The fact he won Le Mans twice, Daytona once, became a WEC champion and nearly won a Dakar rally stage during his break shows he never actually took a break from racing
Never took a break from being an absolute GOAT that he is 😎
and dont forget he almost won indy in his first attempt thanks to engine failure
@@sumitblogs15 he did have fastest average lap time on indi 500 before failure
Man really is the current F1 driver who is closest to achieve triple crown, if that Indy failure didn't have happened he would've been the triple crown winner.
The Dakar participation was really fun. You could tell he was underprepared compared to other drivers but still put in a very valiant effort.
He will probably come down as one of the top 5 best drivers of all time. Such a shame that he couldn't prove it all these years, we have probably missed many great battles with Lewis and Seb.
For me, he is the GOAT. Unfortunately his stats wouldn't even put him in the GOAT debate like michael or lewis. But the same holds true for senna and clark too.
@@prateekgill27 The truth is f1 is splot to so many eras, so different cars and points systemms, etc... But he is one of the GOATS for sure as its almost impossible to call X driver the GOAT
@@prateekgill27If he retired now I would put Verstappen up there as well.
We see how easy it is for a great driver to win with the best car. Schumacher did it. Hamilton did it. Verstappen is doing it. All legendary drivers, but none have had the misfortune that Fernando has had. Taking the title fight to the last race in 2007, 2010 and 2012 is something that very few drivers are capable of. The longer Fernando drives, the less the numbers seem to matter, and the more his on-track performance speaks to how mighty he is. Two championships is not nothing. Jim Clark had two. Alberto Ascari had two. Graham Hill had two. He is in good company.
Top5? Top 3 easely
With the 2023 season, I realised that Fernando might actually be the F1 Driver of all time. I didn‘t like him that much some time ago but I‘ve come to realise that he actually is the greatest of all time.
:)
Alonso is truly a special talent similar to Ayrton Senna
He never quited racing, after leaving F1 he won le mans 2 times and he also won Daytona. He lost Indy 500 because of engine failure, he was very close to achieve the triple crown 👑. He is a true GOAT of racing and seeing Alonso on podium in F1 again is simply amazing 🤩🤩 I hope he wins a championship next year 💚💚
Spot on
I started watching F1 in 2010 as a kid, but from 2016 I watch it more closly, not just "I watch it"
For me Fernando was a former champion, he was there like Kimi, but didn't delivered results and was a toxic people as rumors said, he always wanted to be the team leader, but team radios didn't reflected to that.
When he retired, I was just OK, we are probably don't see him anymore.
Comeback - I also thought why sign an old driver who surrounded by so much trouble.
His podium in Qatar showed me he still worthy for F1, but this 2023 his true talent
Alonso is Racecraft. A very living legend of the sport.
as a proud season one dts/covid f1 fan i was so excited to see alonso come back!
Fernando is a fucking legend. Not only in F1 he's one of the best drivers in racing sports of all time. One of the 3 best drivers of all times.
Ferrari: Where careers go to die.
Once every 45 years they get it right, but if im a sucessful f1 driver, i avoid the red car.
He was born to race.
Alonso is on the all time F1 podium with Fangio and Senna.
The fact that Alonso is very positive now shows that it wasn't a character flaw in Fernando that he happened to be toxic at times in his previous stint in f1, the situation just got too frustrating to him especially at McLaren. I bet that top tier drivers like Max, Lewis, Charles etc. would be just as pissed as Fernando was if they were given the 2nd worst car on the grid for multiple years.
My all favourite driver all time ❤he is the best
I hate how everyone wants to say they need to go for a junior driver. If the junior drivers are good enough then they will get the ride. It’s why I hate when people don’t was Daniel back because they think he is taking a seat from a up and coming talent. Do we really need to just not have someone who has won before in a car to always watch someone who usually takes a long time to be experienced, or isn’t what we thought they were crashing and in the back? I know new drivers do need chances, but that doesn’t mean once you leave because the cars you are driving don’t fit you and are slow, that you don’t deserve another chance.
How? Easy, by kicking ass and taking names!
He is consider a complete driver, yet nothing is said about his sportsmanship and conduct, if we want to agree that F1 is a sport, then we must reward or criticize the sportsmanship and athletic character of the sportsmen in the sport
Alonso still holds a grudge against Sir Lewis Hamilton and the English F1 media for he says that they are bias to English based teams and drivers.
He has a lot of contribution towards not achieving what his potential holds
He can drive, no doubt
So let me get this straight. Alonso was always the same, but because he was honest some of the media painted him in a bad light. Now those same media are changing their mind and it's Alonso that rebuilt his legacy....
TOP 5 ALL TIME!
Also, I wonder if things would have been different had it not been for that fateful day in Spa in 2019 (Alonso pretty much got the Renault drive because Renault had no F1-ready juniors following Anthonine Hubert's death).
All these f1 youtubers have fancy titles and time and time again I click knowing that these dudes sitting behind a camera have no more of an idea than we do and proceed to watch a couple minutes of a summary of **insert driver's** career.
Not sure it makes sense to characterize the Renault engine in the McLaren that RB had been desperate to ditch. With the slightest change in luck, FA could have at least 7 titles. I think McLaren made a huge mistake IMO not waiting for Honda to come good because they were PAYING McLaren $50m per year to run their free engines.
i wa quite hyped when fernando was annouced
Someone had once said: Alonso is never out of his prime
his car did
Alonso doesn't have a prime, his carier itself is a prime
I think 2007 was the only year when some of his performances weren't the best. He finished out of podium places in the best car on the grid, even if we take into account all the McLaren shenanigans
@@dmytrothecat8317 Only 1 season as the most experienced driver in f1 is still incredible.
he's been in his prime the last 22 years mate
I think Alonso said it best when asked about Max debutting. "Dont judge the driver on their identity card, judge them by their performance."
I hope one day I see him and Max in a Le Man's entry
The true explanation for their bromance. Alonso was one of the very few that supported a 17 year old Max to enter F1
@@martimxavier9690 Fernando was the youngest in many (well all actually) F1 related records at the time, he simply pushed for someone else to get a chance like him.
ALONSO is my favorite driver. What's poetic is that during 2015-17 Honda were the reasons Alonso couldn't win and in 2023 Honda are again the reason ALONSO couldn't win in a different way.
That m ade me laugh😂
Wouldn't all blame it on Honda ;) But feel with you....the Honda / McLaren days where HARD...
tbh I don't think Mclaren can ever win a championship again. I don't understand how that team functions. All the budget in the world, all the facilities, Great drivers and still sh*t to be frank.
True, and maybe, only maybe, Honda will be the reason that Alonso will win in 2026 the WDC
@@juannacenta4161 🤞 all the way ❤️❤️
Couldn't be happier to see him spend his final years at the front. Feels like the sport was robbed of alonso vs vettel vs Hamilton throughout the 2010s
It nearly happened throughout 2012 season, too bad mclaren at that time had ferrari 2022 level pitstop and strategy
@kevinhanandi not only that hut shit reliability, McLaren always had awful reliability since the 2000's, it's a legendary team bit goddamn it's shit
Final years? He is going to be in F1 for at least 2 more seasons, I am sure.
@@jurekgadzinowski2895 2 more seasons is 2 more years, which means final years, what are you on about
@@GameOver-nm2us I mean we do not know if Aston is going to performs in these 2 but yeah sure
Alonso's choice to leave McLaren was so justified. That team has truly lost its way, now they are perpetual underachievers that ruin the careers of top level and talented drivers. It's a night and day difference to Aston Martin, a team that actually seems to be going somewhere. It's bringing out the best in Fernando, which we rarely got to see at McLaren and Alpine
2018 exposed McLaren really hard. Now they have no engine supplier to blame
I still remember McLaren boasting that they had the best aero of any team on the grid and were being held back solely by the Honda engine, I then remember the very next year when they switched back to Mercedes engines, were still nowhere near the pace of a front running team and at COTA one of the McLarens was even overtaken by both Honda-powered Toro Rossos on the same main straight. McLaren definitely followed in the footsteps of Williams and I don't see them coming back any time soon, Ferrari are right on the precipice of going the same way.
@@rvfharrier Ferrari can design OK cards that are upper midfield to podium contenders (last year at the begining championship contenders) but their stratey...
@@imibuks-replit Which is why I said they're on the precipice. They're very inconsistent from one year to the next but they are still able to make good cars capable of race wins some years, though not good enough for championships. There's definitely a very real chance that they could drop back into the midfield and never return though and for anyone thinking their name and legacy is simply too big for them to fail, anyone would have said the same about Williams in the 90s.
I’m worried about Zack Brown at the helm too, he seems a bit too American (speaking as an American) in that he’s spreading the brand pretty thin with the expansion to so many other racing disciplines
I still remember the bandwagon in 2020 who thought Renault was making a wrong move by taking Alonso instead of promoting a junior driver lol
@@icebear3828 why doesnt that surprise me lol
There is video from Aldas and Tommo speaking about Alonsos return.. haha
@@mustafaamini2184what was their conlusion at the time?
@@icebear3828Tommo lost so much credibility for me during that period, any true F1 fan would have known that Alonso was still fast
@@tilltronje1623Aldas was confident it would go well as he's an Alonso fan but Tommo kept going on about how it was a bad move and Alonso would be "stealing" a younger driver's opportunities when he's "way past his prime". You can also check Tommo's 2021 predictions, I think he had Alonso in like 14th in the standings?
Alonso wouldn't be remember by his number like Schumacher, Vettel and Hamilton
But he will be remember by his own talent and excitement he brings every race also the respect his fellow driver give to him like Hakinen, Mansell, and Hunt
Sadly 90% of F1 fans mostly look at statistics. For me Hamilton is 5th or 6th all time in term of ability, I personally would put Clark, Alonso, Verstappen and Schumacher ahead of him. Surely he is the most succesful and arguably the biggest name, but his statistics cannot convince me he is higher up. If Alonso had the same cars from 2014 until 2020 I doubt Hamilton would even be a 7-time world champion at all, it is all about the performance with a given car.
@@thedutchexposer😂 wow 👏🏻 max verstappen got direct entry bcz of his dad without any struggles and ham smashed everyone in Karting day itself .get well soon kid
@@Sachin-vn1mpwdym Max smashed everyone in karting and in 2014 in f3 he was 3rd in his first season in single seaters while everyone else had years in Formula Renault or something similar still he had the most wins was definitely the fastest and finished 3rd because of reliability team blunders and his own mistakes (because it was his first year in single seaters)
@@random_username_thats_not_used as far as i know, Max is the only driver that can force Red Bull to use their 2nd team as their bargaining chip to get his signature, or else he would end up as Mercedez junior driver
@@antasena6043 it wasn't Max that forced them Redbull did it by themselves because they didn't want to lose him they offered the only thing Mercedes couldn't an f1 seat (Mercedes were planning to fund his GP2 career and then probably use their influence to get him in a Mercedes powered team) and I think the plan was always to promote him in Redbull in 2016 but because Kvyat outscored Ricciardo in 2015 they couldn't do it immediately so they waited until Kvyat had a bad weekend and then they did the swap
I wish him another championship. Hardest working man in racing, to paraphrase.
Hot take, the most exciting Ferrari driver to watch ever since Michael left was Fernando.
Totally agreed he made the hype
Not a hot take. For me as a Ferrari fan for a long time, I was never more confident when Alonso was at the wheel, there was always hope of good results or even championships. Kimi and Vettel while having more natural pace, were incomplete in other areas. In recent years if Leclerc or Vettel were leading races I was still nervous, due to their error-prone nature.
@@Jamo_7811vetted more natural pace 😂😂, he just has more talent for spinning cars
@@AngelTorres-xc5uc considering Vettel has more poles than Alonso and kimi then yes. Qualifying is an indicator of pure pace.
He is unquestionably *the* most entertaining driver on the grid - his radio chit chat, snarky confidence and in-race strategizing is an absolute delight to watch. He singlehandedly made this snooze-fest of a season watchable. I can't wait for Aston Martin to give him a car that can legitimately challenge the Red Bulls - that's when we will see some real sparks fly.
Not gonna happen. Can already see Aston Martin are falling off, will soon be 4th
@@PatternAgainstUser1oh boy how am i going to enjoy when you are proved wrong
@@Bisstoro They're third already and have lost points to both Merc and Ferrari the last two weekends. I'm already right
@@PatternAgainstUser1 the fact that they are losing points proves that they have the 4th car, sure buddy u right it has nothing to do stroll
@@Bisstoro this aged poorly
He is the type of driver who doesn't need to improve his talent to match a car. His cars need to be good enough and worthy to be driven by him. If he can't win a championship or a race in a car, then no other driver can.
that’s why I really don’t get people saying Vettel would win in the F14T of the 2012 Ferrari
@@beanlentil those people are delusional. Fernando destroyed kimi in the F14T in 2014 in a way even vettel couldn't do from 2015-2018 at ferrari. That's enough of an evidence as to why Fernando is better than vettel
@@beanlentilEvery single person who really knows about F1 will undoubtedly rate Fernando higher than vettel.
@@prateekgill27 I’m a Kimi fan thanks to Ciaron Smith
but I cannot deny, Kimi has a far narrower operating window than Alonso and Hamilton
@@beanlentil Kimi was brilliant when everything was as he liked, but adaptability and consistency are very important to me. But in terms of raw pace he's better than anybody this century.
In my opinion Fernando is in the top 5 drivers in history, I watch F1 for 35 years and I have not seen such a complete driver, Felipe Masa says that there is no one like Alonso, not even Michael was so perfect, I can only compare him with Senna.
I think MAX is the closest. But yeah he is in the 🐐 tier for me.
@@praveenrawat9092 Max has not been close to winning a championship without the best or closely second best car yet. If Max pulls a 2012 style year, he'll be the best of this century. He has the potential.
@@MrThedestroy3r he won 2021 with second best car. Might not be the legitimate championship but still won it against the mighty mercedes and unbeatable Hamilton. For me Max is the greatest driver I have ever seen and Fernando is my fav.
@@praveenrawat9092 Fernando did the same in 2006, Renault was only faster at the beggining of the season. Against michael. Making ZERO mistakes and with one of the best ever drives in the wet at hungary until his car failed. Max is as good (at least), but needs to prove himself with not the fastest or almost the fastest car.
@@F1gilles 2009
He's definitely going to down as one of the best motorsport drivers of the modern era simply because he can jump in a completely different car from the last one and be right up there.
EDIT: Also, Alonso's blown past all of the young drivers by EMBRACING the meme culture more than most of the grid. Charles, Alex, George and even Lando have matured somewhat whereas Alonso has aged down!
Alonso is the most complete driver in modern motorsport. He's a lot like Jim Clark where he can be fast in any racing series & be competitive in slower cars
For me personally, Fernando Alonso is “The Greatest Racing Driver Of All Time”.
Grande El Samurai 👺🔥🔥
This channel is becoming more of a Fernando fan channel...
and I like it
The best thing that happened to F1 with Nando in McLaren was the radio messages. Pure comedy gold
Aston Martin also had nice radios
"The engine feels good... much slower than before. Amazing"
Real ones always knew Alonso was this good. They didn't need to see him in a top car again to know how good he is.
That's what I mean. Those who knew F1, already knew Alons's greatness.
people forget that this guy beat GOAT Schumacher in his prime, people forget fights with Schumacher, Alonso is and he will always be one of best drivers. For me Alonso is in box with Senna, Schumaher,Raikonnen, Hakinnen, Max Verstappen.
I was really getting tired of the agism from the majority of fans especially around Alonso. If you need any physical proof that you can still succeed in your later racing years in F1, look no further than Fernando Alonso. I'm so relieved that he's silenced and proven so many people wrong already!
Hamilton is motivated to keep racing specifically because of Fernando.
He’s almost 20 years older than Max, if only they had the same cars! That’s a race I would pay a lot to watch!
My dad who started watching f1 in 2020 said to me “there is one guy I’d like to see in a top car and that’s Alonso”
People will debate who the f1 GOAT is , Schumi , Senna or Hamilton
Well Alonso is the undisputed MOTORSPORT GOAT and not just a f1 specialist
What legacy is there to rebuild? I came into F1 in 2020 and I was really excited to see him come back because I had heard of what he had achieved and how he always got the best possible job done, in the past. Of course, I learnt about the McLaren disaster, but you can understand why he was publicly slamming the team on and off track. That was the lowest of lows for such a famous team. Since his return, we’ve seen magic moments from him so many times, Canada 2022 front row quali in a midfield car and Hungary 2021 and that monster defence against Hamilton, come to mind. Off track, he’s such a hilarious guy to follow cause he always seems to wind up in amusing situations. He is so impressive and consistent, even after so many years and that’s made him my personal GOAT, long May it continue
He is one of the best drivers of all time. The BOAT. But seriously seeing him 3rd and only 9 points behind checo is glad t seee
I saw a post on Instagram that Alonso has participated in about (I think) 30 or 40 percent of all Grand prix ever in history. Which is mind blowing to me
33.40% if you count race starts, 33.67% if you count participations (he has 3 gps where he did not start)
I was definitely wrong about Fernando. I thought on his return he would be fine but a shadow of his former self. I felt that a younger driver would have been better. However I have been proven massively wrong and his driving currently (and for his entire career) has been phenomenal.
Fernando Alonso needs another WDC
Algorithm food
Tommo Who is your favourite driver?
@@pablobelmonte5448Albono 😂😂😂😂
Werent you saying in 2020 that Alonso is washed up?
What blows my mind is that he was still competitve after leaving the sport and returning back, at an old age. Hamilton being competitive at old ages isn't as impressive as Alonso as Hamilton stayed in the sport, with the same team so can carry that momentum into his 40s.
A lot of people says that his best seasons are 2006-07 but OMG 2010 and 2012 what a superb drive with that car!!! Also last year he had some stellar performances... I strongly recommend watching his COTA race last year because that was a masterclass
And don't forget2014, or even 2008-2009 with a crappy Renault and getting several podiums and even a pole position. 2018 he basically destroyed a promising Vandoorne. In 2016 he beat Button easily. This man has never really had a bad season. One could argue his worst season was in fact 2007, when he was too hot headed and didn't manage well the Hamilton-Dennis situation.
McLaren has shafted quite a few drivers if ppl really look into it
well not the last one .....
McLaren and Williams' downfall started the same way: Adrian Newey left the team
@@aslamnurfikri7640they still had a great car post Newey , especially in 2012 which was actually faster than what Newey had with the red bull. The downfall happened with hiring Sam Michael and their pre emptive changes to the 2013 car in preparation to 2014 and that mistake saw them slip back.
His 2012 season is of mythic proportions❤
Alonso is really the fine wine of F1.
Ayrton and Alonso- two GOATs of F1
till this day I still laugh at the comments back in 2020 saying Renault should promote the likes of Lungaard or Zhou (no disrespect, they're really solid drivers) instead of Alonso, I think that happened because of some fans perception on older drivers coming back will be more like Schumacer at Mercedes in 2010-2012 than what Alonso and to a greater extent Hulkenberg is doing today
Never doubted him, never will.🐐
However. Alonso is a wasted talent when it comes to Trophys. But Hamilton and Fernando are the Prost and Sennas of our generation. (Max is the Schumi)
what is seb then?
@@parhamkanth5676 Seb its not at the same level mate. He only had two decent years, in 2010 and 2012 almost lost the championship with the best car.
@@MrThedestroy3r mate u clearly don’t have any wheel knowledge. In 2014 the Ferrari was quicker than the Red Bull but still Vettel humbled Alonso . In 2010 Alonso couldn’t even pass the Renault of Petrov and lost himself the championship. Only time Seb underperformed was 2018 and late half of 2017. In 2021 and 2022 he put that Aston to places it didn’t deserve. He developed the AMR23 to such a level and thats why Alonso is leeching of his hardwork . I love Alonso but he isn’t that level . People put him on that because pf what could have been but not what was . He could have been a 4 time world champion but he wasn’t. He is a 2 time world champion but one hell of a driver
@@icebear3828 hakkinen is so underrated
@@parhamkanth5676Ferrari quicker than Red Bull in 2014 😂 you have any more jokes?
Im a tifosi, grew up watching Michael winning, i didnt like Fernando back then, but honestly there is no driver like him, for me there is no question he is the best f1 driver of the 21st century
I love Alonso, he is the driver in F1 right now, he always give me an inspiration to be the best driver in motor racing ❤
People criticized Fernando for lots of things other drivers have done but somehow when it's Fernando it's always been worse. Lewis would have a meltdown and Seb would be a husk of himself in that McLaren - Honda car. He could've done better? Yes, but it feels like he got a lot more shit than others would have because he is such a polarizing figure in F1. Plus come on, his radios were amazing, the engine feels good radio is hilarious.
So I am of course really happy he is just up there again. Because I always believed in him. Believed in him through Ferrari, through McLaren, and believed in him through his comeback of course. I always knew he was one of the all time greats, but I can't deny I am really happy that it seems like he has ended the debate and he is finally getting the recognition he deserves. It felt like even though he is a two time world champion he was still underrated LMAO.
Max would curse so much his radio would be rated R
Tbf, Hamilton criticism from 2014 till now and vettel's from 2010 to 2020 was equally bad.
He's always been my F1 hero... I'm 21 years old now and as an Italian, I naturally grew up watching him when he was driving for Ferrari and fighting alone against his ass cars and both RedBull and McLaren and his sudden "retirement" in 2018 really hit me emotionally, especially considering how bad McLaren was going. To see him enjoying those last years of his F1 career this much while also still showing his immortal masterclass gives me a joy that goes beyond mere words. I really hope he can get one last victory, because I'm sure that if it ever happens, I'd be the happiest guy alive, maybe even more than Nando himself😂
The biggest surprise of his comeback was making the RIGHT choice when it comes to driver market for once. I smile everytime this man is driving while being happy and content. He deserves every minute of track time in the front-running machinery until the day he retires.
the only real mistake in terms of career choices was mchonda. honda wanted to return in 2015 meaning they were atleast a year behind on PUs. perhaps if you include resigning for renault in 2009 when RB was an option. he failed to recognize their rapid developments and oh how history could have been so different
Ferrari are red,
Alpine is blue,
Never forget,
Fernando is faster than you
I used to hate ‘nando because he was the one who finally dethroned Michael, and Spanish media really went bananas for a couple of years, but now I do believe he is the greatest driver of F1, just because he had some reaaaally bad cars and still got into title contention more than once of pure merit.
Just my opinion, but he undeniably is an awesome driver and an incredible personality.
Alonso is much happier at Aston Martin that at McLaren. I still remember those painful years, the memes, and the shitload of grid penalties
And that electrocution
I would’ve left the sport years ago had Fer not come back. He’s the last of the old guard. The final v10 hooligan. You can see it in the way his car moves. He’s a man, not a sim-kid.
Alonso was, still is, and always be a tremendous beast!
He is basically a case study
other people start watching F1 for the beginning of their midlife-crisis, he starts competing in it
NUMBERS WILL NEVER GOING TO JUTIFY THE TALENT AND HARD WORK OF NANDO
probably the most talented motorsport driver I've ever seen
Fernando and Lewis are last drivers from the day i watched f1 for 1st time ever always respect your childhood heroes even more when they are still on top of sport
✊🗿suffered as a Alonso fan then..
Enjoying at most being Alonso and max fan now..
I reckon he will end up in an advisor/team principal role would be a waste to let all that experience walk away for good without at least trying to tempt him into such a role.... but until then I believe he can get himself 1 more championship over the course of the next 3-5 years for sure providing he's not fighting the battle on his own team mate wise and the car development keeps the pace up
He'll be FIA president and apply maximum penalties
FIA Boss.
I wasn't a big fan of Alonso, but that was mainly because he competed against Vettel who I just love(d). Alonso is a driver I'd rank in the top 3 of Motorsport, with legends like Jim Clark.
I hope alonso make new history that is the oldest world champion
I admire that Alonso has maintained incredible consistency at the highest levels of racing for his entire career. Even when he “retired” from F1 he won LeMans back to back in his first two years ever racing in WEC. We have seen younger drivers come and go while Alonso stays in top form. Really remarkable
Without a good car he was nowhere. How many times did he had problems with Esteban? Why? Because he couldn't get rid of him. He is a good driver, in the top 3 even... but not the Chuck Norris of F1.
You mean Chuck Leclerc? 😅
Without a good car everyone is nowhere. How many times Esteban had problems with his teammate? Why?
the fact that alonso is still one of the best drivers today speaks volume about his incredible and unseen longevity. this could also suggest the opposite, instead of alonso being amazing, perhaps the competition (younger drivers such as stroll, lando, and george) are weak themselves. you can see the same thing at mercedes.
these older drivers should be tossed out of f1, not by politics but by outperforming them. it's the natural cycle. the fact that alonso and hamilton appear to be defying that cycle proves that the current generation is just weak. it's impossible for alonso and hamilton to still be operating at 100% ie, their primes. they are fighting a losing battle against time.
These young talents are quick over a lap, but the top three are literally masters over a race. It's about being a racer, not a hotlapper.
@@MrThedestroy3r This. Alonso is hard to say because we're comparing him to Stroll, but Lewis and Max in the race just dwarf their teammates in terms of pace and tyre management. Russell is doing a good job sticking with Lewis though.
@@suckieduckie not good enough of a job. see, russell's goals shouldn't be to just match an old lewis hamilton. he needs to absolutely trash him. it doesn't make much sense from an age perspective. russell is 25. lewis is 38. if russell's best is only good enough to match hamilton in the twilight stages of his career, he better thank the lord everyday that he wasn't a part of hamilton's generation. if we put a 25 year old hamilton against russell right now, lewis would have george's contract on fire within a few races.
You compared Nandi with Kimmi
I started to think about that, so tell me please:
Which season after 2007 you rank Kimmis performance above Fernandos?
McLaren now has a F1 engine with a GP2 Chassis
Cristiano Ronaldo 🚀
Fernando Alonso 🚀
Ronnie O'Sullivan 🚀
Just names of individuals at the top regardless of age!
What we see now is not the Alonso Renaissance. He never left. We're seeing the level of performance he was giving to some of the worst cars ever made. We should be glad that we get to watch one of the greatest racing drivers in history continue to prove his talent.
Why FA still is racing at the highest level at 42? He still wants to win
As simple as that, other drivers should take notes, work hard and have a good car and results will come
Alonso leaving was the best for him and for McLaren. He needed to get out of the sport for a bit to reset and McLaren needed to move on from him and build around 2 younger drivers , not one old driver
Back when I started watching F1 in 2005/2006 as a kid Alonso became my favorite driver and driving as him in the racing games was really fun after that I kinda forgot to watch it coming back in 2015 as most of us Dutchies came for Verstappen now in 2023 I can finally see Alonso at the front together with my other favorite Verstappen:D Even though I miss the 2005/2006 days of Renault
If Max his car breaks once this year and i see Nando win again i will engage in definite tomfoolery, i remember jumping up and down as a 13 year old when he won his first WDC in 2005. Now im 30 and i feel like this man has grown up along side me in a way and i'll never stop rooting for him. This year has been pretty boring because Rb is just so fast, but the nando saga at least offers me some enjoyment
He is going to be the oldest F1 champion un history. And I Will cry that day
I’m a racing driver, ask any racing driver who the best drivers in history are, Senna, Alonso and Hamilton will always be on the top 3. It doesn’t matter how many championships you have, that’s just being good at office politics.
And Michael?
Alonso the legend, future FIA director
I remember when people were saying that when Alonso returned, that Zhou was the better option- though I’m pretty sure, Zhou didn’t even acclaim enough points for a super-licence for 2021!
He is still the same Fernando Alonso that we know from 2005
Fernando Alonso is one of those drivers who doesn't care if he's loved by everybody. He's also not like Verstappen or Red Bull Sebastian Vettel, who were fueled by the hate to just succeed more. He puts on a show for the fans and thinks about the show as a hero of the sport would. He's a great guy. But he doesn't mind some bad guy reputation.
Whats wrong being fueled by hate ?
I have always said Alonso stepping away from F1 for a while helped him find himself again (mentaly speaking) and we are seeing the awards of it now.
Fernando cane back with a vengeance totally Re energized. He came back picking better teams.
If McLaren had actually compromised with thier chasis for Honda to make an engine. They could've actually made a lot of improvements. Alas they just can't get of thier high horse ending with redbull winning the championship with a Honda powered engine.(ik 2021 is controversial but not 2022 which carried on the Honda engine tweaked a bit by redbull)
anyways, Alonso has always had a pristine legacy in terms of his driving. I still think 2007 was one of his worst years.
His worst year alongside 2004. He was virtual champion for more than half of the last race. That speaks volumes about him, even more knowing he had the worst possible enviroment to perform and a car and tyres the least suitable for his driving style.
@@MrThedestroy3r Yeah he was basically Mr Michelin for years. he drove that car with insane understeer but he did it to beat Schumacher which he did. he never expected Lewis as his team mate, who had done 6000km of testing the year before with that tyre. Alonso had to learn how to drive again, so i still think of the 07 season as a very weird situation
@@robertcarr4172 Exactly. He went from a driving style at Renault (suitable) to the most possible different one at Mclaren-Bridgestone. He still was competitive but lacked his biggest advantage over the rest: the consistency. He made more mistakes than usual also. Hamilton still was amazing.
@@robertcarr4172from what little I've read about 2007 Fernando was not the only one struggling with the Bridgestones..any one else who ran Michelin's were aswell. Kimi struggled as well.
@@parthladyet Kimi was able to win and Alonso didn’t cos he made multiple mistakes and let his emotions about Hamilton get the better of him
I'll be honest, i was quite upset when Fernando came back to F1 and even more when he took Seb's seat (even though I know Seb decided his own fate) but I was kinda left empty on who to support when Seb left and decided I'll give Fernando a chance and support him since I really like Aston and what they are doing. Was not disappointed in the least and he is my guy now and always watch his onboards and listen to his radio.
