Ben I don't know why you have turned the Traction Control off all of a sudden, that's why you are struggling with Traction & why you had that crash on Lap 1, cars are meant to have Traction Control on in this game like they did in 2006
Could you do like a Michael Schumacher career mode? I mean like, go into championship season on this game with Schumacher, retire after that season, then carry on into the 2010s for his return.
Schumi was winning the race and would be on front for the last race, in Brazil. With that engine failure he dropped to second and was 9 points behind Alonso. It pratically ruined his title chances so yes, it was a big thing :)
Schumacher was leading the championship for the first time that season on countback coming into this race, having announced his retirement at Monza, and had the engine failiure whilst leading. Alonso won, which meant that in Brazil Schumacher would have had to have won with Alonso failing to score. A fantastic end to one of the greatest seasons in the modern era.
+Platfoot Schumacher got a puncture in the first few laps in Brazil when he tried to pass Fisichella, dropped to last and then had an amazing race and finished in 4th.
+BlueAxeRacer It's too bad that the engine failed at the second to last race after having been free of engine problems for over five years...imagine what may have happened in Brazil...
I like how they have test driver in this game and how you can be a team's test driver and then possibly earn a drive, it's much more realistic that way. Also I like how they keep the driver you replaced as a test driver so you've constantly got the worry that they might take your place, or when you leave you'll know why they've come back. Codemasters need to put this in F1 2016, among other things.
Japan 2006: Championship standings before race- Michael Schumacher 116points (7wins); Fernando Alonso 116points (5wins) Michael leading race then his engine blew up before degner 1 & stopped after D2. Alonso who was second took the lead & won the race leaving him needing 1point from Brazil. Brazil results- Alonso finished 2nd (8oints & Drivers title) Schumacher P4 (5points & a Trophy from Pele before race). Final standings: Alonso 134 points; Schumacher 121 points.
the 2006 Japanese was about the second best race in F1 in the mid to late 2000s. Schumacher had the point lead, needed to win at Japan to be champion by just a few points. Coming into the crossover, the engine gave up, and so did the hopes at an 8th championship. That race, that heartbreaking moment as smoke billowed from the back of the car and slowly stopped, made many realize time from Monza and the announcement, to the last race. was just a few days away. It was time to say "Goodbye" to the legend
You're right, this was the famous incident in 2006. With two races to go Schumacher and Alonso had 116 points each. After overtaking Massa at the start Schumacher had the Japanese Grand Prix in the bag, but a slow puncture for Massa and Schumacher's engine failure gifted the race to Alonso.
In regards to Schumacher's engine failure in 2006, it was significant as he and Alonso were level on points before that race. Alonso won in Japan as a result and had a 10 point lead heading into the season finale at Interlagos over Schumacher.
The AI tend to divebomb if they're close behind you, so if you know they are there, try to get the hell out out of their way or brake later too, it's what you have to do sometimes to avoid them crashing into you. Keep Traction Control on 3 or maybe 2, but never at 1, same for brakes, it will keep your tyre wear down and make the car more stable in general. You need to change your gear ratios a lot more than you do, bouncing off the Rev limiter on so many straights is losing you heaps of time. Also a trick in this game to shave off some time, was to always accelerate from 4th gear, surprised no one has told you this yet. It really makes a difference basically never going below 4th gear for any corner.
You should really start watching some season highlights from the 90s and the 2000s, as they had really intense racing :) Concerning the Japanese GP 2006: Schumacher was equal on points with Alonso coming to this race, but he was leading because he has won one race more than Alonso (7 to 6).He was then comfortably leading the race after his and Alonso's final pitstops and on lap 37 his engine blew up (which was funnily enough his first engine failure since the French GP in 2000). Meaning that Alonso had a 10 points lead for the final race, but would have been beaten if Schumacher was to win with Alonso not scoring points. So yeah, it was a big thing :D
Yes, it was this race in 2006 that Schumacher had the engine failure. He was like tied with Alonso on points, and he was 1st and Alonso 2nd on the race, so when MSC retired, Alonso had a 10 point lead over him with one race to go, and he ended up winning the championship by 13 points.
Basically regarding the Schumacher retirement issue. It was at this race, he was leading the race I believe and the championship because Alonso had retired from Monza which Schumacher won, the previous race. After making his pits stop Schumacher's engine started to smoke and eventually retired at the end of degna 2. Which handed the lead of the championship back to Alonso.
Schumacher and Alonso were on equal points with 2 rounds left, and Schumacher engine blew up with 16 laps left to give Alonso the win, and him being 10 points in front with 1 round remaining.
Schumacher and Alonso went to Japan with the same number of points 116, Schumacher was leading the race, Alonso was 2º and Schumacher had that engine failure, and i think Schumacher didn´t have an engine failure since the 2000 French GP so it was a big thing haha
Yes, Schumi had the engine failure at this race in 2006. They were even on points coming into this race with Alonso. Schumi was leading the race comfortably but then the engine failed some 20 laps before the finish and Alonso went on to win the race and almost secure the drivers champs. It was his first engine failure in many years and I remember how dissapointed I was back then..
to answer your question, yes, Schumacher did have an engine failure at suzuka, which he was on his way to win and close the gap to Alonso. had he won in Japan, he wouldn't have needed so many points to make up in Brazil.
Ben in 2006 Alonso & Schumacher were tied on points going into Japanese grand prix and Schumacher had an engine false in what would have been a win but because Alonso was able to he had no chance at the title in Brazil
The engine failure in Japan 2006 for Schumacher was pitviotal since he was in front of Alonso at that stage in the race... had Schumacher finished that race it would have gone down the wire in Brazil, but since Schumacher's car broke down that increased Alonso's lead to 10 points, meaning he basically won the championship at that point...
The Schumacher's engine failure was at Suzuka in 2006. He was winning the race and that meant that he was 4 points ahead of Alonso coming to the last round. Although, his engine died (the first time in at least 5 years), Alonso won the race and then the championship. * Sorry for any grammar mistake, i'm from Spain
In 2006 Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso were tied on 116 points each going to the final 2 rounds. Alonso won the race thus taking a 10 point lead into the final round in Brazil. Schumacher retired on the 37th lap of the race meaning that Alonso needed just 1 point to guarantee a 2nd title in Brazil. What is significant is the fact that this was the first engine failure for Schumi since the French GP 2000 so over 6 years without an engine failure and then KABOOM!
"I'm gonna talk less so I can race better" >bins it not even halfway through the first lap and still keeps talking You're either in the door or out mate
You'd be a hard driver for a team to judge. Very fast at times (wins at Monaco and Hungary) but a tad inconsistent and a bit mistake-prone. Overall though, putting an STR on P6 in 2006 is a great result.
Yeah the 2006 Japanese Grand Prix has Schumi leading comfortably after Massa seeded the lead to him early in the event. Had he won that, he would have been in cruise control in Brazil en route to the championship. With the rare engine failure though it meant that Alonso won and the gap was 10 points going to Brazil; in other words he had virtually no hope! Just like the Codemasters game your engineer stays the same your whole career. I agree it would be cool to have a new engineer in each team you drive for, even having th real life engineers would be a bit of a hoot. Would love to see you start at the back of the grid in Brazil Ben! Nothing like a challenge mate.
As bad as your driving is mate, I weirdly enjoy your videos. (Biggest compliment you'll get from me) Anyway glad to see you're doing well. Much love and all that x
yes it was ben, michael and alonso were tied on points and because of that engine failure alonso won the race and got a 10 points advantage for brasil, and he won the title.
Yeh Schumi engine failure was in the closing stages at the degners, Alonso took the win and a big step to the championship. France 2000 was Schumacher's last engine failure til then.
+David Wood He had had a mechanical retirement in 2005. Prior to that he had had one in Germany in 2001. It was his first engine failure though since the 2000 French Grand Prix.
schumacher indeed had that engine failure in japan in 2006 and he eas leading the race with about 10 laps to go before his engine blew up. If he had won that race he was in a big chance if winning his 8th world championship.
8 років тому+1
Don't start from last place but try to win another race with the Torro Rosso. Also, don't start a new career with a harder difficulty setting. I like to see you win, or at least having a chance doing so.
yeah, Schumi would've gone into huge lead in points with the win. With the engine failure and Alonso winning it went other way around and Fernando got his second title.
yep he was leading the race when he ended up having to retire (cant remember why) and it flipped the championship meaning he had to win the last race in Brazil while Alonso would have to not score any points.
In 2006 after the chinese GP alonso and Schumi were equal at points, at Japan who won the race was in front at the championship and schumi was leading that race and then his engine blow up ( first time in a long time( and with that his options of winning the champions cos alonso won that race and was 10pt ahead, so Michael need a miracle at Brazil
You should do longer races, about 50% next season, start from the back, and drive Michael's car, and with this I am totally for the idea of M marlow (another comment here)
If you don't sign the renewal, once you enter season 2 you'll have some adverts and trials with different teams, you never know which teams will be... Renault, Ferrari, Williams, Midland... Impossible to know! ;)
+RAYNERPS3235 No Schumacher and Alonso were even on points going into Japan, but Schumacher was officially ahead. With the win in Japan, Schumacher would have been two points ahead of Alonso. So yes, Schumacher would have been favourite. With how things ended off in Brazil, Alonso would have won by a single point. Had Schumacher not had the puncture in Brazil, he would likely have been on the podium, and would have been able to win the championship, even if they had been equal on points.
Schumacher had an engine failure at this race, his second last race in his first F1 stint. And as a result it effectively gave Alonso the championship, as he was 10 points ahead going into the final race.
Heading into Japan, Alonso and Schumacher were level on points. Massa started on pole but by Lap 3 Schumacher took the lead. Schumacher led for the next 33 laps before having an engine failure. Alonso went on to win the race and Schumacher, being 10 points behind with 1 race to go, had admitted defeat and said Alonso had the Drivers Championship won.
In the 2006 japanese GP Schumacher had the engine failure, without that, he would have been 1st for the last race (if I remember well he was actually first), but that ruined is very big chance to have the 8th world championship. In the last race, he had still the possibility to win the championship, but in extreme cases (even more than 2007 last race).
+MrMikpik Had he finished first in Japan, he wouldn't have needed extreme circumstances to win the title. With Alonso second in Brazil, he would just have needed to finish in third, and it would have been enough. He would have had a good chance of doing that if not for the puncture.
I wasn't sure of you were talking about the way it actually ended up being or the way it COULD have been had he won the race in Japan, LOL. Nonetheless, it would have been relatively easy had he not had the engine failure..
+RAYNERPS3235 But Alonso would have scored 8 points instead of 10 so by your calculations they would have had the same amount of points if schumi had won and then shumi would have the championship because he got more wins then Alonso. But in the end it wouldn't have made a difference because the gap at the end of the season was 13 points instead of 12. It could have been different if schumi had won in Suzuka and hadn't have that problem with the fuel pump in qualifying and in the race because then he probably could have passed Button for 3th and have won the championship even with the puncture. But in the end it is what the say. Ifs doesn't count in racing.
Yes this race with Schumis Engine Failure. As a german and growing up wizh Schumi it was horrible. If he had won this race, he would have had the chance in Brazil to win the Championchip. Thank you for reminding me this way :'( :D
Don't force out season 2. We've watched enough of this for now and it'd start to get boring if you literally choke out content on this specific game. PS PLEASE get a new wheel for this game, the handling model is so much nicer and better to watch than this jerky driving.
i find it hilarious all the people saying 'oh get a wheel why aren't you using a wheel' when a. he doesn't have a wheel for the game and b. it's probably not even compatible cause it's PS2
I've got to feel you are a scripting guru Ben. With all your f1 experience surely you must know the A.i on lower difficulty have to be slower/breaking earlier/bad.
"We have smashed through this season incredibly quickly"
Quite literally with all the retirements and double race episodes :D
Ben I don't know why you have turned the Traction Control off all of a sudden, that's why you are struggling with Traction & why you had that crash on Lap 1, cars are meant to have Traction Control on in this game like they did in 2006
he turned it to the lowest, so it's not completely off.
+Harry Verolme (TPT) You cant turn it off, its always on.
Could you do like a Michael Schumacher career mode? I mean like, go into championship season on this game with Schumacher, retire after that season, then carry on into the 2010s for his return.
This is a sick idea
yeah you can
+M marlow and whats the point ? the only difference is that his name will be schumacher not daly
GIVE LYNDEN SHOUTOUTS MICHAEL
Shoutout to Lynden, most competitive FCC team going.
Schumi was winning the race and would be on front for the last race, in Brazil. With that engine failure he dropped to second and was 9 points behind Alonso. It pratically ruined his title chances so yes, it was a big thing :)
+jp27fcp My heart broke when I saw the smoke. That engine failure devastated me.
+Morgotth Me too. I so wanted Schuey to win championship number 8...
+jp27fcp me too, i almost cry when Schumi got the DNF. it was at that moment he lost the championship. very, very sad
+Iam Ilias Damn, I was talking from memory, I didn't check xD It was just a point, not that bad xD
+jp27fcp don't forget that alonso had an engine failure in the previous race at monza
F1 2006 Championship edition, the only game were ben has good starts. #PadHacks
Welcome to the Japanese Grand Prick, we got a prick in pole and a prick in 8th on prick tyres
The XmattyG words of wisdom 😂
+Brian Glennon That was actually Malaysia, but still a good moment from the youtuber championship
Schumacher was leading the championship for the first time that season on countback coming into this race, having announced his retirement at Monza, and had the engine failiure whilst leading. Alonso won, which meant that in Brazil Schumacher would have had to have won with Alonso failing to score. A fantastic end to one of the greatest seasons in the modern era.
Very agree, brilliant season!
I think it was a good season but not the greatest.
+Platfoot Schumacher got a puncture in the first few laps in Brazil when he tried to pass Fisichella, dropped to last and then had an amazing race and finished in 4th.
+BlueAxeRacer It's too bad that the engine failed at the second to last race after having been free of engine problems for over five years...imagine what may have happened in Brazil...
RIP DiRT Rally lets play
"I will talk less" ... keeps talking
I like how they have test driver in this game and how you can be a team's test driver and then possibly earn a drive, it's much more realistic that way.
Also I like how they keep the driver you replaced as a test driver so you've constantly got the worry that they might take your place, or when you leave you'll know why they've come back. Codemasters need to put this in F1 2016, among other things.
Why is this game so much better than the newer ones? The presentation, the gameplay, everything.

Don't start last. Try and have a normal race.
You get the same engineer. I love this career please continue this forever
I'd love to see a rookie season again on the harder difficulties, very much enjoying this gameplay and commentary 👍🏻
If you would do 100 more seasons I would watch all of them! I really love this game and its cool to see you play it :D
Schumacher and Alonso were on equal points with 2 rounds left, and Schumacher engine blew up with 16 laps left to give Alonso the win, and him being 10 points in front with 1 round remaining.
In quick race , you can customize the grid! I think a video of an opposite starting grid race could be interesting.

Ben I just realised that when you take your time on the formation lap(Monaco and Hungary), you always go on and win the race
Don't start at the back, it might hinder who you can sign for at the end of the season if you get another bad result.
Schumacher and Alonso went to Japan with the same number of points 116, Schumacher was leading the race, Alonso was 2º and Schumacher had that engine failure, and i think Schumacher didn´t have an engine failure since the 2000 French GP so it was a big thing haha

You're either in the door or out mate
Why have you turned tc and abs off, in 2006 the cars relied on tc
Oh Felipe, don't ever change.
You'd be a hard driver for a team to judge. Very fast at times (wins at Monaco and Hungary) but a tad inconsistent and a bit mistake-prone. Overall though, putting an STR on P6 in 2006 is a great result.
Yeah the 2006 Japanese Grand Prix has Schumi leading comfortably after Massa seeded the lead to him early in the event. Had he won that, he would have been in cruise control in Brazil en route to the championship. With the rare engine failure though it meant that Alonso won and the gap was 10 points going to Brazil; in other words he had virtually no hope!

Yes this was the race that schumacher out wit engine faillure under the bridge there
Yeah Schumi had that engine failure when he was leading the race and also the championship. As a Ferrari fan it was so painful to watch...
Awesome stuff with the video Tiametmarduk when you do season 2 you might go for Renault or red bull or Ferrari when you get the chance.
yes it was ben, michael and alonso were tied on points and because of that engine failure alonso won the race and got a 10 points advantage for brasil, and he won the title.
Yeh Schumi engine failure was in the closing stages at the degners, Alonso took the win and a big step to the championship. France 2000 was Schumacher's last engine failure til then.
yes, schumacher retired due to an engine failure allowing alonso to win and go 10 points in front. They were level on points going into suzuka
it was also his first mechanical retirement since 2002
+David Wood He had had a mechanical retirement in 2005. Prior to that he had had one in Germany in 2001. It was his first engine failure though since the 2000 French Grand Prix.
Qualify, make it to Q3, burn fuel for 12 minutes, return to garage for new tyres, and get back out.
schumacher indeed had that engine failure in japan in 2006 and he eas leading the race with about 10 laps to go before his engine blew up. If he had won that race he was in a big chance if winning his 8th world championship.
Don't start from last place but try to win another race with the Torro Rosso.
Also, don't start a new career with a harder difficulty setting. I like to see you win, or at least having a chance doing so.
yeah, this was the race and season where the engine failure killed schumacher's chances for his 8th world title
yeah, Schumi would've gone into huge lead in points with the win. With the engine failure and Alonso winning it went other way around and Fernando got his second title.
Great video ben, as usual, what do you think about Verstappen's first win?
yeah it was 2006 he had still good chances to win his 8th title and was shocked like never before when I saw schumachers car smoking
Scuderia Toro Rosso is itself an Italian team
Yes it was this race when Schumacher had an engine failure
2006 with around 18 laps left his engine went as it overhheated in his pot stop
The problem with the cars braking so early is fixed with a harder dufficulty.
yep he was leading the race when he ended up having to retire (cant remember why) and it flipped the championship meaning he had to win the last race in Brazil while Alonso would have to not score any points.
In 2006 after the chinese GP alonso and Schumi were equal at points, at Japan who won the race was in front at the championship and schumi was leading that race and then his engine blow up ( first time in a long time( and with that his options of winning the champions cos alonso won that race and was 10pt ahead, so Michael need a miracle at Brazil
You should do longer races, about 50% next season, start from the back, and drive Michael's car, and with this I am totally for the idea of M marlow (another comment here)

schumi doing a rosberg move.
Schumacher's engine did blow up in that race, yes.
Schumacher was dominating the Japanese GP in 2006 until that engine failure. If he had won he would have been the favourite to win the Championship
+RAYNERPS3235 No Schumacher and Alonso were even on points going into Japan, but Schumacher was officially ahead. With the win in Japan, Schumacher would have been two points ahead of Alonso.

+Anthony Iuculano exactly
Schumacher had an engine failure at this race, his second last race in his first F1 stint. And as a result it effectively gave Alonso the championship, as he was 10 points ahead going into the final race.
don't start from last ben. go for the win. go qualify if u get high enough go for the win
it was the race with the schumi engine failure i was so sad back in the days :(
yea, in fact schumacher had engine failure the last two rounds of 2006 season if im not wrong.
+Juan Navarrete Nope, he got a puncture Brazil from Fisichella but fought he way back up to 4th.
The only way you can get a different engineer is to change the language on your PS3. You should try it
Does anyone know why there is a red needle as well as a white needle on the rev counter?
Heading into Japan, Alonso and Schumacher were level on points. Massa started on pole but by Lap 3 Schumacher took the lead. Schumacher led for the next 33 laps before having an engine failure. Alonso went on to win the race and Schumacher, being 10 points behind with 1 race to go, had admitted defeat and said Alonso had the Drivers Championship won.
+Cx-TrickshoT All true except for Schumacher admitting defeat. That's one thing he would NEVER do.
In the 2006 japanese GP Schumacher had the engine failure, without that, he would have been 1st for the last race (if I remember well he was actually first), but that ruined is very big chance to have the 8th world championship. In the last race, he had still the possibility to win the championship, but in extreme cases (even more than 2007 last race).
+MrMikpik Had he finished first in Japan, he wouldn't have needed extreme circumstances to win the title. With Alonso second in Brazil, he would just have needed to finish in third, and it would have been enough. He would have had a good chance of doing that if not for the puncture.
Anthony Iuculano that's what I said... extreme circumstances needed when he retired.
I wasn't sure of you were talking about the way it actually ended up being or the way it COULD have been had he won the race in Japan, LOL. Nonetheless, it would have been relatively easy had he not had the engine failure..
Anthony Iuculano yep, so sad for me at the time when it had the failure.
You should buy an old Logitech G25/G27, they're relatively cheap now, and the handling in this game is quite nice with a wheel.
Yes Schumacher did have an engine failure in sazuka 2006

3:00 Was that a reference to 1989?
It's race time. It's the Hopanese Hong Pii.
cheeky turning on the TC and ABS half way through the race #BenExposed
that painful engine failure made Michael Schumacher lose that championship in 2006
yes, Schumi's engine failure was 2006 here in Japan. he lost the championship with that failure because he was leading the race til engine sucks.
+RAYNERPS3235 But Alonso would have scored 8 points instead of 10 so by your calculations they would have had the same amount of points if schumi had won and then shumi would have the championship because he got more wins then Alonso. But in the end it wouldn't have made a difference because the gap at the end of the season was 13 points instead of 12.
It could have been different if schumi had won in Suzuka and hadn't have that problem with the fuel pump in qualifying and in the race because then he probably could have passed Button for 3th and have won the championship even with the puncture.
But in the end it is what the say. Ifs doesn't count in racing.
start from the back

Yes this race with Schumis Engine Failure. As a german and growing up wizh Schumi it was horrible. If he had won this race, he would have had the chance in Brazil to win the Championchip. Thank you for reminding me this way :'( :D
Don't force out season 2. We've watched enough of this for now and it'd start to get boring if you literally choke out content on this specific game.
PS PLEASE get a new wheel for this game, the handling model is so much nicer and better to watch than this jerky driving.
We need more of this
+Count Fisco the wheel isn't compatible doofus
+Count Fisco also we love this game
What u chatting? This game will never get boring
i find it hilarious all the people saying 'oh get a wheel why aren't you using a wheel' when a. he doesn't have a wheel for the game and b. it's probably not even compatible cause it's PS2
START FROM THE BACK!!!!!
Ben are you going to Ipswich V8s this year? If so what day
+The Haydo u don't mean ipswich uk right? cause if u do he's halfway across the world.
+Thomas The Racer no he is talking about the v8 supercars in Australia
+Thomas The Racer He means V8 Supercars in Australia, not BriscaF1
Michael Dyson thought not lol
how do you restart a race on this game?
Can you qualify to make it more realistic
Wait till the interseason. you'll have many offers or test offers like at the start of season 1. dont worry ^^
Funnily enough, when I saw Massa range up on your arse I knew what was going to happen. Hard luck mate. Don't start from last for Brazil please.
I've got to feel you are a scripting guru Ben. With all your f1 experience surely you must know the A.i on lower difficulty have to be slower/breaking earlier/bad.
have qualifying for the last race
Try next season in the Honda or McLaren at a higher difficulty and possibly longer races?
