@@rotorairgroup8409 Hes also massively overperformed in every car hes had since he left Mclaren.

If you're judging drive ability by races / titles won then you clearly dont understand the sport (to my original post).
@johnniejay That is because he is not capable on helping his teams to develop the cars. He always complain about having slow cars but he has never get any of them better. Alonso had 2 good seasons out of 20. Hamilton, Vettel & Verstappen scored points in their first F1 race. Alonso scored points in his third season. You are the one that doesn't understand F1.

He won 2 titles with Renault, and has outperformed the car performance (and his teammates) at Alpine and AMR. WTF are you talking about?! 😂😂😂
Alonso is amazing. He started in the worst car a Minardi learned his craft to get better cars. When he said he was coming back to F1 i thought he would be like Bottas spinning around at the back. But he is fast strong and powerful and capable of challenging Max and Lewis the 2 best drivers. Alonso is young at heart and that is what you need in F1. He is not just another driver to old for the sport.
And how he held such a dominant car behind him for thirty freaking laps. I didn't ever expect to see one of those legendary photo-finishes live. I don't think I blinked more than a handful of times for that entire battle. It was marvelous.
As a spaniard I appreciate videos like this. There's only one thing missing in his career....luck. If he would've driven a Redbull he'd have 7 or 8 champs. LeMans winner, Daytona winner, Top 10 in the Dakar and still racing hard at his 40's. Top 5 ever in my opinion.
In a funny way, his McLaren days might have been one of the best things that could have happened to motorsport, because it led Fernando to try out and bring a large amount of attention to other things, such as his adventures in Indianapolis and in endurance racing. If it wasn't for him, I might have never discovered just how much awesome motorsports there is to be found outside of F1, and I will be forever thankful to my hero Fernando for showing me that.

Many People can said, "How Compare Alonso with Senna, Schumi, Hamilton..." They can see the words of Jenson Button, Frank Williams, Toto Wolf, Christian Horner, Felipe Massa, Alain Prost, Jack Stewart... about Fernando. I think these people know what they're talking about.
Definitely an all-time great and the best driver since the days of Senna/Prost/Schumacher. I am a massive fan of Alonso but I must admit though, Verstappen is the only driver that has excited me as much since Fernando first appeared in F1. If not for bad team choices or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time (exactly the opposite of Hamilton for eg), Fernando would definitely have had more titles.
I like Verstappen too, but I think he's been a bit clumsy on wheel to wheel racing. While he's incredibly fast on the main racing lines, there have been instances where his aggressive style has led to incidents. I do believe he has the potential to refine his skills, but for that he needs more experience competing with adversaries with cars on par with his.
@Varblomst I'm a max fan but those incidents appear to me to be caused by arrogance on his part rather than clumsiness, in contrast to when Lewis understeers into someone due to actual clumsiness.
He doesn't need a button to pass, nor a dominant car to fight for championships until the last race, give him a decent car and he will be there even at over 40 years old. Pure f1 and spectacle, he has had many fierce battles and has not forced anyone against the wall. F1 needs him. He is my goat
@@minovskyparticles1834 Renault was the best car yes but only in the start of the season, thanks to the Mass-Dumper, Renault has won 7 of the first 9 races with 6 to Alonso and one win to Giancarlo, but after the ban of the mass-dumper Fernando didn't won a race since Canada Round 9 until Japan Round 17, and that win was gifted after MSC engine blows, Ferrari was much better car in the second half of the season. Buttom line Schumacher lost the championship because of the bad luck in the last two races, engine failure in Suzuka, puncture in Brazil.
@@ChristianWoolff ferrari was not able to regain their aerodynamic advantage in the previous season where in the r25 was better at it especially with the Michelin tires.. not having technical advantage is not bad luck. with that logic, does the current regulation mercedes has bad luck?
Yes sir. Right on point. This is exactly as it is, no statistics needed. If you think F1 is all about statistics, oh man you're so wrong. Watch the actual races, not the race finishes. Alonso is the raw proof that statistics don't matter. How? This video perfectly describes it. If after the video you STILL think Alonso is not any better than Hamilton or Schumacher just because of his statistics, you need to change your point of view towards F1.
Good video production and oration but I think the arguments and direction of the video went in a different path once you started talking about Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen's dominance, as if it lost focus of the original purpose of the video. Alonso is for sure one of the best drivers of this era but you could have added more about his retirement from F1 and his stints in WEC and Indycar to drive the point home about his status as an elite driver in all of motorsports.
2007 wasn't so much about luck or rather the lack thereof... it was his own team "racing against Alonso". Call it and act of "divine justice" that would cost 'em dearly. ;)
Luck? In 2007, 2010 and 2012 he had no reliability issues while his competitors had a lot of reliability issues. In 2005 he only won because Kimi had numerous reliability issues. Where exactly has Alonso been unlucky in those 3 seasons? You want to talk about Spa 2012 then Vettel got taken out in Malaysia by a lapped car, lost a win in Valencia due to broken engine, started from the pitlane in Abu Dhabi. Hamilton lost tons of wins in 2012 due to reliability issues. It’s hilarious how delusional Alonso fans are pretending he was unlucky when his rivals have 3-4 times the amount of bad luck.
Alonso will no doubt go down as one of the biggest what ifs in F1! He deserves way more championship than what he has, he he went to Red Bull in the V8 day he could have been a 6 time WDC!
He was in Works Factory Renault & Only won 2005/6 because of McLaren’s worst reliability. He was also beaten by a rookie. So no he is the most Over Rated driver in F1 history. He was also involved in Spygate - blackmailing the boss and Crashgate. He’s a piece of shit as far as Im concerned.
@@theelf152 1. Renault prioritized reliability over speed. 2. I won't shed any tears that McLaren got exposed for cheating. 3. Alonso didn't get "beaten" by any old rookie it was LEWIS HAMILTON! Also let's not forget Ron Dennis went to Hamilton's radio and said "Our battle is with Fernando not Kimi." Even Lewis recognizes Alonso's greatness.
In terms of driving skills, Alonso is the best, he knows how maximize the performance of the car, if hed a little better car then he can definitely give a hard time to Max or maybe he can fight for the championship.
@amarjeetsinha8733 What has prevented Alonso from achieving true greatness as an F1 racing driver, is having been seduced by 'The Dark Side'. His character failings are well documented and ultimate trust in his judgement will sadly, always elude him. "You can't teach an old dog new tricks!" Max also has his foibles. He's still in the process of losing his 'bull in a China shop' aggressiveness when wheel to wheel and not trusting to his acquired skill on the track. The time to judge is when he no longer has exclusive access to 'The Best Car' at RedBull; as happened to then 2xF GP WDC TITLE HOLDER Alonso, in 2007, when losing out to rookie team mate Hamilton at McLaren. OK, so here's a prospective scenario: RedBull Racing implodes as a team, after the exit of Christian Horner, despite the efforts of Daniel Ricciardo and Alex Albon. Imagine Max then moving to Mercedes in 2026 with 4/5 F1 WDC TITLES and getting rookie Andrea Kimi Andrelli as team mate . . .
in 2007 who was alonso team mate lewis the 7 time champion,in his first year he defeated alonso easly and become 2008 champion,history dont lie do you agree with me or not :)))
@@rembrandrembrand in 2007 both the drivers finished the season with the same points (109 points) and in 2008 Hamilton was in Maclaren (the fastest car of that year) and Alonso was in Renault (a slower car in 2008) but still he won 2 races with a slower car and finished the season with 61 points (5th position) . Edit : yes absolutely history doesn't lie.
@@amarjeetsinha8733 So basically, Alonso (the reigning WC) got his ass beaten by a rookie in his first ever F1 season in similar machinery then decided to be a baby about it and ran back to Renault where he finished 5th. Fixed it for you. He was also the first and only reigning WC to ever be beaten by a 1st first year rookie. You should probably add that to his list of accomplishments.
@@nicholasj5798 how did he got beaten?? Both had 109 points in 2007 ? Why are you are trying to disrespect Alonso ? If someone is talented then we should appreciate him. Did i disrespect Lewis anywhere? Don't do it brother 🙏🏻❤️
F1 is weird, because most of your performance depends on something that's completely out of your control. Imagine some sprinters are given the best running gear in the world and others have to wear wooden boots and baggy jeans
Alonso doesnt need a dominant car to win a championship, just give him a competitive car, he can do miracle ! Go Go Alonso ! He will always be my GOAT !
@@TheWil989 De La Rosa said that in 2012. The only thing he had proven in 2010-12 was that in a competitive car and a considerable point advantage remaining few races, he was not able to win, TRUE FACT!
Alonso is my favorit driver, but I wouldn't be sure he is the GOAT, but he is definitely very determined to win. His years in the Ferrari were magic, a great battle with Vettel and Red Bull. In the Aston he showed in rainy qualifications what he is still capable of.
I have always believed that Alonso is the best driver when he is on the grid. Unfortunately he has driving sub par cars, still the talent is undeniable.
One interesting thing that I like to think about is that for some reason, many great F1 drivers come from working class families, unlike most F1 drivers who come from priviledged families. - Schumacher, Hamilton, Vettel, Raikkonen, and Alonso, all came from working class families. I'm sure there have been more.
I mean to enter F1 you either have the money or the skills... And since they come from normal families they actually have to work harder on their driving skills.
He shouldn’t retired back then, he should have just focus on F1 but triple crown. He could have bring something more. The legend the only one Fernando Alonso ❤️
Wish every now and then they would have a special event where all the drivers use the same car. Seeing Alonso in Aston Martin last year really made me want to know who is actually the best driver.
@@foxmulder3748 Yeah I get that with the engineering side, but maybe like once every 4 years like world cup or the Olympics. Lets have the drivers settle this.
Imagine if Ferrari didn't cover Weber's pit stop in the last race or that season. Or if Grosjean didn't take him out in Spa. I can't remember which years that was. He's been so close so many times...
@@david.fernandez.fernandez So he could easily have 4 World Championships. It doesn't matter. Independently of how many titles he has, he's still an awesome driver.
If you want to talk about what if then what if Vettel and Hamilton didn’t have so many reliability issues in 2010 and 2012. What if Kimi didn’t have so many reliability issues in 2005? Vettel lost 3 wins due to broken engine / brakes in 2010 and got a puncture from pole in lap 1 in Silverstone. But you are crying over 1 pitstop 😂
The guy is driving around on dirt tracks, go kart tracks etc in his holiday. He's a freaking Legend. Might not have the numbers in F1, but we all know those are politics. Respect Fernando.
As a F1 fan I think talking about Alonso undeniable art of extracting the best out of a bad car and failing to mention his years ni Ferrari is a disgrace. As a Spaniard, I'm crying. Thanks.
I don't think AMR will get there. Usually Fernando's best cars were the ones he had when he joined a team, that were developed by other drivers. When he starts to work with the engineers, the car starts to get stuck and his teammates cannot drive it. That's the big Fernando's fault he cannot transmit good feelings to his engineers. People think Hamilton, Vettel, Verstappen or Schumacher were lucky on their teams. That's the difference between a good driver and a great driver.
In 2021, Alonso was the only driver besides Hamilton who overtake Verstappen on the track without technical problems or accidents. but hamilton drive best car, alonso 5th in speed alpine.
i have always said, its harder to drive a bad car, than i good car, and there for you need to use a grain of salt then you hear people hype the winners. like Hamilton. Fernando Alonso and i are born the same year.
Alonso may not have all the records in F1, but his longevity and pure driving skill, winning Lemans and dayton on his first try for both. He is the GREATEST driver of all time
The 2021 regs weren’t introduced to target Mercedes! It was brought in due to the 2020 cars being too fast for the tires. Take the 2020 British gp for example. And leading up to pre season testing everyone was thought the regs would hurt the high rake cars not the low rake ones.
In my case it is just the opposite. My favourite driver is Fernando, while my father supports Sainz. I don't like Sainz really much, but he has started the 2024 season pretty well... I also like Max, Lewis, Charles and Lando... but no one as Fernando. I grew watching Fernando and Lewis racing when I was a kid, since then I have seen all F1 seasons, except for 2020.
I think it’s irrefutable that Alonso is one of the best racing drivers of all time, just from how consistently competitive he is throughout his career. If he wasn’t it was never his fault, and he rarely ever makes errors(other than career decisions). His performances are worthy of multiple WC, his only Achilles heel is his poor team choices
@@nachorodriguezramos4371 please tell me how is he the best of the best if he qualified behind his team mate and needed his team to purposely break his teammates' gearbox so that he could start 1 place higher???
alonso has been great in f1... but has also shown he is a amazing driver outside of f1. lemans and daytona.... and to go to the indy 500, first time, and lead for a large number of laps before breaking down shows he is the elite of the elite. if he was in a car that was as competative as luis or max , neither would have won so many tites or races.....! ps. id love to see red bull give sergio perez's seat to fernando...!
Alonso had far tougher competition in his championship winning years driving an inferior car. Schumacher and Raikonen to name but two season long adversaries.
People who say max or lewis is better than alonso are really just hype fans. Just follows the train. Alonso is the best driver by far. He is made of drivers of yesteryear. From the 70s-80s mold. Wherever alonso goes. He ALWAYS makes a mid tier car able to make it to the top
Fernando Alonso is 42 years of age and is in the very twilight of his F1 racing career. He still has much to offer. Max Verstappen is 26 and although only 9 years in F1 compared to Alonso's 20 odd years, has still got a lot of race craft to learn. Each of these 2 racing drivers reflects the best of his era.
@@johndansby3620 Max Verstappen is pretty resilient, but is unlikely to be still focused solely on F1, assuming he wins 5 world titles. Will he still have the dominant car? Especially expecting that Adrian Newey snd assistants will be moving on very soon. Perhaps he will want to try his hand at 24 Hour Le Mans, or Indianapolis500, or Paris to Daksr Rally; or many others that Fernando Alonso told him about. So, while still competing, the number of F1 world titles won won't mean as much; unless it still stings that others conspire to nick one off you . . . as Sir Lewis Hamilton is still discovering, until of course Ferrari cough up $100 Million p.a. for your brand and your remaining 7 world titles . . .
"he still has a lot of racecraft to learn" jesus christ schumacher. You'd almost think you're the one driving these cars at the top of the pecking order with comments like that. Check yourself lil bro. You have no right to speak about verstappen like that, even Alonso himself wouldn't dare say that.
To add some small spot to this documental would be: Alonso did it without money or any great brand sponsoring him or politics from the british F1 lobby
lets not forget in 07' when alonso joined mclaren-mercedes with hamilton in his 1st year, they played favouritism with hamilton, and they tied in points. Also that same year mercedes was disqualified that season for the espionage controversy.
Nice video! I believe that the next F1 regulation changes will make F1 all about engines again, I prefer the actual era or the era previous to the hybrid engines. It will be very hard for teams to race with the engines they use were weak, aero is something easier to fix, just see McLaren last year.
Aero packages work in tandem with the engine, if you have a bulky inefficient engine layout/design chances are that you're not leaving enough space for your aero engineers to do the work needed (alpine for example) and you fall behind. I can see how you think aero is easier to fix but if you have large fundamental problems like engine cooling etc, your options are slimmer. So no, it is not perse easier to make the aero work on a car then the engine. Both of them have to tick like clockwork to make a championship winning car, the driver is the final piece in that. Look at Checo and Max difference.
@@danny7694 I totally agree with you! What I mean is that during some time the team if a little bit more power and reliability must reign. Remember 2014 all the problems that the Renault engine had, this could happen again with some engine supplier and like in 2014, a good aero package could be unsuccessful because it is not backed by a decent engine.
Your argument contradicts itself since Hamilton beat Alonso at McLaren. Also Lewis suffered reliability issues the year he lost to Rosberg and the last race was worth double points that year 😂
Except Hamilton beat rosberg 3-1 in the 4 seasons they were teamates. Plus Hamilton nearly beat Alonso on his rookie season at McLaren when he was treated badly as a 2nd driver..
Ok, hear me out. Im spanish so my opinion is more likely to be biased (here in spain the number "33" in reference to the dreamed 33th victory for Alonso has become a meme that surpasses even the F1 world), but I agree with you. Fernando is criminally underrated, and if he hasnt won more championships (there are some thar have been so close 😢) is because of his terrible luck and decisions in his career. I like to think in another reality he signed for that Red Bull contract in the 2000s. We will be telling another story 😭😭
did you watch the video. The car is foremost in a driver performance, Mansell had the FW14B famous for active suspension. It was actually much faster that other cars in corners because of it.
2:25 this is BS. Briatore made the deal with Alonso before his F1 debut, when he was still competing in F3000. He put him in a Minardi one season for learning, before putting him in Renault.
For me yeah the stuff he does like mind games and tactics so on are questionable but for me he is one of the few drivers that are filled with natural talent
If you noticed many F1 TH-camrs create more videos about Fernando Alonso's Greatness even F1 channel themselves create more videos about his greatness even though Hamilton has achieve more titles than Alonso
It's only post his comeback and the performance he's shown for which people are making videos and appreciating him. Before 2021 I think ppl forgot who he was after 2012. As for Hamilton he had his fair share of appreciation while dominating 6 years in a row. So kind of dumb of you to say how Alonso being appreciated now It's simple you perform you get the appreciation not much too it
@@erikdejong9728 in 2007 alonso was 2 time chapion in the same car,lewis crashed alonso,he was scared how much talent had lewis,so he left mclaren,history says everything :)))...
The conclusion you draw is opposite to the title of your video. The important missing talent in Alonso is the lack of creating synergy with the team. I regard Fernando as one of the greatest, but you mentioned exactly the reason why he failed at so many places.
His work ethics are fenomenal. Beeing a doble world champion and too drive practicaly the slowest cars on the grid for a decade! The best ever by far, he never in his whole career had the dominant or the fastest car and he still took 2 championhips and beeing second 3 or 4 times. Extraordinary from him. I really hope for some big drivers change, where maybe he could have a sit in Mercedes or Red Bull even for just one season. He deserved that he is the true spirit of racing and Formula 1!
"WHY FERNANDO IS BETTER THEN MAX AND LEWIS" yeh yeh, very unbiased. very welll structured, as he talks about nothing to back that title up. YEP VERY GOOD.
He’s the reason I never feel bad for leclerc when people say he deserves a “better car” from Ferrari to win a WDC. This man drove a way worse car to near WDCs so with Leclerc sounds like a skill issue bud
Its still funny how before lewis had 7 titles, shumacher was the best because he had the most titles, poles and wins. Then along comes lewis and he passes all of those and now he is not the goat it is the car. So please explain how it changed now. So if fernando is better than lewis he would be the goat. It would go fernando, lewis, michael and then max.
@JumprsOfficial duhhh people have opinions. I just need someone to explain it to me because it always seems to change when it comes to lewis and we all know why.
He is not...Alonso is overrated just because he is a veteran of this sport and his arrogance inspires greatness. I;m not saying he is not good, but I see Max better.
@@lockydude007 if Alonso was good 20 years ago, it doesn't mean he is the same now...and the comparison was with Verstappen and Hamilton...both have more championships than Alonso. Objectively both are better, subjectively there is no debate every fan loves his idol.
Although I think Fernando is one of the greatest, let's not forget he was beaten by Lewis in his rookie year at McLaren (but barely) and by Esteban Ocon last year (with some bad luck). Is he better than Senna? I don't know...
As an alonso fan...maybe sure id agree overall hes better than Hamilton,but max is so good its unbelievable...tho to be fair max will never be in those older cars so alonso managing to be 21 years on top is unmatched
BEST DRIVER OF XXI CENTURY. He always had to battle his wins because he never had the BEST car. Other drivers had/have more easy to win because they had/have the BEST car: Hamilton, Vettel & Vestappen.
the strongest for me was Alonso. even when he was at the back he managed to overtake and win which if other drivers like lewis or max would have been in those positions and with the less than perfect car they would have caused disasters. It's easy to race with the best car on the lot and be in front without anyone bothering you. unfortunately he lost several years with mediocre teams such as the Renault of 08/09 and with the Mc Laren of the year 2015/16. it also takes luck and he didn't have much of it with the stables

If all the cars were the same I honestly think he would have dominated.
Like when he said in the press conference joking with hamilton that he wanted to be a FIA boss and said "equal engines" XD
Definitely an all-time great and the best driver since the days of Senna/Prost/Schumacher. I am a massive fan of Alonso but I must admit though, Verstappen is the only driver that has excited me as much since Fernando first appeared in F1. If not for bad team choices or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time (exactly the opposite of Hamilton for eg), Fernando would definitely have had more titles.
I like Verstappen too, but I think he's been a bit clumsy on wheel to wheel racing. While he's incredibly fast on the main racing lines, there have been instances where his aggressive style has led to incidents. I do believe he has the potential to refine his skills, but for that he needs more experience competing with adversaries with cars on par with his.
@Varblomst I'm a max fan but those incidents appear to me to be caused by arrogance on his part rather than clumsiness, in contrast to when Lewis understeers into someone due to actual clumsiness.
@@magnusVarblomstyep. he's not a wheel to wheel driver but he's lucky that this era doesn't require that.
I feel so lucky because i still watch Alonso.
He doesn't need a button to pass, nor a dominant car to fight for championships until the last race, give him a decent car and he will be there even at over 40 years old. Pure f1 and spectacle, he has had many fierce battles and has not forced anyone against the wall. F1 needs him. He is my goat
Amen
Same here my fav driver ever, i don't support any team just following Fernando wherever he goes
Lol, he literally won his 2 championship on the best car during that time..
@@minovskyparticles1834 Renault was the best car yes but only in the start of the season, thanks to the Mass-Dumper, Renault has won 7 of the first 9 races with 6 to Alonso and one win to Giancarlo, but after the ban of the mass-dumper Fernando didn't won a race since Canada Round 9 until Japan Round 17, and that win was gifted after MSC engine blows, Ferrari was much better car in the second half of the season.
Buttom line Schumacher lost the championship because of the bad luck in the last two races, engine failure in Suzuka, puncture in Brazil.
@@ChristianWoolff ferrari was not able to regain their aerodynamic advantage in the previous season where in the r25 was better at it especially with the Michelin tires.. not having technical advantage is not bad luck. with that logic, does the current regulation mercedes has bad luck?
Impossible to say who's better. Alonso 2012 was epic
The Great Fernando Alonso is the only reason why I still watch F1! Grande Fernando , El Matador, El Samurai 👺🔥 The GOAT 🐐

🎼 ...asturias, patria querida... 🎶
Yes sir. Right on point. This is exactly as it is, no statistics needed. If you think F1 is all about statistics, oh man you're so wrong. Watch the actual races, not the race finishes. Alonso is the raw proof that statistics don't matter. How? This video perfectly describes it. If after the video you STILL think Alonso is not any better than Hamilton or Schumacher just because of his statistics, you need to change your point of view towards F1.
Good video production and oration but I think the arguments and direction of the video went in a different path once you started talking about Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen's dominance, as if it lost focus of the original purpose of the video. Alonso is for sure one of the best drivers of this era but you could have added more about his retirement from F1 and his stints in WEC and Indycar to drive the point home about his status as an elite driver in all of motorsports.
I feel 100% that the video lost its way at the end
This is 100% ai written like chat gpt
Its not one of the best of this era, its the best.
@@LtCommanderTatonot better than Schumacher or Hamilton.
@@Incognitoblanco7 He proved enough he is. Outperformed in a wide array of cars over all his career. The rest needed dominant cars to shine.
Alonso would have been a 5x World Champion if luck was on his side in 2007, 2010 & 2012
2007 wasn't so much about luck or rather the lack thereof... it was his own team "racing against Alonso".
Call it and act of "divine justice" that would cost 'em dearly. ;)
He choose not be be lucky, flawed man, great driver. Driving is not enough, see Senna, Prost, Hamilton, Shumacher, Verstappen
Luck?
In 2007, 2010 and 2012 he had no reliability issues while his competitors had a lot of reliability issues.
In 2005 he only won because Kimi had numerous reliability issues.
Where exactly has Alonso been unlucky in those 3 seasons?
You want to talk about Spa 2012 then Vettel got taken out in Malaysia by a lapped car, lost a win in Valencia due to broken engine, started from the pitlane in Abu Dhabi. Hamilton lost tons of wins in 2012 due to reliability issues.
It’s hilarious how delusional Alonso fans are pretending he was unlucky when his rivals have 3-4 times the amount of bad luck.
And if luck wasn't on his side in 2005 and 2006 he could have 0 titles.
I'm a huge Alonso fan, he's my favourite. But this video's writing really does seem like it's ChatGPT lol
Alonso will no doubt go down as one of the biggest what ifs in F1! He deserves way more championship than what he has, he he went to Red Bull in the V8 day he could have been a 6 time WDC!
In merc at dominance periode he would be 8 time wdc...
He was in Works Factory Renault & Only won 2005/6 because of McLaren’s worst reliability. He was also beaten by a rookie. So no he is the most Over Rated driver in F1 history. He was also involved in Spygate - blackmailing the boss and Crashgate. He’s a piece of shit as far as Im concerned.
@@theelf152
1. Renault prioritized reliability over speed.
2. I won't shed any tears that McLaren got exposed for cheating.
3. Alonso didn't get "beaten" by any old rookie it was LEWIS HAMILTON! Also let's not forget Ron Dennis went to Hamilton's radio and said "Our battle is with Fernando not Kimi." Even Lewis recognizes Alonso's greatness.
@@alvarorey9308Of course Lewis is going to say he’s great. Whats he can going to say “I beat a loser”??
2007, 2010, and 2012 titles were taken from him, he deserves those titles.
In terms of driving skills, Alonso is the best, he knows how maximize the performance of the car, if hed a little better car then he can definitely give a hard time to Max or maybe he can fight for the championship.
@amarjeetsinha8733
What has prevented Alonso from achieving true greatness as an F1 racing driver, is having been seduced by 'The Dark Side'.
His character failings are well documented and ultimate trust in his judgement will sadly, always elude him.
"You can't teach an old dog new tricks!"
Max also has his foibles. He's still in the process of losing his 'bull in a China shop' aggressiveness when wheel to wheel and not trusting to his acquired skill on the track.
The time to judge is when he no longer has exclusive access to 'The Best Car' at RedBull; as happened to then 2xF GP WDC TITLE HOLDER Alonso, in 2007, when losing out to rookie team mate Hamilton at McLaren.
OK, so here's a prospective scenario: RedBull Racing implodes as a team, after the exit of Christian Horner, despite the efforts of Daniel Ricciardo and Alex Albon.
Imagine Max then moving to Mercedes in 2026 with 4/5 F1 WDC TITLES and getting rookie Andrea Kimi Andrelli as team mate . . .
in 2007 who was alonso team mate lewis the 7 time champion,in his first year he defeated alonso easly and become 2008 champion,history dont lie do you agree with me or not :)))
@@rembrandrembrand in 2007 both the drivers finished the season with the same points (109 points) and in 2008 Hamilton was in Maclaren (the fastest car of that year) and Alonso was in Renault (a slower car in 2008) but still he won 2 races with a slower car and finished the season with 61 points (5th position) .
Edit : yes absolutely history doesn't lie.
@@amarjeetsinha8733 So basically, Alonso (the reigning WC) got his ass beaten by a rookie in his first ever F1 season in similar machinery then decided to be a baby about it and ran back to Renault where he finished 5th. Fixed it for you.
He was also the first and only reigning WC to ever be beaten by a 1st first year rookie. You should probably add that to his list of accomplishments.
@@nicholasj5798 how did he got beaten?? Both had 109 points in 2007 ? Why are you are trying to disrespect Alonso ? If someone is talented then we should appreciate him. Did i disrespect Lewis anywhere? Don't do it brother 🙏🏻❤️
F1 is weird, because most of your performance depends on something that's completely out of your control. Imagine some sprinters are given the best running gear in the world and others have to wear wooden boots and baggy jeans
Alonso doesnt need a dominant car to win a championship, just give him a competitive car, he can do miracle ! Go Go Alonso ! He will always be my GOAT !
Hahhaha, good joke! I remember De La Rosa saying "Fernando is the best but he will only win when he drives the best car" like any other driver ahahah
@@PabloOlivera-my7wm It may be a joke to you, but to many, he has proven in his 2010 and 2012 season. hahaha
@@TheWil989 De La Rosa said that in 2012. The only thing he had proven in 2010-12 was that in a competitive car and a considerable point advantage remaining few races, he was not able to win, TRUE FACT!
Alonso is my favorit driver, but I wouldn't be sure he is the GOAT, but he is definitely very determined to win.
His years in the Ferrari were magic, a great battle with Vettel and Red Bull. In the Aston he showed in rainy qualifications what he is still capable of.
I have always believed that Alonso is the best driver when he is on the grid. Unfortunately he has driving sub par cars, still the talent is undeniable.
Alonso is undoubtedly the best f1 driver ever in my opinion!
One interesting thing that I like to think about is that for some reason, many great F1 drivers come from working class families, unlike most F1 drivers who come from priviledged families.
- Schumacher, Hamilton, Vettel, Raikkonen, and Alonso, all came from working class families. I'm sure there have been more.
I mean to enter F1 you either have the money or the skills... And since they come from normal families they actually have to work harder on their driving skills.
He shouldn’t retired back then, he should have just focus on F1 but triple crown. He could have bring something more. The legend the only one Fernando Alonso ❤️
Wish every now and then they would have a special event where all the drivers use the same car. Seeing Alonso in Aston Martin last year really made me want to know who is actually the best driver.
Answer: FerrrRRRRRRnandoooOOOO AAALLLLLLoooOONSOOOOOOOO.
joke aside, agree. would be fun. But i Love the engineering part of F! too much.
@@foxmulder3748 Yeah I get that with the engineering side, but maybe like once every 4 years like world cup or the Olympics. Lets have the drivers settle this.
Imagine if Ferrari didn't cover Weber's pit stop in the last race or that season. Or if Grosjean didn't take him out in Spa.
I can't remember which years that was. He's been so close so many times...

The other one from Weber was really bad strategy , IT was in 2010
@@david.fernandez.fernandez So he could easily have 4 World Championships.
It doesn't matter. Independently of how many titles he has, he's still an awesome driver.
@@marcoshernandez1543the crash with Kimi was his own fault. Kimi was alongside and Alonso just pushed him off the track.
If you want to talk about what if then what if Vettel and Hamilton didn’t have so many reliability issues in 2010 and 2012. What if Kimi didn’t have so many reliability issues in 2005?
Vettel lost 3 wins due to broken engine / brakes in 2010 and got a puncture from pole in lap 1 in Silverstone.
But you are crying over 1 pitstop 😂
The guy is driving around on dirt tracks, go kart tracks etc in his holiday. He's a freaking Legend. Might not have the numbers in F1, but we all know those are politics. Respect Fernando.
As a F1 fan I think talking about Alonso undeniable art of extracting the best out of a bad car and failing to mention his years ni Ferrari is a disgrace. As a Spaniard, I'm crying. Thanks.
Once again I would wish him to take a title . I don’t think Aston is there yet. I think he deserves all the respect like this video here gives us
I don't think AMR will get there. Usually Fernando's best cars were the ones he had when he joined a team, that were developed by other drivers. When he starts to work with the engineers, the car starts to get stuck and his teammates cannot drive it. That's the big Fernando's fault he cannot transmit good feelings to his engineers.
People think Hamilton, Vettel, Verstappen or Schumacher were lucky on their teams. That's the difference between a good driver and a great driver.
In 2021, Alonso was the only driver besides Hamilton who overtake Verstappen on the track without technical problems or accidents. but hamilton drive best car, alonso 5th in speed alpine.
what? When did Alonso pass Max on track in an Alpine? That's just a straight up white lie.

He doesn’t have many world championships only because in ferrari he lost for unlucky reasons
And in 2007 he had to fight against his team, McLaren.
If u judge Alonso based on the Statistics, u dont know who Fernando Alonso is
i have always said, its harder to drive a bad car, than i good car, and there for you need to use a grain of salt then you hear people hype the winners. like Hamilton. Fernando Alonso and i are born the same year.
Alonso may not have all the records in F1, but his longevity and pure driving skill, winning Lemans and dayton on his first try for both. He is the GREATEST driver of all time
I like how Alonso diehard fans live in their own reality.
The 2021 regs weren’t introduced to target Mercedes! It was brought in due to the 2020 cars being too fast for the tires. Take the 2020 British gp for example. And leading up to pre season testing everyone was thought the regs would hurt the high rake cars not the low rake ones.
While my favorite current driver is Sainz, my dad's favorite is Alonso.
In my case it is just the opposite. My favourite driver is Fernando, while my father supports Sainz. I don't like Sainz really much, but he has started the 2024 season pretty well...
I also like Max, Lewis, Charles and Lando... but no one as Fernando. I grew watching Fernando and Lewis racing when I was a kid, since then I have seen all F1 seasons, except for 2020.
I think it’s irrefutable that Alonso is one of the best racing drivers of all time, just from how consistently competitive he is throughout his career. If he wasn’t it was never his fault, and he rarely ever makes errors(other than career decisions). His performances are worthy of multiple WC, his only Achilles heel is his poor team choices
If Fernando can't do it, nobody can.
Alonso is literally the best of the best

Fernando is the most complete driver in motorsport history. F1 Champion and WEC Champion, the highest level at motorsport
Alonso had far tougher competition in his championship winning years driving an inferior car. Schumacher and Raikonen to name but two season long adversaries.
Great video, deserves more views
Alonso, Senna and Verstappen are 1 level above from the rest from 90s till now imo.
Not sure about Verstappen
Hamilton, Shumacher? and the best of all Jim Clark
People who say max or lewis is better than alonso are really just hype fans. Just follows the train. Alonso is the best driver by far. He is made of drivers of yesteryear. From the 70s-80s mold. Wherever alonso goes. He ALWAYS makes a mid tier car able to make it to the top
Fernando Alonso is 42 years of age and is in the very twilight of his F1 racing career. He still has much to offer.
Max Verstappen is 26 and although only 9 years in F1 compared to Alonso's 20 odd years, has still got a lot of race craft to learn.
Each of these 2 racing drivers reflects the best of his era.
I agree…and by the time Max learns, he will have 5 straight WDCs…equaling Schumacher.
@@johndansby3620
Max Verstappen is pretty resilient, but is unlikely to be still focused solely on F1, assuming he wins 5 world titles.
Will he still have the dominant car? Especially expecting that Adrian Newey snd assistants will be moving on very soon.
Perhaps he will want to try his hand at 24 Hour Le Mans, or Indianapolis500, or Paris to Daksr Rally; or many others that Fernando Alonso told him about.
So, while still competing, the number of F1 world titles won won't mean as much; unless it still stings that others conspire to nick one off you . . . as Sir Lewis Hamilton is still discovering, until of course Ferrari cough up $100 Million p.a. for your brand and your remaining 7 world titles . . .
"he still has a lot of racecraft to learn" jesus christ schumacher. You'd almost think you're the one driving these cars at the top of the pecking order with comments like that. Check yourself lil bro. You have no right to speak about verstappen like that, even Alonso himself wouldn't dare say that.
Great video, thanks for sharing these information and your research :)
To add some small spot to this documental would be: Alonso did it without money or any great brand sponsoring him or politics from the british F1 lobby
lets not forget in 07' when alonso joined mclaren-mercedes with hamilton in his 1st year, they played favouritism with hamilton, and they tied in points. Also that same year mercedes was disqualified that season for the espionage controversy.
Alonso is the best
alonso to redbull 2025 🙏
Its more likely he goes to Mercedes imo
Alonso is a prime example of:
"Stats don't really show fully how good a Driver really is"
i always thought Alonso is the real GOAT, people only see numbers, we should look at what he did with what he had
THAT'S SOO TRUEE 😭
Nice video! I believe that the next F1 regulation changes will make F1 all about engines again, I prefer the actual era or the era previous to the hybrid engines. It will be very hard for teams to race with the engines they use were weak, aero is something easier to fix, just see McLaren last year.
Aero packages work in tandem with the engine, if you have a bulky inefficient engine layout/design chances are that you're not leaving enough space for your aero engineers to do the work needed (alpine for example) and you fall behind. I can see how you think aero is easier to fix but if you have large fundamental problems like engine cooling etc, your options are slimmer. So no, it is not perse easier to make the aero work on a car then the engine. Both of them have to tick like clockwork to make a championship winning car, the driver is the final piece in that. Look at Checo and Max difference.
@@danny7694 I totally agree with you! What I mean is that during some time the team if a little bit more power and reliability must reign. Remember 2014 all the problems that the Renault engine had, this could happen again with some engine supplier and like in 2014, a good aero package could be unsuccessful because it is not backed by a decent engine.
He is my favourite driver, and he is the best.
Put him in the same car as anybody else and he will win.
Totally agree!! I would add…Nico Rosberg defeated Lewis with the same car and won one championship….
What a legend and inspiration!!
Your argument contradicts itself since Hamilton beat Alonso at McLaren. Also Lewis suffered reliability issues the year he lost to Rosberg and the last race was worth double points that year 😂

Fernando is criminally underrated, and if he hasnt won more championships (there are some thar have been so close 😢) is because of his terrible luck and decisions in his career.

BEST DRIVER OF XXI CENTURY. He always had to battle his wins because he never had the BEST car.
Other drivers had/have more easy to win because they had/have the BEST car: Hamilton, Vettel & Vestappen.
the strongest for me was Alonso. even when he was at the back he managed to overtake and win which if other drivers like lewis or max would have been in those positions and with the less than perfect car they would have caused disasters. It's easy to race with the best car on the lot and be in front without anyone bothering you. unfortunately he lost several years with mediocre teams such as the Renault of 08/09 and with the Mc Laren of the year 2015/16. it also takes luck and he didn't have much of it with the stables
