I really like that they have included failed development upgrades. Great to see. More challenge. F1 needed it. Looking forward to Friday more and more.
I'm enjoying the fact that he's building his way up with the car, love a good underdog story and there is nothing as boring as watching someone win continuously.
lol you've made my day. so realistic. i feel sorry you didn't get your upgrade. You've been banging on about the car before you started Q1 in Australia. Keep pushing mate you'll get there... in your 3rd season.
I understand your in a Honda, but Aarav put no quality control and you put 2 quality controls, and Aaravs didnt fail. EDIT: This is off topic, but does anyone notice that the team name is only Mclaren, and not Mclaren-Honda? Thats how irrelevent Honda is lmao
Thats because none of the other teams have their engine manufacturer in their name other than Ferrari and Ferrari is the Manufacturer and the team just like Renault and Mercedes
All cars in Australian spec until Day One patch arrives. In saying that, even the Haas livery in the game is wrong as well as the Haas logo on the sidepods should be red (if it's the Australian spec that is...)
hi ben, great to see you uploading stuff regulary! i was to be honest, a little bit worried that your channel was going into the wrong direction, with not finishing carreer modes and stuff... but i'm really happy to see that you found yourself a way with the 2017 game! i'm back looking all your vids!
Ben - people who subscribe to your videos know that they are in for the long haul. If we wanted to watch drivers winning race after race we can do that elsewhere. Remember, it's a marathon not a sprint. Just make sure that you show every retiree during the race, even if they just park it. ;) GO MCLAREN HONDA
I'm just watching old videos and this career mode is like the squidward meme. Ben excited to start a career mode Ben when he can bearly defend in a mclaren honda
I wonder if the extra fuel that you are carrying in each race is losing you more time, because of its weight, than you are gaining by running in rich mix for a longer period of time. Presumably you get the extra cost of more engine wear if you run in Rich mix longer. Might be worth looking at that in a quick race practise session perhaps to see which is the fastest option out of more fuel with rich mix vs less fuel in standard.
In real-life F1, when you take an extra engine component doesn't it matter when you do so? I remember a TV discussion connected to Mclaren reliability, and they stated that building up a stock of extra parts early in the season was a bad move as you would end up with outdated versions without the latest up upgrades.
Seems like a pretty realistic simulation of being a Mclaren driver. I will be stealing your engine strategy for my Mclaren career run later on this week, I hope you don't mind mate.
Hey, sorry for asking this, maybe you answered it before but I´m quite new to the channel, do you speak while you drive? Or is it recorded and then you do all the speech? Just curious, greetings from Chile!
hey ben I don't really understand the game system, i'm waiting to get the game, but my question here is why do you ordered the 5th power unit and not using say the nº2 power unit?
Adrián González You get no penalty for switching between units 1-4. But you get one for number five. As it is already obvious that four won’t suffice this season, he rather took the penalty now, when the car was terrible and he was way back on the grid, than later, when he might actually have a chance to score points thanks to R&D. Also it’s nice to get the penalties out of the way early even when you are competitive, so they won’t bother you later when fighting for the championship. Then, you might even profit from other drivers’ penalties.
@11:57 I'm sorry but did Palmer HAVE to go back to the racing line straightaway?? He could've just got back onto the track and continue driving, but not go immediately onto the racing line
I just can't believe it. You had still the second, the third and the fourth units fresh to use with no penalties risk. At least knowing how the rules work? You could have taken penalties in other circuits (and you will still), also it's unrealistic as first you need to reach (and use) the fourth component and then using the fifth and taking the penalty. Codemasters screwed it up a bit it seems.
You can't rely on safety cars. To plan a strategy and based on a safety car that may not even happen isn't a good move to me. I could be wrong. But I like to see the struggle now and see you move up the ladder.
5:08 good god that background depth of field looks aaaaaawwwful, consider turning it off in the future episodes? oh wait im watching this way too late :P
that moment you realize you're fighting with your teammate for last place
FeelsBadMan
Story of Sauber every race.
@@ePiiCeaglepwner or williams
HAAS every race rn
Game needs a 'skip Monaco to race the Indy 500 because Honda are crap' option.
Atomicunderware And retire from that race as well.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. At least it's realistic..
Tiametmarduk YEET
triggered!
XD. Hahahha, thought it would be /easy/ to upgrade McClaren's Engine, did ye Ben? omg, for that first minute alone. Have a Like, Sir.
Tiametmarduk if your last and nowhere near the next car just retire and save the engine
Tiametmarduk did you in the race used a new part of everyting from the engine
I really like that they have included failed development upgrades. Great to see. More challenge. F1 needed it. Looking forward to Friday more and more.
Ben the AI change their engines in Bahrain and put the old ones back in at Russia it happened in tom 97s career
I'm enjoying the fact that he's building his way up with the car, love a good underdog story and there is nothing as boring as watching someone win continuously.
Last time I was this early, Kimi won a race with Lotus and not Ferrari
Fam your roasts are hotter than mercedes' tyres
Croatiaboy11 no
LEMONYLAMAS Not bruh. BWOAH!
Last time I was this early, Kimi was having a shit
Welcome to the future where he won in a Ferrari😀
That Homer reaction to the failed upgrade. Priceless!!! XD
lol you've made my day. so realistic. i feel sorry you didn't get your upgrade. You've been banging on about the car before you started Q1 in Australia. Keep pushing mate you'll get there... in your 3rd season.
Holy shit did you see Wehrlein go from 18th to 12th in the first corner? Nice to see the AI divebomb sometimes too.
I understand your in a Honda, but Aarav put no quality control and you put 2 quality controls, and Aaravs didnt fail.
EDIT: This is off topic, but does anyone notice that the team name is only Mclaren, and not Mclaren-Honda? Thats how irrelevent Honda is lmao
lol
PB J
you're*
It doesn't say the engine manufacturers for any of the teams
Thats because none of the other teams have their engine manufacturer in their name other than Ferrari and Ferrari is the Manufacturer and the team just like Renault and Mercedes
19:00 McLaren Honda Formula One Team
The engine feels good....
Much slower than before Amazing!
am I the only one who realized that the HAAS still got the old Livery?!
www.formula1.com/en/latest/headlines/2017/5/haas-unveil-new-livery-ahead-of-monaco.html
All cars in Australian spec until Day One patch arrives. In saying that, even the Haas livery in the game is wrong as well as the Haas logo on the sidepods should be red (if it's the Australian spec that is...)
I know thats what I said...
Philipp Schwitters the first patch is gonna make all of the cars the most recent spec performance and livery wise
Ah ok thanks :D thought about that ...
Don't worry about complaining Ben, your in a McLaren Honda. There is no such thing as complaining when your in a McLaren Honda.
At least this season will be easier to edit, "and here we go, starting in 18th place, and that's how it finished" 3 min video, job done
hi ben, great to see you uploading stuff regulary!
i was to be honest, a little bit worried that your channel was going into the wrong direction, with not finishing carreer modes and stuff... but i'm really happy to see that you found yourself a way with the 2017 game! i'm back looking all your vids!
You should have gone for Force India or even Haas... But I guess that will be rewarding after a couple of races, being able to measure the progress ;)
I think Ben now understands fernando's pain😂
Great job bro, keep up the entertainment. Lovin the struggle, ITS REAL!!
"ALWAYS YOU HAVE TO LEAVE A DA SPACE" - ALO
Nope. Agreed , but alonsos probly the best driver on the grid 2016-17
"We're gonna get an engine upgrade!"
*Development Failed*
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
Wonder what Olonso will say when he hears this
Ben - people who subscribe to your videos know that they are in for the long haul. If we wanted to watch drivers winning race after race we can do that elsewhere. Remember, it's a marathon not a sprint. Just make sure that you show every retiree during the race, even if they just park it. ;) GO MCLAREN HONDA
"That was a strong drive and a good finish" - I'll agree, well played considerin the circumstances
Oh the struggle, the hardship, the frustration. I love it.
Perfect timing of the upload! I was about to study again lol
Okay. At the end of this season, i want a compilation of all of any complains you made about McLaren-Honda! This was too funny ^^
I'm just watching old videos and this career mode is like the squidward meme.
Ben excited to start a career mode
Ben when he can bearly defend in a mclaren honda
😂😂😂 +Tiametmarduk the Simpson's part was so funny! 😂😂😂
I really enjoy your career series, keep it up Ben!

Great job ben! Keep dishing out episodes on a daily basis
Rewatching every career mode episode. Doing a tiametmarduk marathon
You should have take the gamble and pitted during the VSC in the end of your third lap, considering you were close to the pits anyway.
1:04 oh shit u got mad !
Keep up the good work! Love your vids! Big hug from Portugal !
this is gonna be a slow burner but as you develop the R&D this career mode is going to be a very very good one, keep up the great work!!!
Love how jeff is trying to stay positive and Ben is just giving up
Loving the new career mode. Awesome vids man.
"...before Stroll goes for another 'stroll' up my inside" sounds like fun bro
Ben, I like that you included that Simpsons clip. That's one of my favorites.
Ben can you show us what happens when a different racer is out of the race? It would be a welcome addition :)
In real-life F1, when you take an extra engine component doesn't it matter when you do so? I remember a TV discussion connected to Mclaren reliability, and they stated that building up a stock of extra parts early in the season was a bad move as you would end up with outdated versions without the latest up upgrades.
This career mode is so enjoyable! I am so excited for f1 2017!
Love this series and love your daily uploads keep it up !!
That is just 0,5% of what Alonso feels every week 😂
Seems like a pretty realistic simulation of being a Mclaren driver. I will be stealing your engine strategy for my Mclaren career run later on this week, I hope you don't mind mate.
"This is... embarrassing. Very embarrassing.
GP2 engine. GP2... Ragghh!!"
That's brilliant love the development in this game.
You know things are bad when you find yourself fighting with Marcus Ericsson.....
Its going to be quite satisfying when the car starts improving. Until then you're in survival mode...which I don't mind watching.
This game is so real 😂
Except Räikkönen
I hate F1, but I really like the game and I love these commentaries.
Ahhhh yes, that failed part makes up a bit for the points finish last race XD
When you put new aero upgrades on the car, can you see them?
For example new front wing, new rear ring etc.
for the next episode, we'll either hear 'sound of silence' or 'fix you'
"I'm doing everything I can to hold on to position" aka dive bombs everywhere and just blocks the AI so they can't overtake
Loving the everyday career mode keep it up
McLaren drivers with those big black gloves look like they are about to inspect you in a not so polite manner.
I do like that you have to do work to get that victory, it is entertaining
today my rabbit died and was very sad all day but thank you ben for constantly making good videos its helped me feel better after watching this
i really love your series and i can´t wait until friday
Best use of a simpsons clip I have ever seen!
This is really realistic I like this Career mode, may you'll be champion on season 3, I hope it will take some time to be champion !
Hey, sorry for asking this, maybe you answered it before but I´m quite new to the channel, do you speak while you drive? Or is it recorded and then you do all the speech? Just curious, greetings from Chile!
You can tell when he heard the news he was pissed
This FRIDAY IS AN ABSOLUTE AMAZING DAY :))))))
It's my friends birthday, we r going to karting and soap football!!
F1 2017's releasing and F1's back!!
That Simpsons clip :'D hilarious and perfectly appropriate.
hey ben I don't really understand the game system, i'm waiting to get the game, but my question here is why do you ordered the 5th power unit and not using say the nº2 power unit?

OMG those memes are sooo funny keep it up Ben!
i like your seasons. just keep going bro, i'm waiting for the next video
more more more more more! the struggle is real, but it is entertaining :D greetings from Germany!
4:20 the "WTF are you doing ben?" moment.
Anyone else think, "Get that McLaren out of the way" when Ben got lapped?
Ben you should short shift more to save engine especially when your Judah circulating
When does the ASR 2017 championships begin? They're my favorite video series on this channel.
@11:57 I'm sorry but did Palmer HAVE to go back to the racing line straightaway?? He could've just got back onto the track and continue driving, but not go immediately onto the racing line
you should use the kerbs more when exiting a corner
I already fucking love the career mode this year
That was the best Simpson cutaway I've ever seen 😂
Tiametmarduk, we know you're fighting hard with this car, but you can do it!
I just can't believe it. You had still the second, the third and the fourth units fresh to use with no penalties risk. At least knowing how the rules work? You could have taken penalties in other circuits (and you will still), also it's unrealistic as first you need to reach (and use) the fourth component and then using the fifth and taking the penalty. Codemasters screwed it up a bit it seems.
Alonso at 12:00
Alonso: Where's Palmer?
Jeff: Palmer has spun and given 2 positions to Daly.
Alonso: Karma.
You can stock up on power units in game? Thought they got rid of that irl this year after Hamilton at spa last year.
Hey Ben in those new championship modes, with different rules, is there a setting to make it so that the cars are the same in performace?
At least you and Nando agree about the car perfomance
Didn't even got a notification but still watching the video👌
I don't think you can ever bang on about a GP2 engine too much
Mclaren Honda career mode in a nutshell: "Battle for last position"
There's a 4th engine mode beyond rich revs Ben, USE IT!!!!
You can't rely on safety cars. To plan a strategy and based on a safety car that may not even happen isn't a good move to me. I could be wrong. But I like to see the struggle now and see you move up the ladder.
Be a man and put it on 110 difficulty!
xFitcho hoi fitcho
F y
xFitcho be a man and do F1 2017!
You do f1 2017 career mode on 110 difficulty
"Be a man!" - Russell Peters
You are an Aussie version of Fernando Alonso. :D :D Why stop complaining? Embrace the McLaren life! Good video!
please do some do some double uploads on career mode
Can u show your setup so when the game is out we can put it on
7:26 ben's done the same move as aarav on kmag
Vandoorne style 65 grid penalty inc
Daily career mode is epic
a path to glory would be nice. Like starting your own team.
we need at least 2 of these videos a day!
5:08 good god that background depth of field looks aaaaaawwwful, consider turning it off in the future episodes? oh wait im watching this way too late :P
Ahhhh that was gloriously realistic. More 18th places on the power tracks plz
