F1 2006 Career Mode Part 14: Japanese Grand Prix

[@JasonWMorningwood]

"We have smashed through this season incredibly quickly" Quite literally with all the retirements and double race episodes :D

[@5tuartGuy]

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

[@HarryVerolme]

he turned it to the lowest, so it's not completely off.

[@raoulduke1961]

+Harry Verolme (TPT) You cant turn it off, its always on.

[@jp27fcp]

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 :)

[@Morgi647897]

+jp27fcp My heart broke when I saw the smoke. That engine failure devastated me.

[@galarianmike283]

+Morgotth Me too. I so wanted Schuey to win championship number 8...

[@dk_noobmaster46]

+jp27fcp me too, i almost cry when Schumi got the DNF. it was at that moment he lost the championship. very, very sad

[@jp27fcp]

+Iam Ilias Damn, I was talking from memory, I didn't check xD It was just a point, not that bad xD

[@kostismv]

+jp27fcp don't forget that alonso had an engine failure in the previous race at monza

[@mmarlow4325]

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.

[@hectorjrw]

This is a sick idea

[@Pooperplex]

yeah you can

[@nikolayivanov9539]

+M marlow and whats the point ? the only difference is that his name will be schumacher not daly

Welcome to the Japanese Grand Prick, we got a prick in pole and a prick in 8th on prick tyres

[@michaelturner6335]

The XmattyG words of wisdom 😂

[@CaptainParallax]

+Brian Glennon That was actually Malaysia, but still a good moment from the youtuber championship

[@BlueAxeRacer]

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.

[@rodrim-p5083]

Very agree, brilliant season!

[@TheLeewi98]

I think it was a good season but not the greatest.

[@raoulduke1961]

+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.

[@anthonyiuculano6002]

+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...

[@bluexephos2255]

RIP DiRT Rally lets play

[@JN-ug5ky]

"I will talk less" ... keeps talking

[@King_Goat_JJ]

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.

[@zephyrc0686]

Thx for the info.

[@CJMcMullet]

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.

[@corntorteeya86]

Why is this game so much better than the newer ones? The presentation, the gameplay, everything.

[@alc-d4163]

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.

[@RobTheGreenEngine]

Don't start last. Try and have a normal race.

[@PJ2436]

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.

[@RBenjo21]

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.

[@WilhelmX666]

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

[@MarkoPejic14]

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

Great driving ben you have been really good looking forward for second season

[@jamiengo4987]

You get the same engineer. I love this career please continue this forever

[@Ealesy101]

I'd love to see a rookie season again on the harder difficulties, very much enjoying this gameplay and commentary 👍🏻

[@Entotrte]

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.

[@bencedomokos]

In quick race , you can customize the grid! I think a video of an opposite starting grid race could be interesting.

[@AlexOliver555]

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.

[@gambit-6181]

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.

[@King60133]

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

[@Fa0404B]

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

[@TheDogfreak2000]

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.

[@barj16]

Why have you turned tc and abs off, in 2006 the cars relied on tc

[@NaujFormula1]

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

[@jawajuice12]

"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

[@SpoOky21lol]

best series on youtube atm

[@Mini-cu6mk]

Great video ben, as usual, what do you think about Verstappen's first win?

[@jacksoncallis1104]

Ben you need to do a compilation of all your crashes this season

[@CheapAbyss]

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

[@DerEinzige21]

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.

[@TheodorBsson]

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...

[@deangordon3936]

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!

[@pulkka25]

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..

[@jackziino2898]

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

[@MrAshleyR]

Oh Felipe, don't ever change.

[@thehaydo9405]

Ben are you going to Ipswich V8s this year? If so what day

[@RezaFFA]

+Thomas The Racer He means V8 Supercars in Australia, not BriscaF1

[@saltbjorn]

Michael Dyson thought not lol

[@iTouchUser4Ever]

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...

[@dantheracer16]

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.

[@MentalParadox]

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.

[@kelvibulku9902]

After this eventful season could you return to rallying for a bit?

Does anyone know why there is a red needle as well as a white needle on the rev counter?

[@ahmadsyauqi9452]

Where is the F1 2006 Championship edition playlist?

[@sandorcsepanyi7008]

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)

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.

[@KevinBorell]

12:47 it was this moment, when Ben knew, he fuckt up

[@TMGaming]

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

[@anthonyiuculano6002]

+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.

[@TMGaming]

+Anthony Iuculano exactly

[@SdoubleA]

3:00 Was that a reference to 1989?

[@T_Eighteen]

Ben, for next season how about championship mode instead of Career mode?. its the same thing but without the recruitment stuff and more happens as well, from what i have played

[@sandervandenberg6080]

Are you able to use your t150 since you're on the ps3?

[@sonnylindfield3771]

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.

[@JackBraza]

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

[@taufiqutomo]

Qualify, make it to Q3, burn fuel for 12 minutes, return to garage for new tyres, and get back out.

[@marcelschram11]

do you continue the nascar series?

[@Laahustaja]

Are you restarting on a higher difficulty?`

[@alexwwe2009]

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.

[@TheJohnnyboyrocker]

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.

[@roadrunner6224]

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

[@MrJohnManiac]

Why are you using the pad? The game does not support the wheel or you dont have a wheel for the console?

[@chasetheracer88]

how do you restart a race on this game?

[@Andrejus84]

you playing this game with pad, or wheel?

[@MichaelRomanidis]

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.

[@Mr8GBMonkey]

2006 with around 18 laps left his engine went as it overhheated in his pot stop

[@SennaEsque97Motorsport1]

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.

[@cGuayo]

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! ;)

[@keeganforde2012]

+Tiametmarduk did you take him out in qualifying ben. if yes that was cheeky

[@Mercenario_X]

that painful engine failure made Michael Schumacher lose that championship in 2006

[@MunroMcs98]

Try next season in the Honda or McLaren at a higher difficulty and possibly longer races?

"An Italian engineer who has an Italian accent." Ben Daly 2016

[@baileykennedy1797]

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.

[@anthonyiuculano6002]

+Cx-TrickshoT All true except for Schumacher admitting defeat. That's one thing he would NEVER do.

[@sharanbo148]

Yes it was this race when Schumacher had an engine failure

[@Nathan-br1ds]

Ben can you do a series on f1 2013 classed mode pls

[@aaronslaughter2987]

"I'm going to talk less" continues to talk crashes out lol

[@TheWeco]

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.

[@davidwood3761]

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

[@davidwood3761]

it was also his first mechanical retirement since 2002

[@anthonyiuculano6002]

+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.

[@aggrobernd]

yeah, this was the race and season where the engine failure killed schumacher's chances for his 8th world title

[@TheWeco]

The problem with the cars braking so early is fixed with a harder dufficulty.

[@tgigaweserdude]

Ben can you make a montage of this season AND next season

[@oscargrant4051]

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.

[@nicoisern8993]

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

[@antf1868]

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.

[@CountFisco]

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.
