Automatic engine breaking on final corner to prevent finishing first in career mode

Recommended Posts

I have just started playing F1 2017. When I get to final corner (happened on all 3 first races of the season so far) the car automatically breaks on the final corner to stop me finishing first and end up finishing 3rd-8th. Is this a fault, is it not possible to finish first with Verstappen on first few races on career mode? Is this just coincidence that my car is breaking at the same time?

Please help. thanks

Hi @GtownFulcrum3

What level of Breaking Assist do you have on? If you try setting the Breaking Assist to a lower level or off, does that help at all? 
You should be able to find the Breaking Assist toggle in the Assists section of the Preferences menu while the race is paused.

Do you really see the breaks are on or do you think it is? Is there any indication on the break bar?
It really sounds like out of fuel. If you are out of fuel the car immediately decrease his speed down to 80km/h.

Thanks for the replies, it sounds like the fuel is more likely, I’ll try being better with my fuel and see if that works! Thanks again.

If you have the mfd open showing fuel mix settings it will display LOW FUEL MODE if it switches over to that. Happened to me couple of times over finish line when I forgot to turn rich mix off for the final straight. Once had vettel slam Into me from behind as it slows down very fast!
