Trafford20 0 Posted March 27 Hi, i’m not great and f1 2019 on the PS4 so I have damage off and when I’m in the r and d screen I normally go with the recommended upgrade! The question I have is I’m on race 15 and I have had 7 incidents where my car has had terminal damage, I’ve raced with McLaren at first and thought it may be because the team are unreliable but now I’m with Mercedes and it still happens? Can somebody tell me why this is happening as it’s very frustrating, I have used flashbacks and also restarted races only for it to happen no matter what!! Please somebody help!

It's not about the teams' reliability, it might be because you never switch your power train components and gearboxes. When you are starting a new session and you go to the screen that says "overview" in the top and all the sessions of your weekend, don't go straight to racing. Press R1 a few times until you get to the Vehicle Management screen. There you can manage your power unit components and gearboxes. When you race, you always use the same power unit and gearbox. They will wear more you use them and if they wear too much they might break and you will have that terminal damage. Power unit has many components. In the Vehicle Management screen you can change the worn component into new ones. Of course you have only limited amount of power unit components to use and you will have to order new ones at some point, costing some grid penalties. Same with the gearbox. I recommend to switch into new components when they are about 50% worn, because then they might start having issues. With the power unit components you can always switch into older ones to manage them and avoid grid penalties. With the (non-practice) gearbox you will always get the penalty so use them to the 50% and only then switch it. Vehicle management is a key in Career Mode and it's good to learn to use it. I hope this was the problem and I helped solving it. If there is something else you want to ask, let me know! Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
