i like the fact that heavy rain now no longer equals full wet tyres etc, you actually have to look at the track conditions to see whats best and listen to jeff
For your R&D - you should always take the perks that increase your harvests and crafting supplies early. It pays off in the long run, and you're definitely playing the long game with McLaren.
Jay Calloway Does it really though? Yeah they have a shit engine supplier, however McLaren are one of the longest running and most successful teams in F1 and their engineers are certainly no mugs.
Wet tires don't seem to work on this game at Malaysia safety car came out just as heavy rain did so I gambled and for the whole 20 minutes period I was at least 2 sec off the pace
I like the fact that it is pouring rain, and yet no one has an umbrella, there are people in suits casually walking around, and the TV cameras are not covered up.
is there a reason you didnt run the car in max engine mode for quali? does it really destroy your engine that much, did you just forget or does the poor mchonda not have it? (god forbid a honda goes too quickly, might trigger a failsafe or something...)
I've noticed weather oddities too. I saw light to medium rain for first 15 minutes or so (after a wet quali), so I chose to start on inters. Turns out that everyone else on Ultrasofts in the "wet" conditions visible on screen, were performing vastly better than my intermediates. Very, very, very strange. Same problem, even if slightly different circumstances and different track.
The safety car actually will stay out for 3 laps unless it comes out near the end of the race, then it will come back in quickly to allow some time to run the end of the race.
I went to a hockey match that started an hour after start of Q1 and I would've made it back home to see the end of Q3 if I didn't go to get pizza on my way back.
Mate i know you must be hating on mclaren honda but it is making it such a realistic career and entertaining career to watch! Please dont leave them!!!!
Ben , never use wet tyres in this game, they are absolutely useless, even in heavy rain conditions inters are seconds faster!! This needs to be patched
Anyone know how I can save my engine better, I'm doing a haas career mode and my engine was orange/yellow after Bahrain, should I just buy the durability upgrades?
Guys, i believe quality control does not reduce failure chance as much as it saves points and failures. If you fail, you have to retry. If you fail quality control, you spend 1/2 the amount and it's guaranteed next time.
Guys can someone tell you if there is a way midway through a career you can turn the safety car on or do you have to finish that season and ten do it ???
Hi, great vids! Do you make your setup yourself and since I'm racing with McLaren myself is there a way you can share it with me/the rest of us? Would be greatly appreciated!
R&D is really ridiculous man. I perfect the practice Programmes 9/10 times and resource points are still nowhere near enough. I'm currently at Austria in my first season yet only have one proper upgrade in my car. Was supposed to get 2 at Austria but both failed. All THREE of the upgrades I tried have failed the first go around. I've gotten 1 point in quality control and resource discounts for Chassis and Powertrain. Meanwhile the Com teams are flying on their R&D
"I wanted to see if I could get a podium or a race win" 😂
I'll have whatever you're smoking Ben 🙈
Hahahaha great intro ben!

So sad at the beginning 😭
''you have to be alert on a street circuit'' 16:14
Cant stop laughing at Matt in the beginning of the video 😂
I really love this camera angle with the rain and all. Cheers Ben nice video, been subbed for a rather long time now!
Mclaren R&D is a joke
Which makes it realistic
Jay Calloway Does it really though? Yeah they have a shit engine supplier, however McLaren are one of the longest running and most successful teams in F1 and their engineers are certainly no mugs.
Mclaren are good, the Honda is the shit one
It may be kinda realistic, but it's just bullshit because you can't improve your car in comparision to the other cars...
Ben should just change team to better one, if he gets the chance.
Wet tires don't seem to work on this game at Malaysia safety car came out just as heavy rain did so I gambled and for the whole 20 minutes period I was at least 2 sec off the pace
Ben's Career Mode episode starts off on a negative note. Why am I not surprised? XD
I like the fact that it is pouring rain, and yet no one has an umbrella, there are people in suits casually walking around, and the TV cameras are not covered up.
Best Intro Ever! IGN 10/10
'Could be a wet one today' - yeah no shit crofty, it's raining on the screen
That vid of Matt at the start is amazing. I love it everytime I see it

.........and Stroll starts P2 tomorrow.
ZedBC and finishes in first…
I'd like to see stroll stuff his car in the first corner and hopefully take hamilton out too
Lance Stroll sigh
Lance Stroll take out hamilton
The safety car actually will stay out for 3 laps unless it comes out near the end of the race, then it will come back in quickly to allow some time to run the end of the race.
Ben is the worst when it comes to strategy call
Kimi: Come on get that mclaren out of the way! This guy is a fucking Joke!
I love the Torpedo joke with Kvyat, always makes me laugh! :D
"I feel like it's the wrong call" .... Ben you are the last guy who can judge a call :'D
The best, savage intro ever! Amazing Ben!
I love this series man and it's really enjoyable to watch you playing this game! Ty and great job!
That xMattyG intro though haha, as always, another great video you have here. Keep it up Ben, I'm a huge fan. :)
Alonso-Did we make it to Q1?
Race Engineer-No Fernando but try 3 times
The story of Mclaren Honda in 2017
Glad to see you taking risks, though. Makes this series very interesting!
THERE GOES OUR 3 UPGRADES IN A ROW
I went to a hockey match that started an hour after start of Q1 and I would've made it back home to see the end of Q3 if I didn't go to get pizza on my way back.
That Alonso face at the beginning... I just lost it.
Why not MAX engine mode in your second quali run?
Mate i know you must be hating on mclaren honda but it is making it such a realistic career and entertaining career to watch! Please dont leave them!!!!
Dude it said heavy rain for the first couple laps at the strategy menu.... Not nearly half the race.
I thought you have the MAX fuel setting for qualifying
R.i.p Honda engine upgrade.
Love the intro! work with other youtubers like that and include it in the races maybe haha!
Love the editing improvements
Your R&D progress is more than a meme now
6:00 The background is waaayyyyy too zoomed.The buildings aren't supposed to be this close.
2:27 The next race after Singapore is Malaysia, not Japan.
What I learn from watching Ben play this game is to not do what he does. XD
Not even ten seconds in and I'm already laughing in a slight disbelief
Please change the Quali to normal again
There is a symbol for even heavier rain, a cloud with 3 stripes (kinda like adidas lol) maybe the wet tyre is only for that kind of rain?
Ben , never use wet tyres in this game, they are absolutely useless, even in heavy rain conditions inters are seconds faster!! This needs to be patched
Rizan Gabriel exactly. How can wet tires be useless in heavy rain, these little things are why I don't like codemasters
The game has so many bugs and glitches atm.
OMG THAT INTRO!!!!
When you upgrade the engine maybe the little thing first to have a grip in the big upgrade
Is there a new "MAX" fuel option? I spotted it on free practice.
Loved the intro scene ben!!
Hi Ben I have the dlc but I can't drive the mcleran MP4/4 which has made me really sad and really annoyed
Does Aarav play on an easier difficulty? Could that explain why his upgrades dont fail?
Is it possible to save up the RD points for the following seasons ?
Can somebody help me. I started a career, but the safety car is turned off. How do I turn it on??
Doesn't matter whatever you do with the r n d tree with the qc and that just have to work with it
Anyone know how I can save my engine better, I'm doing a haas career mode and my engine was orange/yellow after Bahrain, should I just buy the durability upgrades?
Congrats Ben you got fastest lap in a mclaren honda
I just keep watching the first 30 seconds over and over again.... its too good
Can someone tell me which video that is from.

McLaren Odds:
Championship-Hell freezes over
Win-Never
Podium-1 in a million
Good ol' Matthew
so bassicly when you start of in the trailer, the development failed, and when you start out side, it's ready?
I'm driving for Renault, and I've had 3 out of 4 upgrades fail so far, and rain, so much rain.
Once I saw the first second of the video I knew Matt will appear
Just noticed in your quali run you had mix 3 don't you have a mix 4?
Tom & Rachelles First Dance theres only lean standard and rich
TheWildBranco there isn't in quali there is a max mode try it
I got an drive though pen under saftey car. Bottas was just going too fast and got away from me... Awesome P5 with a haas gone into a Decent p8
Why are you not using the max fuel mix in quali?
PLEASE, which xmattyg video is that at the start?
Ben, did you forget that the weather is now much harder to read precisely than in 2016?
Starting on full wets... that was clever.
How do you have so many power units? I have only four....
LANCE STROLL CAN ACTUALLY WIN TOMMOROW
LET'S GO 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇧🇪🇧🇪
Michal Pavlu Fucking crybaby Vettel did it, Lance can too!
Michal Pavlu Yes I can. I will take Hamilton at the start and defend like hell
Don't forget Ocon just yet...
ThatSideWaysDude XD I created a meme in the middle of a lesson when Stroll got podium at baku
Lance Stroll remember Bottas at Canada 2013? Qualified in 3rd, finished in 11th
Don't take a risk in the rain at a track that doesn't rely at all on engine power. The car was good enough by itself to get points in that race.
How long your commentating takes? Are you record videos and commentate same day?
It was the right choice to gamble on the wer tyre, I mean they are there to be used on heavy rain, you get cheesed from the game I think
Ale Vic yes they are meant for heavy rain but the track is labeled for damp not wet so you want to use inters
Can you do noobs get around a track cause I really liked it and I would like to join you on xbox
Why are u not running max for fuel in qualifying
Are you going to make another formula one setup video
Ben bottled it before the race had started ffs
Why weren't you running MAX mix in qualy?
Gotta gamble if your car isn't competitive.
Im at Brazil in my career mode and I have never upgraded the quality control and I have only had 1 part fail
Drinking game: Take a shot every time he says "Grand prix"
I had the fail on the same part as you even with 3 upgrades to the failrate tree.
Drink everytime Ben says outrageous! Great drinking game! :D
Hello. I dont know how to do the fuel saving. Can someone help me
So Matt just realized how well your career is going...
That intro is perfection haha
Hi, great vids! Do you make your setup yourself and since I'm racing with McLaren myself is there a way you can share it with me/the rest of us? Would be greatly appreciated!
Loved that intro!
where did the azebeidjan grand prix go?
The safety car can actually go back to the pits if the last cars are still too far from it.
With the development parts, there's got to be a systematic way that would ensure the success maybe? Unless it's just down to the team..
It's like they mugging us off with this "Mclaren Honda" career mode. I swear you've spent more points fixing the parts than upgrading them aha.
Ben on your fastest Q3 lap you didn't put ur engine mix on max could have gained you 0.1 or 0.2 sec
could you change team at the end of seson
The wait for Monza's quali was worth it though
Aarav isn't at mclaren Honda. So he's upgrades won't fail
ben i'm sure you sped into the pit lane?
