This interview remains one of the greatest driver interviews ever...Robin showing all his experience with his questions & at his finest, Fred very relaxed & talkative with Robin, it is a wonderful piece of journalism...& a tenderloin gag sign-off also...! We love you forever Robin ♥️
Not going to lie here. I'm an european F1 and Alonso fan that never followed Indy before but I'll just say, not only I'll follow Indy races from now on but I also just subscribed to this channel because of this old fella named Robin Miller. What a passionate and cheerful man!
Youtubax Robin will remain cheerful until you ask him about NASCAR, then his carmudegon side appears. I love those rants also. Miller was with the Indianapolis Star back when they invented the printing press. BTW do you play a Tubax?
Why others like him is because he's absolutely genuine. He wears his heart on his sleeve and his love for motorsport is deeper than the pacific. Also in my opinion his interviewing skills are in another league.
Yeah, I guess I've been overrun in general w too much pregame and commercials over past 2yrs is gotten out of hand. Also, I agree he has knowledge and good interview skills. I think there was a few situations years ago where he way overstepped..I'll have to recall what it was, but it reminded me of that dickhead Ted on BBC going around trolling drivers&staff for attention
I don't follow Indycar (F1 guy here) and I've never seen Robin Miller before. MAN, he's a gem. What a great interview. Really a refreshing change from the stiff, boilerplate bullshit we see in F1.
I agree (same background here). He seems genuinely interested in Fred's F1 perspective on IndyCar. Hopefully he will try again, even though he's back with Renault now. You know he wants that triple crown.
Best pilot since Senna. When has Hamiltion ever drove an awful car and challenged for World Drivers Championship?? Only when Hamiltion has a car 1 sec clear of field can he win. Fernando drove the wheels of an awful Ferrari and still beat Hamiltion hands down
Lol you had to bring Hamilton here hmm ? The only way to compare two drivers is when they are team mates! In 2007 Alonso, 2x world champion couldn't beat Hamilton the rookie !!!
Toms River he had to beat Hamiltion and McLaren. One man against everyone in his team. As I say where was he 2009-2013. Fernando took the challenge to an all dominate Red Bull team in an awful set of Ferraris.
Stewart Grindlay I agree with that, Hamiltons mclaren was way faster than alonso's ferrari in each of those years and in 2012 the mclaren was quicker than the all conquering red bull.. and yet Hamilton was nowhere.
wizkid01 I don’t know if you remember but Hamilton had about 3 retirements from the lead in 2012. You can also say he had the best car that year but don’t mention Canada where he wins the race and his teammate, a fellow world champion finishes something like 12th and is lapped. Alonso is a fantastic driver, you don’t need to hate on Hamilton to believe that.
I was just waiting to hear Robin catch up with Alonso. I was wondering how Alonso would react to his style of interviewing since no one interviews with such emotion in Formula 1 or keeps churning out facts about history while asking questions. But it seems Alonso totally loved it, and everyone loves Robin. I guess someone should interview him one day.
In spite of his amazing credentials, I don't think Alonso is taking racing at Indy for granted. He knows there's a lot for him to wrap his head around in a very short period of time. But he's up for the challenge. I wish him all the best.
I always was, and still am, disappointed that Alonso could only win two world titles though he deserved at least 2 more titles. It's also anguishing to see his younger rivals Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton wrap up multiple titles while Alonso languishes at the back of the field. I hope he wins more world titles in F1, but if he pulls this Indy 500 off, that would partly make up for the absence of those world titles - he'll become an all-time great by having statistics to back up his already well known talent...
I'm old enough to remember when Hill won at Indy. My motorcycle helmets, since I started riding in the 70's, my helmet graphics have always been a homemade - Graham Hill replica, till this very day. I think Alonso is the biggest thing to happen at the Indy 500 in a very long time. This is a good thing.
Was about to say the same. Donno if its his style or he just really likes fernando. I have no problem giving a mate a good hug but some bloke i never met before being that grabby would be a bit weird.
"When we get to Indianapolis, he's gonna have his first breaded tenderloin. Stephan Johannsen had it in his stomach for over a month before he digested it. This guy's in a lot better shape." THE BEST LINES EVER UTTERED IN ANY MOTORSPORTS INTERVIEW." Fernando's clearly enjoying himself in the USA and in IndyCar.
ahh... the magic of trying something new... you can see it in Fernando's smile... jajaja... he just can't control his happiness... I really glad for him... even if he doesn't come 1st, 2nd or 3rd... just watching him return to that place, filled with adrenaline, uncertanty and exitement... that place when you challenge yourself for the first time... it's priceless... and who knows... he is a gentleman and won't say it... but seriously, it seems McLaren/Honda won't give him the support he needs on F1, and I really dont see Fernando going back to Ferrari, or hired in Mercedes or Red Bull... Toro Rosso? maybe it's time to change lanes in motorsport for him... anyhow... if he stays on F1 or changes to IndyCar I will continue to follow him... cheers!
SabuPtolemy I feel bad for him. he must of been promised alot from McLaren. they probably said "the car will be good soon, give it time". he must be so fed up. knowing he drives the wheels of any car. and to leave Ferrari and see them on an upward curve. What bad luck
How can you honestly feel bad for anybody making 30 million Euros per year in salary,not to mention all the outside income? So he's driven a crap car for the last three years. Give me a tissue to wipe away my tears. He is one of the best drivers on the planet and holds two F1 World Championships. Better pass me the whole box of tissues.
Larry Smith well, I can't really reply to that! that's a justified perspective, but you could say that about anyone who has been gifted with riches like most sport stars who have gone to the top of their game. you can say you dont give a damn about any of them. But if you looked at it in context he's a good f1 driver, in my opinion and he drives a crap car. But hey who cares about anyone who's well off. fuck them all aye?
'Fred Alonzo' should do well at Indy. It's a long race, so he can cruise around and get comfortable. I hope the Andretti Luck doesn't bite him. All 4 cars out at Long Beach, Marco with electricals(?) at Barber... Great 'one of a kind' interview, Robin! I think FA will be an exciting addition, and I'm so glad he is allowed to spread his wings like this. Honda does not want to lose him, nor Maclaren. (and I can't believe what they pay him!)
Ive always been an F1 fan but i've made sure to watch every indy 500 after Monaco. I got to watch Rossi (who i met in Austin in 2013) take the win last year and now i get to see Alonso dip his feet in. Both sports have major issues to overcome in order to increase viewership and competitiveness, but at heart i just love motorsport and its great to see this crossover of worlds.
He's definitely not wrong. The most elite road guys tend to love the ovals, while the most elite oval guys take a lot more time to develop their road racing skills. Nigel Mansell and Emerson Fittipaldi (as mentioned), JPM, Scott Dixon, etc. are all examples of genuine world class road racers who became very successful on the ovals.
No offense to Rossi, but he got extremely lucky on a fuel strategy. JPM couldn't hang with the NASCAR boys at oval racing but I know that's a completely different beast. But it was a weird statement, becasue while there are less examples for Oval -> Road they can be found. The elite of the elite drivers can usually drive anything. I think he just said it to try and boost Alonso's confidence
Rossi wasn't going to win on flat out pace, but if I remember correctly he was running around tenth on pace earlier on in the race. Also, he looked as if he could win Pocono later in the year. As far as JPM and NASCAR, I don't think there's anyway to compare to two. NASCAR is racing big bulky cars and IndyCar and F1 are racing specifically designed sleek racing machines.
Everything is so sanitized in F1 now, including interviews and press conferences. Its refreshing to see Fernando act like a human being again and... smile. It's has to be a bit of a culture shock jumping into a team that has an annual budget of what Mclaren spends in one race weekend. I hope he loves it and decides to stay.
Main difference between F1 and Indy500 (beside the car) is wheel to wheel racing. F1 driver only has one close racing, at the start, that's it. After that is all lonely or 1:1 . Indy500 is crowded with 3-4 line trying into a corner and only 3 cars fit in. It's like being squeezed in the middle at very high-speed corner and see who will give up the place. It's a nerve-wrecking. The risk of death and serious injury/parralize is much higher in Indy500 than F1. The pit stops also a big difference. It's big chaos in Indy500.
Who is this guy Robin Miller? Seems to be a very sympathetic and well informed commentator. We in europe, had two legendary racing commentators. Murray Walker from Great Britain (english talking) and Heinz Prüller from Austria (german talking). Is he also one of those Motorsport cracy fellas, knowing every single detail of the sport even, what shoes drivers womens wearing at the event :D
One of the BEST car Racing in the world!! Few Bad years with of Racing with Ferrari, and McLaren,,!! Not his Fault!! He still is one of the BEST Driver!! A BETTER Machine for at F1! Next Time!! He will be Winning for Sure!!.
Alonso can sometimes be categorized as a primadona and a whiner but he has really shown a personal side in ALL the Indy 500 interviews he's done. He's in WAY better spirits under this subject than on just how bad Honda pooped the F1 Bed. I follow F1 very closely and 20 years ago was a die-hard Cart fan. I'm going to be glued to the TV for this Indy. I think he has a better chance than most of winning. In F1 circles he's still in the Top 3 for driving talent. Anyone that can get that Pig of a McLaren into Q2 has to be.
Ok is it just me or is this a totally different Fernando Alonso? and what happens if Jenson podiums? I know it is a real long shot but Checo podium last year and if Honda can give him a reliable car its possible he can compete.
@JASON D With Fernando's luck, I'm guessing that McLaren will dominate the weekend, first line on the grid with pole and victory for Button (in his car), second for Bottas (in the car he wanted to grab... I mean... drive this year) and Vettel third (in the car he could be driving, but rejected). And Vandoorne, having been involved in a first lap incident and crossed the line dead last, will put McLaren's overwhelming dominance to good use in a impressive recovery to finish fourth. Meanwhile, in Indianapolis, Alonso's engine will die, in a puff of smoke, on the way to the grid. Then McLaren will be back to "normality" for the remaining of the season and will not score any points again. Best driver in F1 for more than one decade and one of the greatest ever, 3 titles lost by a aggregate of 8 points and only 2 crowns to show after 15 years of F1, the only other case that I can remember of such contrast between talent and results, it is Sir Stirling Moss, who should be, at least, triple champion and doesn't have any title with his name on it.
HAHAHA I agree. There are too many other factors involved to say one driver is the best but he is defiantly in the top 3. Its really hard to watch such a great talent wasting away at McLaren. But come on two McLarens finishing a race, that is really a stretch. I know it would be considered a demotion but I would rather they let him stay in the Indy series for the rest of the season. At least then his talent wouldn't be going to waste. But like you said with his luck McLaren would then all of a sudden be on top.
Is Robin not on any networks anymore?? I really like him because he's a straight shooter. I know it gets him in trouble sometimes. Maybe that's why he's not on a network. He does a great Gridwalk too. Fernando seems totally excited. He's in such a mess at McLaren. So it's nice to see him energized. Go Fernando!
To This Day I Watch This Interview Every Couple Of Months Just Soo Refreshing From Both Guys, F1 Needs Robin Miller Or a Guy LIKE Him Because F1 Is Too Robotic and Stale
I might acc start watching Indy Car now. Seems kinda exciting and they have a lot of crashes. Unlike F1 where pretty much every third race is boring af.
The only thing about indy cars that interests me is Robin Miller. He's a great guy with a lot of knowledge about racing in days gone by. The glory days.
Fernando .. please let's try to speak a language of english with a dialect and accent from the bronx, brooklyn, queens, staten island, and manhattan. ! Come on .. let's go !
Had to come back and watch this one today. RIP Robin, IndyCar just won't be the same with out you.
How can you not love Fernando!?
Ask those Lew Lew fans who have it out for me.
This interview remains one of the greatest driver interviews ever...Robin showing all his experience with his questions & at his finest, Fred very relaxed & talkative with Robin, it is a wonderful piece of journalism...& a tenderloin gag sign-off also...! We love you forever Robin ♥️
I agree I watch it regularly. It's one of the best interviews just something about it
Not going to lie here. I'm an european F1 and Alonso fan that never followed Indy before but I'll just say, not only I'll follow Indy races from now on but I also just subscribed to this channel because of this old fella named Robin Miller. What a passionate and cheerful man!
Youtubax Robin will remain cheerful until you ask him about NASCAR, then his carmudegon side appears. I love those rants also. Miller was with the Indianapolis Star back when they invented the printing press. BTW do you play a Tubax?
As he should be amigo.
iNDY CAR WILL FUCKING NEVER BE SECOND FIDDLE TO THAT SHIT SERIES NASSHIT!
Why others like him is because he's absolutely genuine. He wears his heart on his sleeve and his love for motorsport is deeper than the pacific. Also in my opinion his interviewing skills are in another league.
Yeah, I guess I've been overrun in general w too much pregame and commercials over past 2yrs is gotten out of hand. Also, I agree he has knowledge and good interview skills.

I agree (same background here). He seems genuinely interested in Fred's F1 perspective on IndyCar. Hopefully he will try again, even though he's back with Renault now. You know he wants that triple crown.
He was such a great man. Shame we lost him this year. RIP
Robin was the best.
Great interview Robin. Excited to see Alonso at Indy. Great for the sport.
After this is done and dusted Alonso will probably say his greatest shock at Indy was Robin Miller.
That interviewer is great, really nice job he did there.
Best pilot since Senna. When has Hamiltion ever drove an awful car and challenged for World Drivers Championship?? Only when Hamiltion has a car 1 sec clear of field can he win. Fernando drove the wheels of an awful Ferrari and still beat Hamiltion hands down

Verdade! Melhor piloto desde Senna, é Fernando Alonso
I was just waiting to hear Robin catch up with Alonso. I was wondering how Alonso would react to his style of interviewing since no one interviews with such emotion in Formula 1 or keeps churning out facts about history while asking questions. But it seems Alonso totally loved it, and everyone loves Robin. I guess someone should interview him one day.
He seems like that one guys at the track that everybody is friends with because he will talk your ear off about anything racing.
True :)
Robin, you're the man, guy... always bringing this amazing interviews absolutely inside the pitlane. Thanks for that!
best f1 driver on the grid today! Hope he wins indy!!!!
In spite of his amazing credentials, I don't think Alonso is taking racing at Indy for granted. He knows there's a lot for him to wrap his head around in a very short period of time. But he's up for the challenge. I wish him all the best.
I always was, and still am, disappointed that Alonso could only win two world titles though he deserved at least 2 more titles.

I hope he wins more world titles in F1, but if he pulls this Indy 500 off, that would partly make up for the absence of those world titles - he'll become an all-time great by having statistics to back up his already well known talent...
Agreed. He definitely should have had two more titles under his belt by now. Alonso AND Montoya at this year's Indy! It's almost too good to be true.
praveen titus I agree. He's just had so much bad luck. He definitely deserves more titles than both Hamilton and Vettel.
Just add Max Verstappen to the mix too!
+praveen titus get Raikkonen and we can have another "f***ing f***ing Raikkonen, what a f***ing idiot!" moment :D
I'm old enough to remember when Hill won at Indy. My motorcycle helmets, since I started riding in the 70's, my helmet graphics have always been a homemade - Graham Hill replica, till this very day. I think Alonso is the biggest thing to happen at the Indy 500 in a very long time. This is a good thing.
Fernando Alonso returns to smile ;)
The way he handled that Renault back in 05 and 06 was simply awe inspiring. His pass of the Michael at Suzuka comes to mind.
It's good to see Fernando excited again...
Grande Alonso!!!! Greetings from Spain to all north-americans. Indy500 looks amazing we are all discovering it from this side of the ocean!!
By far the best interview questions for Alonso I've heard during his Indy 500 venture.
that guy is a real close talker....and touchy too
Robert Blake Welcome to Robin Miller
He's a legend in his own right.
Was about to say the same. Donno if its his style or he just really likes fernando. I have no problem giving a mate a good hug but some bloke i never met before being that grabby would be a bit weird.
J Biafra He's the same Robin in every interview lol. Does that stuff to everyone.
Love his attitude!
Two great guys right there, can't wait for the race!
one of the best interviews ive ever watched. subscribed!
I wonder if anyone told Fernando about Robin? :D
Wow, the interviewer actually touched the driver and hugged him!!! Mind blowing!!!
Thanks Miller! Desperately awaiting the video of you Kanaan and Alonso going for a breaded tenderloin in May.
I like that interview. And what is remarkable is that this one news - Alonso doing INDY 500 - beats every news coming from boaring F1.
Did you see that? Fernando was grinning from ear to ear! I haven't seen that in years
"When we get to Indianapolis, he's gonna have his first breaded tenderloin. Stephan Johannsen had it in his stomach for over a month before he digested it. This guy's in a lot better shape." THE BEST LINES EVER UTTERED IN ANY MOTORSPORTS INTERVIEW." Fernando's clearly enjoying himself in the USA and in IndyCar.
That was a great interview.
ahh... the magic of trying something new... you can see it in Fernando's smile... jajaja... he just can't control his happiness...

anyhow... if he stays on F1 or changes to IndyCar I will continue to follow him...
cheers!
I'm rooting for Alonso for sure this year. Indy oughta be a hell of a lot of fun.
Yes... Well done, He is in for a treat with his first Hoosier Tenderloin and almost getting as much press as Danica.
Yes, Fernando will need to lead a substantial number of laps in his first Indy to accomplish what she did.
I don't know why but I used to think Alonso was an arsehole. But over the years I've began to really like this guy. It's like a fine wine.
SabuPtolemy so true. Lol. I hated him when he was at Renault. I guess winners all ways seem arragont. now's he's in a shit car I find him quiet funny
SabuPtolemy I feel bad for him. he must of been promised alot from McLaren. they probably said "the car will be good soon, give it time". he must be so fed up. knowing he drives the wheels of any car. and to leave Ferrari and see them on an upward curve. What bad luck
How can you honestly feel bad for anybody making 30 million Euros per year in salary,not to mention all the outside income? So he's driven a crap car for the last three years.

great interview, a genuinely decent guy with real questions much better than the mindless drivel the f1 press come up with
Bwoah like Kimi hahah
So great that we'll get to see an F1 Champ race at Indy this year! Super excited to see how he adjusts to the oval.
I was not a fan of Indie before. Now I am intrigued with Fernando involved
Very cool! my heroes drove anything that was fast. Best of luck Fernando.
'Fred Alonzo' should do well at Indy. It's a long race, so he can cruise around and get comfortable. I hope the Andretti Luck doesn't bite him. All 4 cars out at Long Beach, Marco with electricals(?) at Barber...
Great 'one of a kind' interview, Robin! I think FA will be an exciting addition, and I'm so glad he is allowed to spread his wings like this. Honda does not want to lose him, nor Maclaren. (and I can't believe what they pay him!)
2021 nice to see FA14 (Alonso) back to Renault.
I can't wait for him to race at Indy
this guy smiles now
Ive always been an F1 fan but i've made sure to watch every indy 500 after Monaco. I got to watch Rossi (who i met in Austin in 2013) take the win last year and now i get to see Alonso dip his feet in. Both sports have major issues to overcome in order to increase viewership and competitiveness, but at heart i just love motorsport and its great to see this crossover of worlds.
"Good road racers adapt to ovals better than good oval racers adapt to road courses"
Why does the name JR Hildebrand come to mind
was a weird statement because Ive noticed the opposite the last decade or so.
He's definitely not wrong. The most elite road guys tend to love the ovals, while the most elite oval guys take a lot more time to develop their road racing skills. Nigel Mansell and Emerson Fittipaldi (as mentioned), JPM, Scott Dixon, etc. are all examples of genuine world class road racers who became very successful on the ovals.
+Brandon Ryan did Alex Rossi do many ovals before his indy500 win?
No offense to Rossi, but he got extremely lucky on a fuel strategy.
JPM couldn't hang with the NASCAR boys at oval racing but I know that's a completely different beast.
But it was a weird statement, becasue while there are less examples for Oval -> Road they can be found.
The elite of the elite drivers can usually drive anything.
I think he just said it to try and boost Alonso's confidence
Rossi wasn't going to win on flat out pace, but if I remember correctly he was running around tenth on pace earlier on in the race. Also, he looked as if he could win Pocono later in the year.
As far as JPM and NASCAR, I don't think there's anyway to compare to two. NASCAR is racing big bulky cars and IndyCar and F1 are racing specifically designed sleek racing machines.
Everything is so sanitized in F1 now, including interviews and press conferences. Its refreshing to see Fernando act like a human being again and... smile. It's has to be a bit of a culture shock jumping into a team that has an annual budget of what Mclaren spends in one race weekend. I hope he loves it and decides to stay.
Rip Robin you will be missed
Main difference between F1 and Indy500 (beside the car) is wheel to wheel racing. F1 driver only has one close racing, at the start, that's it. After that is all lonely or 1:1 . Indy500 is crowded with 3-4 line trying into a corner and only 3 cars fit in. It's like being squeezed in the middle at very high-speed corner and see who will give up the place. It's a nerve-wrecking. The risk of death and serious injury/parralize is much higher in Indy500 than F1. The pit stops also a big difference. It's big chaos in Indy500.
2012 grosjean would have been fun at Indy
When you are a two time Formula One Champion,you can drive anything,just sayin'
Who is this guy Robin Miller? Seems to be a very sympathetic and well informed commentator. We in europe, had two legendary racing commentators. Murray Walker from Great Britain (english talking) and Heinz Prüller from Austria (german talking). Is he also one of those Motorsport cracy fellas, knowing every single detail of the sport even, what shoes drivers womens wearing at the event :D
and let's hope for a safe 500 that no spectators or drivers or crew men / woman get injured or worse
5:14 "You were just a kid, you were 35"
Whut? 35 is young now? Also, that smile by Fernando at the end had me in tears.
Kalsonic 35 is young by indy standards.
Thats just how robin miller talks
Go go Alonso #1
good luck fernando.
big balls !!
He called it for Takuma Sato!
That smile is bad news for the rest of the drivers.
One of the BEST car Racing in the world!! Few Bad years with of Racing with Ferrari, and McLaren,,!! Not his Fault!! He still is one of the BEST Driver!! A BETTER Machine for at F1! Next Time!! He will be Winning for Sure!!.
I hope he is smiling as much after the 500 is over
vamos alonsooo!!!
HoooooonnnnnDaaaaaaaa.....BOOM!
Alonso can sometimes be categorized as a primadona and a whiner but he has really shown a personal side in ALL the Indy 500 interviews he's done. He's in WAY better spirits under this subject than on just how bad Honda pooped the F1 Bed. I follow F1 very closely and 20 years ago was a die-hard Cart fan. I'm going to be glued to the TV for this Indy. I think he has a better chance than most of winning. In F1 circles he's still in the Top 3 for driving talent. Anyone that can get that Pig of a McLaren into Q2 has to be.
5:28 > -BOWAH
Ok is it just me or is this a totally different Fernando Alonso? and what happens if Jenson podiums? I know it is a real long shot but Checo podium last year and if Honda can give him a reliable car its possible he can compete.

At least then his talent wouldn't be going to waste. But like you said with his luck McLaren would then all of a sudden be on top.
Alonso never heard of indy before this.
Its not a challenge but speed is amazing for the time car is flat out.
Is Robin not on any networks anymore?? I really like him because he's a straight shooter. I know it gets him in trouble sometimes. Maybe that's why he's not on a network. He does a great Gridwalk too. Fernando seems totally excited. He's in such a mess at McLaren. So it's nice to see him energized. Go Fernando!
Hes on NBC sports network
Ah, okay - good. But they never do the 500 - usually ABC. Unless, they have the rights now?
unfortunately no. We are stuck with ABC. NBCSN does broadcast Carb Day the Friday of the 500 weekend.
Copy that - no Robin. Well, I'll be watching if I'm not going. Should be interesting.
The best driver in my opinion! now Honda, give him a good car!
everybody is going to full Indianapolis 2017 , even people dint know this race. before ;)
Bwoah!
To This Day I Watch This Interview Every Couple Of Months Just Soo Refreshing From Both Guys, F1 Needs Robin Miller Or a Guy LIKE Him Because F1 Is Too Robotic and Stale
5:26 bwoah
I might acc start watching Indy Car now. Seems kinda exciting and they have a lot of crashes. Unlike F1 where pretty much every third race is boring af.
Indy is kind of a lotery. Alonso could do much better on a road course.
road courses have become a lottery when the caution comes out
The only thing about indy cars that interests me is Robin Miller. He's a great guy with a lot of knowledge about racing in days gone by. The glory days.
A REAL DIE HARD INDY GUY JUST LIKE ME ALONG WITH W0o and big block modifieds!
What??? American accent???? This is hilarious
Fernando .. please let's try to speak a language of english with a dialect and accent from the bronx, brooklyn, queens, staten island, and manhattan. !
Come on .. let's go !
