How to unlock the Down but not out achievement in F1 2017 - Definitive Guide

When you are in career mode and you can use your laptop press RB until you get to the screen where you can swap out engine parts, rather than picking from one of the 4 there, hit the + sign at the end.

You will get a message stating that you will drop a grid position for doing this do you want to proceed? Hit yes and you will get the achievement

So I may have found a huge bug, I drive for McLaren and had some Gearbox issues during Qualifying so between Qually and the Race I replaced the gearbox, automatic 5 place grid drop right, so I line up in p20 on the grid, I have formation lap turned on, go round the formation lap at the back and when the cpu takes over before the final corner I start ghosting through cars and actually start the race in p15 where I qualified, I know mine was with a gearbox change and the achievement is for an engine part but I just wanted to point this out

As far as I am aware this would not pop the achievement. You need to hit the plus sign on the laptop for it to pop

I also replaced a gearbox, got the grid penalty, and no pop. It popped about 24 hours later.
