Fernando Alonso will never be matched
Рет қаралды 375,733
Жыл бұрынFernando Alonso is 41 years of age and is still at the top of his game in Formula 1. With 2 world championships, it still doesn't paint a picture of how good he is. Fernando came from humble beginnings but quickly impressed the world during his karting and junior career, and quickly found himself in Formula 1. He won two consecutive championships with Renault and became the youngest double world champion ever. He has battled with the very best, like Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton. Fernando always found a way, and even though he didn't win a world championship with Ferrari, you still always felt like he was a chance. Enjoy.

He(Alonso) said that there's a problem with the car when he was behind Button. Team was saying back that keep driving/fighting Fernando, but he then just gave up. No other world champion ever disgraced himself like Alonso did. .. Other than that, he's a talented driver.

Honestly I disagree, I’ve never found that Alonso’s speed is his greatest strength, I’d you look at Quali he is definitely strong (especially considering his cars are more often than not slow), but his real magic happens on a Sunday. He is a racing genius, he will sacrifice corners early in order to be put in a better position to overtake 4 corners further ahead. This pairs perfectly with his usually flawless racecraft, he is rarely in scrapes that are his fault or makes mistakes, in my mind the only ones I can think of are him hitting the wall at t4 in Canada in 2005 which meant he retired, him hitting Ocon on the straight in Brasil and going off the track when attempting to overtake Petrov in Abu Dhabi 2010. Given this, he is an almost perfect driver in the race, but usually he has to fight his car which is slower/unreliable and his lower qualification (which is again due to the car). For sure he is not perfect, and his attitude can be harmful to his team, but his talent, intelligence and experience make him an invaluable quantity for any team on the grid, in my mind he can still win a title if given the car beneath him, and I hope with the new wind tunnel and team base that Aston can do that for him. Vamos legend, Vamos.

@malonsosanchez Жыл бұрын
I think part of the legend of Fernando and what makes him even more special is the fact that he only won two championships. He has earned his reputation not by winning "easy" championships with cars significant faster, but by having incredible consistent races making the most out of slower, unreliable, or mid pack cars, even if it was "just" finishing P7 or P8. And furthermore, the fact that he is going to turn 42 and he is still really fast. I don't know other driver that could do that in my lifetime watching Formula 1.

Alonso is that athlete whose brilliance isn't reflected in statistics (2 WDCs just does not tell the story), but it doesn't matter because everyone who knows anything about the sport knows that, and has him on the same tier as a Hamilton, Schumacher, or Senna. Casuals will look at titles won etc., but invested fans know he didn't have the cars. It's a bit like George Best for Manchester United. Had a few wins, but never even appeared at a World Cup because he was Northern Irish. But everyone knows he was elite.

I've been one who's said this for years. Alonso is THE man behind the wheel. He's earned my full respect as a passionate wheelman myself. As a Finn of course as a kid I cheered for Räikkönen but as I grew up I realized who Alonso really is; the greatest modern driver in his overall skills.

Besides, the occasional outburst from Max is nothing compared to lulu's "you guys f*cked me" in Zandvoort or Leclerc's WTF in Monaco.

Non of the big teams wanted to work with him because of his behavior,which lead him to burn down one bridge after the other! In a sport where the team is so important you must be able to build a team around you which supports you 100%. Just like Michael with Ferrari,or Lewis with Mercedes or Max with red bull! Alonso has never been able to do that and was always blaming everybody around him.for me that's the major reason for his lack of results after ,2006...

To me, Fernando is the greatest driver to ever live. He's raced in so many different cars and different styles, and done well in all of them. He's had the longest ever career in Formula 1, a feat that will likely never be surpassed. He single-handedly brought the Spanish speaking world back into the world of motor racing. He hasn't had a bad year, he never puts a foot wrong, and he's even ensuring the future of motorsports with his karting academy. Every world champion he's raced with or against has enormous respect for him. Lewis Hamilton named him as the toughest teammate he ever had. Jenson thought he was the most complete driver. Max Verstappen regretted that he couldn't race against Alonso in a competitive machine. Niki Lauda commended Alonso for immediately building the entire Ferrari team around himself, even better than what Schumacher could do.

Fernando had a career like the other big spanish driver: Carlos Sainz Sr. He won two WRC but it was so close to win a bunch of other years, that's almost unfair that he only has 2 championships, and outside the WRC, he has been a beast in Dakar, etc.

As someone who's started following the sport in the last 2-3 years , Fernando is arguably the greatest modern day motorport driver since 2000. What he was able to do in 2012 with an underperforming Ferrari is the stuff of legend. Not to mention is his performance in Hungary 2015, Baku 2018 and his drive in Hungary 2021 holding up Lewis, who was in the most dominant F1 package of the V6 Hybrid Era. The man is levels above the rest and I'm glad he's getting his due by newer fans like me too!

In current era there s no driver above Alonso,the last one that could have beaten him was Michael Schumacher in his Ferrari years, Verstappen is something like a mixed driver beetwen Senna and Schumacher but if will ever be a team in Verstappen and Alonso will be teammates,in similar cars Alonso will beat him. Alonso had that talent and natural ability to know how to move the car during attacks or defending while Hamilton ever since 2014 when his only rival was his teammate until 2016 he never have been in serious fights or working hard for a title, Hamilton stood like a coward in a car 30 seconds ahead while Alonso struggled in garbage cars for points,Hamilton all he did was to push the gas paddle while Alonso had that intelligence of knowing when and how to turn the steering wheel,when and how to break or to put the car in the position in which his rival has no room, this episode is even crazier thinking that Alonso had hard tyres and defending that good against the best car on the track at that moment,showed that Alonso is above Hamilton, no matter how many victories Hamilton had in lack of competition conditions,his credibility is way below

One perfect word for Alonso came to my mind while watching 2005, Relentless. One phrase to describe his approach, "lead, follow, or get out of the way". Give him the cars his rivals enjoyed while giving his rivals the best cars Alonso ever had and he would be winning F1 titles in his 70's.
