Here I am in 2022 watching this and 1) amazed at how far this channel has come and 2) amazed at how much F1 has changed/evolved/improved since 2016. Thanks for the many years of great content, Ben!
I'm a new viewer (just finding your new Monaco race video yesterday), and I've been binge watching your F1 2016 career series. So much fun, awesome work and keep up the amazing content!
I like the fact that you are uploading the episodes so fast. It just proves that F1 2016 is way more fun, that you are enjoying it a lot more, and so are we. I appreciate this specially because it means that we won't have to wait 1 year until that Manor gets to the front row ;)
My problem with this game. I went through a few quick races to see what sort of difficulty I should drive one. I found Expert to be ideal. Start up career. Join Manor. Qualify 19th for Albert Park. Finish 8th (largely due to my tyre management). Bahrain. Qualify 17th. Overtake the whole field in the first couple corners. Keep Hamilton behind me until his pit stop (DRS and all). I drive clean the whole race and am able to finish 2nd. Despite having either a Red Bull or Mercedes right up my gearbox. Nico Rosberg wins the race ahead of me by 45 seconds. I was 1-2 seconds a lap slower than the guy who won the race. I finish second. I maintained 2nd position by making clean overtakes in the corners following DRS straights. THE POINT is that my lap times are the pace of someone driving a 15th-22nd placed car. But for whatver reason, the AI can't make a maneuver stick.
Points on ultimate AI...that Manor is pretty fast but I would say that you have developed your car faster than the competition has which is why you are getting better pace early. Keep tuning etc. Also so you know, you have inspired me to get a system, and the game, and start creating content for my channel so keep that up. See you at the races!

Rosberg smashed his rear wing twice reversing lol. He should have lost a rear tyre I think. That VSC bug is brutal, they shouldn't count your delta in sector 3, because if you're that close to the line its an auto penalty.
I'm in a Renault.. Started the season well and vettel started poorly, and he is now my rival and is destroying my rep with my team! How the fuck am I supposed to beat him
There's nothing to fix here. Mate he's trying to take Manor all the way to the top. It's part of the game to do development and improve the car. But you can opt of this as well in which case the Manor will stay a backmarker team. Taking a backmarker to the top is the main reason Ben chose Manor. Expect to see better results than 9th in the upcoming races from him.
Matt 93 I do agree with that. But it is unrealistic that over the course of just 3 races Manor goes from a backmarker team to fighting for points every week. That would never happen and needs to be fixed....
The VSC gives you a range to keep within so Ben got a penalty for going too slow. You can see the warning pops up again and disappears as he picks up speed.
I think the driver of the day thing is based on how good the team is and where a driver ends. For example a manor in the points and all the other teams at the place they should be.
can you do a video, when you talk about your ideas and improvements that codemasters added to the game during beta testing, becuse i really would like to know :D
Mad respect for that finish. It seems like it does require a decent bit of luck though to get a resuult as good as this. So if it is going to be very luckdependant for the rest of the season to score points the road to glory will seem rocky and realistic, which imo it should.
There's a glitch on F1 2016 that stops AI from overtaking under yellow flags even if the car in front is the one causing the yellow flag. That's why Pascal slowed behind Button and there were cars stopped on track when there was a VSC. Bottas had stopped on track and they didn't want to go past.
Anybody have any tips for the qualy lap and tyre wear tests? I can't do them very well. The track acclimatisation test is fine and I'm competitive in the rave
For tyre wear tests you might want to turn on the racing line aid. You do get worse wear if you go off the racing line. Otherwise make sure you are turning smoothly and also ensure you are not just stomping on your pedals.
man i'm with manor too, toro rosso made a huge upgrade and are now the 3rd best team and my new rival is Perez too. only i had 8 points before Russia and crashed out because kimi didn't want me to finish the race
I'd like to see Codemasters implement a quick race option like on F1 Championship Edition so you can decide the grid. What I used to do was place them all in a realistic order but put drivers I liked ahead and drivers I didn't like lower down but still realistic. Plus Ben could do the backwards grid challenge like from F1CE
Is there any way to view the speed trap data in the game? I know you can see it on the live tv feed screen but how do you see your speed trap data vs everyone else's?
There's a glitch in F1 2016 which makes the AI refuse to overtake under yellow flags even if the car in front is stopped on the track or going slow. That's why Pascal didn't ass Button and there were cars stopped on the track because Bottas in front of them had broken down and stopped.
Had a similar safety car glitch on this circuit with the pace being set by the AI being too slow, 3 quarters of the field got drive throughs including me
Maybe its just me but i think the AI is just too slow, especially into turn 1 on most tracks on the first lap, you go straight up the inside and gain at least 5 - 6 places every time guaranteed
Much better on ultimate difficulty. Massive luck with the crash but 7 laps of not catching a car in a Manor is realistic if not completely entertaining. This career mode for me is about seeing you progress the car not get podiums in the first season.
I am Struggeling with the Tire Managment and the Qualifing Pace on the difficulty after hard, i just cant catch with the delta laps i dont know why and lower difficultys are feeling shite because your way to fast, im playing with a xbox controller on the pc
driving in wet on wets is undriveable in this game and thats with only med traction control .BEN what traction control do you use ,if off then try full wet its totaly undriveable even full traction control is hard this needs to be fixed
Same thing happened to me an hour ago, same exact track, same exact place on the track. However I somehow didn't get a penalty. Game kept glitching back and forth on the delta time I was suppose to be running under VSC.
I am following your videos as i get to each round of the championship. I feel your pain with strange things happening under the safety car. I had a car just slam on the breaks in front of me. I had nowhere to go and went straight up the back of him. Used a rewind which i hate doing. They really need to fix a few of these bugs. That warning you got for an illegal overtake on Massa was stupid too.
I think the VSC problem was, that they give you the target laptime and as you were right infront of the finishing line and the lap was driven under normal pace you've been way below this time. But this would be kinda stupid.
Am I the only one who seems to suck at this game? I want to be realistic so I don't use any assists but I just seem to spin out so easily. And then when I don't spin I'm too cautios. Does anyobody have tips on how to get better? :D
I'm exactly the same. I turned off assists and learnt to control the traction but now I'm too slow and cautious. I also keep getting hit by the AI and end up crashing all the time.
traction control on full and just work your way up the difficulty then take the traction control down to medium and see how you are (maybe take it down a difficulty) and then if your confident with traction control on medium take it off and maybe take the difficulty down if needed. Weak track for AI: Sochi,russia and some of the Europeans circuits (that's what it was like for me at least) I hoped this helped!
I'm the same. Although this is the first F1 game I've played since F1 2013! I use no assists and will continue playing like this till I work my way up the difficulties. I recommend that because then you can only get better with no assists.
Great race. I've just ordered the F1 2016 Limited edition , can't wait to get stuck in :D Doing my own career mode on TH-cam in the 'banana' car as you guys call it ;)
Here I am in 2022 watching this and 1) amazed at how far this channel has come and 2) amazed at how much F1 has changed/evolved/improved since 2016. Thanks for the many years of great content, Ben!
love how rosberg reversed into the concrete barrier not once but twice.
#realismatitsbestlol
Realism: a tits best lol
real ma tit s best lol
Real Is Ma Tits Best LOL
ANOTHER ONE
5 episodes a day for 10 months!
You are just amazing!!! 😀
Keep em coming! This is totally binge watch worthy
this is great super Excellent everything is fantastic
Another bites the dust
"It feels more realistic now" But ferrari won a race
Hahahaha
If Vettel sees this comment he'll cry...
Savage
the Ferrari wins cause the wet dry conditions
this isn t realistic but the game makes more fun when
3 or 4 drivers fighting for the worldchampionship
at Bahrain i had a ferrari 1-2 finish and Hamilton was 10th with double DNF for red bull
I'm a new viewer (just finding your new Monaco race video yesterday), and I've been binge watching your F1 2016 career series. So much fun, awesome work and keep up the amazing content!

Thank you so much Benjamin, for all these episodes! Great work.
wow what an annoying VSC bug. Who tested this game?
Just some minor f1 youtubers
there are no major f1 youtubers, ben is the biggest
It was a joke
Few stupid players, who are popular just because they post videos on youtube
fucking chipmunks xmattyg
So much better in the right difficulty for you, great to see teammate battles for once! Keep it up
My problem with this game.
I went through a few quick races to see what sort of difficulty I should drive one. I found Expert to be ideal.
Start up career. Join Manor. Qualify 19th for Albert Park. Finish 8th (largely due to my tyre management).

Loving this series Ben, keep up the top class work!
I'm loving this series so far keep up the good work ben
Loving this series so far.
I love how often you are uploading
You need to attack the speed limiter line more, you braked way to early & crossed it going 29mph when the limit is 50mph
Points on ultimate AI...that Manor is pretty fast but I would say that you have developed your car faster than the competition has which is why you are getting better pace early. Keep tuning etc.
Also so you know, you have inspired me to get a system, and the game, and start creating content for my channel so keep that up.
See you at the races!

I really want to play this game, but I don't have a compatible PC or a console for it
Same
+Param Chauhan same 😭😭😭😭
Same
Same as well 😣
I have a ps4 but don't have the money for the game 😭
Rosberg smashed his rear wing twice reversing lol. He should have lost a rear tyre I think. That VSC bug is brutal, they shouldn't count your delta in sector 3, because if you're that close to the line its an auto penalty.
Yeah lol I saw that, Fucking dumb AI😂
Just found your channel, really enjoying this series. :)
When are you actually going to do that 'trying to get sacked' video?
Do not know anything about F1 but I love this series
Man, this series is rolling!
I love that you have the balls to accept a crash... I admit, I rewind. But I envy you
I'm in a Renault.. Started the season well and vettel started poorly, and he is now my rival and is destroying my rep with my team! How the fuck am I supposed to beat him
exactly the same mate
I was in the haas and got rosberg...
+DutchGamePlayMaker I was in a red bull and got button and i won my first 2 races
Same, I have Rosberg as my rival and I'm driving in a McLaren
+Gamerz150 it's ridiculous isn't it!??! Apparently don't get a new one until you beat them as well.. Gonna take me ages hahaha
Whoop Whoop my favourite f1 2016 series!!!!
Oh Shit so fast with all this eps, keep feeding me.
I'm fucking depressed seeing F1 2016 videos when i can't even afford the game, hell.
👏👏👏👏
It is only 40 quid but then i guess if you don't have 40 quid then you can't afford it and i don't even know what i am saying anymore.
Song in background in beginning is Surface-Aerochord
"How's the wife and kids?"
I could not stop laughing at that!
i can't wait for my favorit circuit Gilles-Villeneuve !!!
Great video bro keep showing more races.
9th in a Manor on hardest difficulty?!? Codemasters fix this!!!!
Once. All year....
Again, once... All year.
There's nothing to fix here. Mate he's trying to take Manor all the way to the top. It's part of the game to do development and improve the car. But you can opt of this as well in which case the Manor will stay a backmarker team. Taking a backmarker to the top is the main reason Ben chose Manor. Expect to see better results than 9th in the upcoming races from him.
A bit improved Manor and this season this is the 1st race on hardest difficulty so it's still 1 time a season
Matt 93
I do agree with that. But it is unrealistic that over the course of just 3 races Manor goes from a backmarker team to fighting for points every week. That would never happen and needs to be fixed....
please upload another one later, i'm f* loving this serie!!
Holy shit these uploads are faster than a Mercedes tag team leaving the rest of the field in their dust
I agree this is very realistic it feels like streaming your favorite show.
Exciting game play.
Q - Which F1 game between 2016 through 2021 do you think is best?
The VSC gives you a range to keep within so Ben got a penalty for going too slow. You can see the warning pops up again and disappears as he picks up speed.
That FP crash is similar to K-Mag at Spa. He took kerb, oversteered, and there was no room to correct.
I think the driver of the day thing is based on how good the team is and where a driver ends. For example a manor in the points and all the other teams at the place they should be.
Just drove my Chinese GP, time to watch and learn for the next race, I guess. Must say, this game looks absolutely stunning on ultra settings and 4K.
The AI is horrible, they need to fix it!!
Absolutly
AI still better than pastor maldonando
i think it's pre first day patch
why do the people go to your desk to sit there for 2 seconds?!?!?
+BigEarsGaming but F1 2013 was shit
There we go, now this is muuuuch more interesting with ultimate difficulty! ;)
great stuff man. would love to see you tackle these races at 100% though.
can you do a video, when you talk about your ideas and improvements that codemasters added to the game during beta testing, becuse i really would like to know :D
he means make a video on suggestions that Ben made during the beta phase
+GotchaNexus no he didn't
TheSw1ft MoHawk yes he did
TheSw1ft MoHawk also good job deleting ur comment so people dont see wt a bellend you are
+GotchaNexus I didn't
That first lap was crazy
19:47 The Blue Flag Man
What's this like with a controller ?
Keep going you are THE BEST
getting lapped in a manor very realidtic
another great race. can i ask do you add commentary post race with your decent mic or u using an xbox headset?
Mad respect for that finish. It seems like it does require a decent bit of luck though to get a resuult as good as this. So if it is going to be very luckdependant for the rest of the season to score points the road to glory will seem rocky and realistic, which imo it should.
epic vid bro
great video .... are there no longer sparks in the game like there was in the preview version ?
There's a glitch on F1 2016 that stops AI from overtaking under yellow flags even if the car in front is the one causing the yellow flag. That's why Pascal slowed behind Button and there were cars stopped on track when there was a VSC. Bottas had stopped on track and they didn't want to go past.
Tiametmarduk,you are racing driver.push like hell and smash perez
4:30 The assistant uses an Android phone. Looks like an HTC One crossed with a Galaxy
At 19:53 Vettel says,Blue flag,Blue flag!
i think that the Manor car has better straightline speed and engine power compared to the McLaren
19:02 Jenson is going so slow he's actually 20th out of 19 runners.
Also, spoiler alert: Rosberg crashes.
Anybody have any tips for the qualy lap and tyre wear tests? I can't do them very well. The track acclimatisation test is fine and I'm competitive in the rave
stick to the corners hugging the apex. that helped a lot for me
Same to me but on the tyre test
For tyre wear tests you might want to turn on the racing line aid. You do get worse wear if you go off the racing line. Otherwise make sure you are turning smoothly and also ensure you are not just stomping on your pedals.
Do u have any tips for driving without he guideline? I'd find that impossible right now
man i'm with manor too, toro rosso made a huge upgrade and are now the 3rd best team and my new rival is Perez too. only i had 8 points before Russia and crashed out because kimi didn't want me to finish the race
I'd like to see Codemasters implement a quick race option like on F1 Championship Edition so you can decide the grid. What I used to do was place them all in a realistic order but put drivers I liked ahead and drivers I didn't like lower down but still realistic. Plus Ben could do the backwards grid challenge like from F1CE
10 seasons will be done before F1 2017 comes out LOL
Ben do you think that code masters will update the games by switching out haryanto with ocon
No they won't because it would be too much work for them so they'll put him in the '17 game if he's still in F1 at that time
Has the Day 1 patch been released for this game?
I don't think so my game hasn't change Mercedes front wing yet
+NoPlaneNoGain thanks for the reply mate !
are upgrades visibly noticeable???
its nice watching someone do a Manor nine ben
Is there any way to view the speed trap data in the game? I know you can see it on the live tv feed screen but how do you see your speed trap data vs everyone else's?
Notification crew!!
ello
boohoo
The videos are coming out like hotcakes
Hi Ben will the car look different e.g. Front wing when upgraded will it look different when upgraded
I think that you can see differences. Wondering if there'll be a huge difference to the monkey seat in the next video
no they won´t
There's a glitch in F1 2016 which makes the AI refuse to overtake under yellow flags even if the car in front is stopped on the track or going slow. That's why Pascal didn't ass Button and there were cars stopped on the track because Bottas in front of them had broken down and stopped.
Hey, one question:
Is it worth buying F1 2016 for PC without a steering wheel (only Controller) or is it shit to play then?
How do you apply a laptop skin? I preordered the game but can't find were to get the skins on.
If you choose a limited edition helmet you get a laptop design
Had a similar safety car glitch on this circuit with the pace being set by the AI being too slow, 3 quarters of the field got drive throughs including me
Maybe its just me but i think the AI is just too slow, especially into turn 1 on most tracks on the first lap, you go straight up the inside and gain at least 5 - 6 places every time guaranteed
Much better on ultimate difficulty. Massive luck with the crash but 7 laps of not catching a car in a Manor is realistic if not completely entertaining. This career mode for me is about seeing you progress the car not get podiums in the first season.
I still can't get it with the use or the impact of differential. Can you tell me what it is and how does it work?
18:43
no no stay out
No In in in in in
I am Struggeling with the Tire Managment and the Qualifing Pace on the difficulty after hard, i just cant catch with the delta laps i dont know why and lower difficultys are feeling shite because your way to fast, im playing with a xbox controller on the pc
WANT MORE, WANT MORE BEN
MORE
driving in wet on wets is undriveable in this game and thats with only med traction control .BEN what traction control do you use ,if off then try full wet its totaly undriveable even full traction control is hard this needs to be fixed

I had nowhere to go and went straight up the back of him. Used a rewind which i hate doing. They really need to fix a few of these bugs. That warning you got for an illegal overtake on Massa was stupid too.
you got the penelty because of the speed of your delta time :)
can we play f1 2016 on ps4 using te dualshock 4 or is a gaming wheel required
I think the VSC problem was, that they give you the target laptime and as you were right infront of the finishing line and the lap was driven under normal pace you've been way below this time. But this would be kinda stupid.
Bottleberg strikes again
Ultimate finally!
tiametmarduk have you f1 2016 on the pst?
I'm not sure if Ben has the Ps4 version of the game
+Gamergage 25 he does
+NoPlaneNoGain oh ok I thought he only had the Ps4 copy's for the giveaway
Should I get this game as an average racing fan
c'mon, Ben, why not SuperSoft in the last stint? :(
Am I the only one who seems to suck at this game? I want to be realistic so I don't use any assists but I just seem to spin out so easily. And then when I don't spin I'm too cautios. Does anyobody have tips on how to get better? :D

Practise, you get used to dealing with the wheelspin
+O77IE Couldn't have said it better myself
Chassis and Downforce is the key to success
Great race. I've just ordered the F1 2016 Limited edition , can't wait to get stuck in :D Doing my own career mode on TH-cam in the 'banana' car as you guys call it ;)
how was that start crash not a safety car??
So this came up again after 8 years :D , lots have changed
intense race
