How to unlock the The 1% club achievement in F1 2017 - Definitive Guide

It turns out this is actually easier than it was in F1 2016.

Head to Grand Prix and select the following:

> Track: Monza
> Weather: Clear
> Race Length: 25%
> Rules and Flags: Off
> AI Difficulty: 101 to 110 (Ultimate)

Select a classic car you're comfortable with driving (I suggest the Ferrari F2004). If using Modern F1 Cars select a Mercedes and you'll start near the front.

Use whatever Assists you like and have Flashback enabled just incase something goes wrong.

The above event setup will let you cut corners without getting penalised, the most obvious benefit being the first chicane. AI drivers will still take the normal racing line which means you will gain several seconds a lap on them every time.

A 25% race with these settings will take you about 15 minutes to complete.


If you change a few details here and there you could also potentially unlock the following:

Tried this but the only corner cutting options were normal and strict. Could not select none

You have to set rules and flags to off in order to allow corner cutting. I would also recommend turning vehicle damage to off in case of collisions. I also had the safety car turned off.

A couple of additions to this solution. Obviously turn off the auto braking in assists so you can cut the corners at speed. Also if you can cause a bit of chaos at the first turn and get the safety car out then you can just blow by it and get a half lap lead or more (make sure it's turned on in options).

I think Canada is a better track to use, I ended up lapping every car. Thumbs up :)

This Achievement is just as easy as in F1 2016

-Start a Grand Prix at Monaco as Lewis Hamilton. (Modern cars)
-Select No Qualifying and 25% Race distance.
-And ofcourse AI Difficultiy : Ultimate
-Set the Weather to light Rain. (is on the next screen press RB twice to get to it)

You can have all assists on if you want when you're ready start the Race.

Try to be first at the first corner and you should not have to much problems winning.
The AI doesnt try to overtake that much so you could be a lil slow if you want.
But dont be to slow at start/finish & the tunnel because thats the only points where they tried to overtake me.
You dont have to pit because of the rain.
Rewinding does not affect the achievement.

This should take about 25-35 minutes.

This game's bullshit. I ran out of fuel on the last lap (20) going thru the tunnel. Not even funny. So I went to Monza in the rain as Hamilton, straightlined the first corner as they all wrecked behind me. Virtual Safety Car came out so I stayed up it and gained a lead of half a lap. Had a stress free run and won by over 20 seconds with 2 laps of fuel remaining. Oh yer, i also got the achievement.

Easily achievable at Monaco in the rain. Start with Lewis and don't use qualifying, you'll start from pole, just manage the gap. If you're finding it difficult be sure to turn off damage and corner cutting to regular.

As stated in the description, you have to win a race against the AI on the hardest difficulty setting in the game. This is by far the hardest trophy in the game if done legitimately but luckily you can obtain this trophy quite easily if you don't mind cheating a bit. Choose the Monza (Italy) or the Monaco track and pick Lewis Hamilton or Sebastein Vettel to be assured of a front row spot in the grid. Before you start the race make sure you alter the settings so that the AI difficulty says 'Ultimate' and the race length is set to at least 25%. Feel free to use any assists you want but make sure to turn off damage and all rules and regulations. Now both Monaco and Monza (2) have chicanes that you can exploit by simply running straight instead of taking them properly. You will gain so much time from this that you won't have to worry about the AI. For a visual aid on how to obtain this trophy, please refer to this video (credit to It's Ya Boi for this):

If you can’t win fairly, then turn off the rules and flags in the race settings. In Grand Prix mode, you select the Monza track and just go straight into the first corner every lap.

In addition to the above, it is worth adding that this trophy can be obtained together with two more - “Don’t Hold My Hand” and “Prancing Horse”: choose a classic Ferrari and completely turn off all assistance.
