McLaren Team Mate not getting engine updates?

[Punition 36]

Patch notes are not clear as to whether they fixed this problem or not

[Punition 36]

I can confirm is not fixed I overtake Alonso without DRS on that long straight on track china during pratice ..... This should fixed asap this is game killer for everyone who play Mclaren on career mode. They can't fight for constructor and race alongside their teammate.. I don't even want to play  career mode untill is fixed, the game at all...

That's a huge disappointment. Means that I have been waiting for a patch which didn't fixed it.
Also almost 3 seasons down the drain.
I'm not going to play anymore until it's fixed.

Its weird that both mclarens get updates when you dont choose them in career

@F1Support said on the 9th of October that they were aware. But they also said that on the 25th of September. Still don't have an answer why it isn't fixed in 1.8

This is a game breaking bug, how did they not fix it???

[TeS Roland 19]

Still no answer from CM. How hard is it to give an answer why it isn't fixed. Have pm'ed a few here. Send multiple tweets an posting threads. No answer or anything. @F1Support @jennyannem @CmRachel HELLO!?!?!? ANYBODY THERE????

Since not everyone looks in technical assistance. Here a small update: it seems to be a complex issue. They have no idea if and when it will be fixed.

What the hell...what kind of Mickey Mouse coding is happening over at Codemasters?  How can this problem be only specific to Alonso?  It doesn't make sense.

 The really worrying part is that it might not be just alonso specific but a general team mate issue

Probably not, because everything regarding this issue is Alonso related. I'm sure that we would have read about it by now if other team mates were effected.

Its Stoffel as well. I have the problem in my career. Really makes the in-team battle very very boring.

At least we know it is possible to take McLaren back to the top after upgrading the car!

[FRACTURED 30]

Not so much McLaren as just yourself if your team mate is rarely scoring

What makes you think that? I only saw reports about it concerning McLaren. All reports mention Alonso or Vandoorne. Would see other reports if it was other teams as well

I am in a williams and Stroll is never near my pace. I always beat him by a mile. I dont even look where he is anymore. He is not competitive at all. I am playing on 90 AI. Getting around P5-P10 in qualy. I am at the end of season 1.

Stroll is absolutely atrocious in the game. Massa would've given you a far greater challenge, being one of the best drivers in the game. You would've run into similar issues if your teammate was Ricciardo, Verstappen, Palmer or Vandoorne, as, coupled with Stroll, these 5 seem to be the worst drivers in the game, always underperforming relative to worse cars. The problem is that Vandoorne doesn't even get engine upgrades, which I assume Stroll, at the very least, is.

[AdamFreeman 224]

Verstapen and ricciardo should be in the top 5drivers stats atleast

I wanted to retire Massa and get the williams to the top but now the new patch got me down with the performance update. haha. I am thinking about starting a new carrer with ferrari and vettel as teammate

I'd say top 10 as they are both massively overrated, but for some reason they're extremely bad in this game. Prior to the patch, Massa was putting up a very strong fight against them in pretty much every race, and even Grosjean did the same in Spain for me, a track that should naturally be a good fit for the RB and a very bad fit for the Haas. Post-patch, Perez seems to be qualifying within a tenth of Verstappen every single time for me no matter the track, which, given the FI's good tyre wear and it being even faster now than the Williams was pre-patch (while still being miles off the RB), is concerning.

This isn't the first time this has happened either. In 2014 for instance, the Ferrari and McLaren drivers were shown to be weak in the game files, with Button being especially mediocre.

ricciardo is on of the best drivers for me. Top 5 for sure. Look at the standings. Monza this year was amazing

Monza only happened because both Vettel and Raikkonen had extreme car damage, and the Red Bull is a monster of a car right now. I can't even recall the last time Raikkonen had a race with no issues in fact.

Kimi has had the worst of the luck on a clean weekend he is very close to vettel especially when you compare bottas and hamilton. 

He would have won at malaysia if he could have started. Could have won monaco and hungary so he is still pretty fast and ferrari will know this from the data.

And last race he did good as low as 15th and finished 5th
