Yo Ben, I'm using mclaren for career mode too, I'm not experiencing as much rear traction loss as you because my car feels very good in the rear. I use a wheel no assists. Keep your rear anti roll bar under 4 and your rear toe under 0.29. Also, don't make your spring stiffness too stiff, keep it under 7 front and under 5 rear. Or just a default 4-4.
You can improve your rear tyre wear and acceleration off slow corners by short shifting to kill excess wheelspin. This is an important technique especially in f1 2014 as the V6 turbos have flat power curves unlike the V8s so shortshifting helps to kill rear wheelspin by dropping the revs with only a small of drop in power. Doing this will massively help you in the races and especially in the wet. In real life the Williams drivers sometimes shortshifted twice quickly (due to short gear ratios) to reduce wheelspin in wet conditions and you should also consider that the fuel flow rate increases with revs until 10,500 rpm so short-shifting once above 10,500 rpm has a reduced penalty compared to the V8 era.
Hello Tiametmarduk, I am Brazilian and I really like your videos, I hope one day have a fluent English and play a game F1 with you =D (Sorry for my bad English rsrs)
Tiametmarduk , sometimes you wonder what the guys back at base are thinking, huh? It's almost like they're saying "Oh, your tyre wear was actually better than anticipated!"
I know you're experienced and know this already, but I think you may not be realizing it for whatever the reason. You should shift in the straights a little sooner. I know the "Beeps" are at 12Krpm and the rev limit is 15K, but if you notice, your speed during acceleration in the straights is suffering. It has a slowing down period for about 3/4 /sec as you shift up. I watched the vid on fuel and tyres from long ago on yours and others, but I think you might be stretching the gears. Try around 13,800 to 14K rather then waiting to that fraction before the limiter and see if your times improve. Great Vid!!
Tiametmarduk Thanks for your great content there =) I drive the McLaren too, first career season on F1 2014. Leading the drivers championship, constructors on fourth place. Obviously not on legend AI. Drving on professional AI. o_o The thing i wanna ask, what should i do? On professional i most likely win the races 5 seconds ahead or more, Abu Dhabi i won with around 32 seconds lead on Vettel, but on expert AI i`m like 2-8 seconds behind, espiecally in the rain. What should i do? Stick to professional or train myself to expert level? And can you recommend a mod for better textures on the tracks, billboards, garages and stuff? Already using the most recommended tyre mod from Race Department, and DHD textures for all the cars. Thanks in advance mate =)
You're getting some pretty extreme understeer, maybe use a little more front wing? Or are you purposely dumbing down your car for more interesting racing?
Remember Codemasters said they had put different personalities for the drivers well I think they need to re-think that because I did a race at Monaco and Chilton won?!
Dude,it's a AI that is being an asshole themselves,braking early,not making much overtakes!He's just trying to go on the racing line and even if he let the AI pass him,the AI will (most likely) go slow on the next corner,making Ben overtake them again...
Ben's favourite quote: "Ever so slightly!"
they are very close behind

Great video like always!!! Keep up the good work.
Held up 5 cars. Awesome driving

(Sorry for my bad English rsrs)
The reason maybe is because I've noticed the AI get more traction in the rain then I do, and Nico's time was ridiculous Tiametmarduk
NICE PHOTO FINISH
Excellent video and later on in the season will you change from 2014 drivers into 2015 drivers
Tiametmarduk , sometimes you wonder what the guys back at base are thinking, huh? It's almost like they're saying "Oh, your tyre wear was actually better than anticipated!"
I'm a bit worried to see what bad tyre wear looks like to those guys..
2013 British Grand Prix, perhaps? :))
Tiametmarduk change your team PLSSSS!!! The McLaren is not so good for a race .
yeah its like watching die hard and then saying it was exciting thinking "Im gonna go outside and blow up a heli with a stick
you stayed with the fictionnal 2015 ferrari ben ;)
Daly , thinking about live streaming F1 career mode?
Good video Ben!
Tyre wear looks good had the same thing
Ben is the sexiest youtuber ever? amirite?
With what software do you edit your videos? (Srry for my bad english)

LOL...Sometimes I think the rants are better then the races on here.
Tiametmarduk with what software do you edit your videos?
Nice vid man
I've noticed the Ferrari Vettel skin is still there. Like Alonso has number 5.
Hey Ben Great race !! But could you install HD tyres mod please ? I love this mod !!
Hey ben when do you stream on twitch
Use the actual McLaren skin from the F1 2014 season, with all the better sponsors and all! :D
What's the best way to conserve fuel on this game, Ben or anyone for recommendations? It would be great!
Tiametmarduk Thanks for your great content there =)

1: If professional is too easy then go for it.
2:I would recommed mods to download.
I should go for Expert AI :)
There setup: Codefailures traction control and stability aids >.>
When you're playing, how long does it take you to bet through the practice round, qualifying, and the actual race?
Ummm like at least 2 hours
Soundtrack name used at 0:35?
No Magyar Nagydij-ing?
Hey Ben, what is the scheduled time you upload you videos?
Whenever I feel like it really, I guess the 'window' of time where I upload would usually be from now until about 4-5 hours from now at the latest.
OMG if you would lose the p6 on the line I would unsub
I'm finishing P7 next race just for you ;)
Tiametmarduk LOL dont get me wrong I am not a hater
Did you chuck on the Shine fix to the McLaren mod?
What do you mean? I turned up the reflections now in the Graphics Settings xD
Tiametmarduk I was just wondering if you installed the mod that I sent you on Twitter. It looks better though even if you didn't
***** Sorry man I must have missed it, my twitter notifications are a jungle at the best of times haha, ok sweet, good to hear
Tiametmarduk I mean, you replied haha.. Im the guy who made your helmet btw just if you didn't realise :P
You're getting some pretty extreme understeer, maybe use a little more front wing? Or are you purposely dumbing down your car for more interesting racing?
Could you do f1 2014 livestreaming on twitch? Nobody does that so it would be cool! And if you do it, tell it in next video or something? :)
How do u get the realistic damage on PS3
Haha Ben what happened to your voice at 11:18 haha
11:18 what was that Ben?
Man... I wish Sebastian Vettel actually won at least one race last season...
Me too...
good video ilove you videos and i like it all
Do u use Xbox or ps4
why is alonso's car #5
I love McLaren-Merc but I think you should move to red bull or force India if they offer you.
It's your decision though :)
Tiametmarduk Did you forget to remove 2015 fictional Ferrari Layout ? Alonso was only Red & Black :)
PARK THE BUS! #sodone
ben jeson came 11th because u had a massive train behind u and he was last in the end of it
Remember Codemasters said they had put different personalities for the drivers well I think they need to re-think that because I did a race at Monaco and Chilton won?!
Lel
Where did you get the name Tiametmarduk from?
he just hit his head against the keyboard, and the result was "Tiametmarduk"
Magnus Okkenhaug Magnus knows :)
Tiametmarduk You must have a very wide forehead.
It means I'm a hacker in latvian
I believe there's a Gods or something called Tiamat and Marduk
do you playing on pc?
Shift early not so late
R U SERIUS ( tyre were issues look good after malisia)
So it's not only me who feels that the AI drive way too fast for wet/intermediate conditions... :/
i got f1 2014 for christmast yeah.
Not watched yet but 100% rain amirite? 2014 tends to do that.
Well Q3 at least :D I've had at least some rain in all of my 2014 malaysian races.
How about a 60k
how the hell is Ricciardo doing 1:40 fast lap with worn tyres? something is broken with this game.
Or maybe he just changes his tyres
Why has Fernandos car got 5 on it
for his last video with Vettel in a Ferrari
FiveStar Heaven Thanks I didn't see his last video
drive one season for williams
Hey next season do whith redbull!!!!!
ben just concentrate
7:00 am for a TH-cam video

What does that have to do with watching youtube videos? I do have a girlfriend by the way.
Please go too Mercedes
FINALLY
Yussssss!!!
It's better than you change team to MERCEDES, FORCEINDIA,WILLIAMS,...
I have made Australia and Malaysia f1 races on james seager TH-cam channel if you want to watch them
Damn that McLaren is ugly.
incredible workout horrible race
Lel
Mclaren just sucks. Almost everybody now are better than them...
How many likes can this get?
Stop block peolpe and race properly it will be entertaining to watch
I didn't 'block' anyone.
Tiametmarduk You did ever time the Ai tried to over you you block them stop parking the bus
Dude,it's a AI that is being an asshole themselves,braking early,not making much overtakes!He's just trying to go on the racing line and even if he let the AI pass him,the AI will (most likely) go slow on the next corner,making Ben overtake them again...
Ojo omong ae
First
Mr RoyalGard You can't do math lol, more minutes means longer ago FACEPALM*****
You're 2nd dude, Ben is always first :P
Damn
