says that the game should give some leash on R&D for the bottom teams
Monaco is Thursday practice not Friday ;-)
And your idea of a 7th engine at Canada is a good one!
Like so Ben sees. Finally he goes to 110 difficulty should have done it from the beginning. Yet he is still a little OP. Still needs a little nerfing! You need to focus on durability and reliability upgrades yet a bit silly to not recognise it. Or you will waste resource points.
WOW. 110% difficulty, and AI runs faster than actual F1 drivers. Pole time is totaly insane.
Regular corner cutting stringency only? You can driver against 110 AI, but not keep it on the track? I don't believe so.
Just noticed the new graphics,don't know for how long its been up but it looks nice.
@12:16, did I just see the Safety Car turn into a ghost???
Just finished Barein and in my career mode is Vettel the one who won both of the races. Actually Kimi didn't even finish in Australia, nor Alonso btw.
Very good video tiam :)
Did the contest for the game f1 2017 is ended ?
How do you manage 110%? If I race at 60%, I can only *just* win in a Merc. Then again, I use a keyboard and don't practice often.
Ben smashing Ocon into the wall, not getting punished. Ocon forced to pit, putting Fernando in the points. Fernando pitting. Welcome to McLaren: Aren´t even able to cheat xD
I no it's only a game but it's heartbreaking as a mclaren fan seeing every update fail
I've been noticing a lot of people are making soooooo many places in the fist corner, it seems wierd that you can make 5,6 positions by going to the inside and braking late
Ben doesn't seem to understand that if the arrow is red, it means you will hit the car if you turn at it.
So with the power units, I can just add more and more when they get low or is there a limit?
I changed all my engine parts over to new ones during practice and I got a 5 place grid penalty? It was only second load of parts so I hadn't taken any new ones.
Can anyone tell me why?! I'm stumped! Is it a bug?
What was that about Verstappen starting last on the grid at Monaco?
I find that the pace in the tire wear and the fuel saving management are so had to keep up with
What steering wheel set up do you have when you're gaming? Have you got a race seat set up?
Kimi is clearly driving with easy difficulty
oh that familiar red suit...
Can you make a video of all of your current car set ups?
Trying to do mclaren in my game.... No matter what I do I can't pass the tire test, qualifying test and the fualing one all because I can't beat the delta time... Is this a common thing or just me? Can't upgrade the car that much with no points for it...
Do the AI teams develop and improve their car performance as well during career? i.e. Is the team performance balance constantly changing?
Henry Charles yes they do develop their cars like around once every 3 or 4 races by a bit
Tiametmarduk I want to buy a steering wheel, what is the best one to get for f1 game? No budget limitations.
I'm using a Sauber and Ultimate AI is completly dominating me on straights.
irl Mclaren qualified p9 and p10 at Monaco not p17 and p18, nice job Codemasters.
You probably would have got out of Q1 if you had kept the difficulty at 104. But it's very admirable of you to drive that dog of a McLaren at 110% difficulty
Will you be posting any more setups videos ???
Thank u for doing all the eps and series
"That's acctualy my worst result at Monaco"
Ben... do you remember F1 2011??? I just say D.S.Q...
*I've been disqualified!!!!*
When are the liveries and Hamilton helmet gonna be updated?
Haha, a lot of people where complaining that Ben always divebombs the first corner and that the AI doesn't do that, well they have been proven wrong 😂
I'm driving for sauber and in the second GP (China) my gearbox and my engine started failing... Is it possible? OMG
Can someone explain why I can't make it round the sharpe left on here....
Do you have some tips to keep the engine in good shape?
Why did you jump to 6th PU when the 2nd, the 3rd, the 4th and the 5th were fine? I don't get it
So he doesn't get a penalty when he has to switch to them again, i believe.
KeksnussSC OK, thanks. But it's still a very uncommon thing xD
Alex Nahid he basically knew he was gonna qualify last or very close to it, so it won't make a difference to get a new PU early on and get the penalties out of the way. So that when he eventually upgraded the engine, he wouldn't need to get more PUs and suffer the penalties when he could've qualified much higher up the field. Sry if my explanation was a bit complicated.!
Alex Nahid cause Honda engines are S H I T
Ericsson out dive bombing the king of dive bombs
Witch tyres are best to start and finish the race
🤔
Spent all your points on the durability on the engine parts so that you dont have to get penalty's
They're definitely too slow in the races. I'm doing a Sauber career mode, practice programs are super challenging, and then in qualifying I'm usually 17th-20th. But then in the races I'm finishing in the points consistently. 12th in Australia, 8th in China, 6th in Bahrain, and 2nd in Russia. If I turn up the AI any more I can't pass the practice programs, and quali is impossible. But If I leave it where its at then I'm finishing way out of position in the races. I mean, I scored a podium in a Sauber, albeit after a safety car gave me a free pit stop, but still. The difficulty isn't low either, I'm running it at the low end of legendary.

I noticed that too with the quali pace, p19 in quali in a sauber around china and then I pulled a corker out of my arse and finished 3rd, idk what that is about (Ai is on 110)
Lol Ben, I seen the thumbnail saying part 6 and in the title saying part 7 XD. You've fixed it
DAB
It's all about damage limitation at Monaco when you're in a slow McLaren Honda that has no power.
Hey Ben, I hope you read this. You asked if people would like setup type videos. I'd greatly appreciate setups for as many tracks as you don't mind doing. Cheers.
New sub man , great job! just loving your vds , keep up the good work!!
why aren't there red stripes on the Williams cars?
I wish Kimi was this dominant in real life.
0:03 why is he at Spain
NJC 747 he's not. It's just showing the last race results
19:10 haaaaa , that was so easy to predicted mclaren honda!
