F1 2014 Engine Status, Career

F1 2014 The Game (Codemasters)
How important is the Engine status on career mode? I mean im still on my first engine, that have like 82% or something on engine status. If I change engine now, will I notice any differant or is there almost no differant? I just wonder since would be good to know if it matters and also just because I feel like previous games that it didnt matter so much...
 
I haven't done any conclusive tests, but at Austria, I had a 92% engine. My pace was decent during practice so I decided that if I swapped engines, I may be able to get a podium. Well, My quali times were a good .500 faster or more. I believe engines effect speed on the straights. I struggle a bit more with an older engine on the straights against the ai than when I have a fresh engine.

But anyway, you have 5 engines. Why not swap it regardless? A quick switch at the end of practice doesn't take much time. If it doesn't have any effect then oh well, but if it does, then at least you'll benefit from changing them.
 
Ok, was wondering since my plan was to change in practice in Spain, but I crashed out since my wheel got dissconected in a fast corner...

And than I got 12th in qulifying with my 82% engine, so I was wondering if I could make Q3 if I didnt crash so I had change engine...:p
