Tbf Villeneuve was still very good until 2002/03 and some of his post - title years were arguably even better than 1997.

Didn't even make an attempt to get past Petrov. I can't imagine Schumacher doing that, and I liked Alonso more while he was winning championships.

You say this and I immediately remember Baku 2018 when he had 2 punctures and a heavily damaged car after lap 1, but still kept going and finished in the points. What a fighter mentality. Edit: I just read the rest of your comment and have to disagree with the part regarding Hill and Villeneuve

You probably forgot Hill's amazing performance in Hungary in 1997. One of the greatest ever races in an underpowered car. And JV was constantly outperforming average at best cars in 1998 and 1999 at least.

@@Nekudza I wish the Arrows had been more reliable that race, what an amazing and deserved victory it would have been

You sir are a man of culture.

It would have been story that tells how underdog won championship despite not having the car for it. That 2012 Ferrari had pace after few races, thinking what kind of horrible machine it was to drive in pre season tests.

Only 3 points off the title :(

as much as I like Kimi being the last Ferrari champion.....I wish Massa had won the 08 title and Fernando the 2012.....

Twin Turbo why not wish fernando 2010 lol

@@serxhiokasa3665 2012 just seemed like a more iconic year.....

Hamilton's better. Beat him as rookie. After that, Alonso never faced a competitive driver, with parity of support and equipment, in the high pressure environment of a competitive car, ever again. He's been the single biggest beneficiary of teams building everything only around him, to the the absolute detriment of his teammates carers, since Schumacher wrote the book on that in his first career. When he didn't have that against Hamilton he got completely exposed and ran away from being Hamilton's teammate 1 year in to a 3 year contract, only for Hamilton to become the McLaren world champion, in the car that Alonso ran away from.

He could’ve been at least a 5 time world champion 😔

@@MT-pv2rf as Max Müller said, McLaren's focus was Hamilton. Also as Aldas tells about the 2012 season, he beat Hamilton massively in a much slower car. That kinda should explain to you why he left McLaren so fast. Nobody knows the exact facts of the 2007 season and the numbers don't tell the truth. Aldas did good avoiding talking about it.

@@maxmuller4551 Nope. Alonso, as the reigning 2xWDC, was given preferential treatment from Dennis in the first 5 race weekends but that all changed after the FIA investigated McLaren for taking Hamilton off his pre arranged strategy at the Monaco Grand Prix, in the era when team orders were banned. So, from Canada onwards, Hamilton was given equality, and that's where the problems really started because Alonso could not handle Hamilton beating him in the championship standings at all. Alonso fans are ridiculous. You make me glad that Alonso never won a single title after 2006.

@Matej Z Just stop Hamilton beat Alonso! He had more 2nd place finishes. They use a count back system, whereby, if drivers tie on points, then 1st places, 2nd places, 3rd places etc ate taken into account. How many times do Alonso fanboys need this spelling out to them? They tied 109-109 in points, 4-4 for wins, but Hamilton beat his vastly note experienced teammate because he had more 2nd place finishes, when he was just a rookie! Alonso lost. Get over it. He lost to a rookie version of Hamilton in the same car.

Hamilton would still beat him as he did in 2007

Shots fired

Life doesn't work like that and Alonso is a prime example of this. He won 2 titles at Renault then had the amazing opportunity to win 2 more straight away because he joined McLaren at the perfect time when they were good enough to win in 2007 and 2008. Alonso not only failed to win any titles with McLaren but ran away from a 3 year contract, because he was scared of Hamilton, and then had to suffer the humiliation of Hamilton becoming the McLaren world champion instead of him. Alonso also cost himself the chance to drive for Mercedes in the hybrid era because of his failed blackmail attempt and role in the Spygate Scandal. Your comment is basically what someone who believes in fairy tails would write. Alonso only has 2 world titles for a reason. He is not a victim. Alonso had his chances and completely blew it.

You could say that for anyone

"If he was given a good car", this sport doesn't work that way. While being a fast driver, there is a very good reason why he has only two titles and doesn't deserve any more than that. 2007 he got beaten by Lewis, a rookie at that time and he walked away from multi-year contract with championship winning team. Through out his carreer he has been in a team with more than enough resources to build a winning car, but for some weird reason it has always failed... He and his actions are the ones to blame, not the car he was "given".

On his day WTF that supposed to mean ,every 365 days in a year was his Day

@@ZZS3D888 i think he means " back in the day "

Aditya Pandey he doesn’t like leap years

I still think he was all prime all the way to 2018 which was spectacular considering his car. I never saw a period of weakness in Alonso since 2007, which I think was his worst season ever

On his day? More like every time he steps into an F1 car.

As alonso hinself said: "karma"

They went the Clarkson way

Those Honda engines were bullshit.

@@kevinhanandi But then that same karma attacked Alonso after he went out of F1 and wanted to race at Indy... which is kinda sad too.

Problem is that Honda hasnt moved Redbull forward.

Absolutely. He was on reduced revs and in engine saving mode.

Wow, no way? I hate to sound cocky but I usually know a lot of things about F1 that most people seem not to know therefore I can't believe I never knew about this! Thanks for the info!

@@samburti8587 yep he was nursing an engine problem most of the race

Clearly you are too young to not have watched a season like 2002. Or even the year later in 2013. Those 2 seasons are definitely the best performances of a driver we have seen since the year 2000.

@@grimm6jack 2013? Vettel or Alonso? Because that season was also a good one despite vettel won last 9 races of that season.

@@grimm6jack 2002??? Schumi dominated in one of the most dominant cars in F1 history just like in 2004 - no different to Hamilton in one of the most dominate cars ever for 7 years in a row. You can't compare amazing driver in amazing car (Schumi 2002 & 2004 Ferrari, Hamilton 2014-2020 Mercedes) to the miracles Alonso performed in lesser cars especially 2010-2018.

@@Aurantius_ Well if he's referring to Vettel in 2013 then he's ignorant and clueless about F1. In 2013, Alonso was on his way to having an extremely strong championship and probably winning it. Then as of the British Grand Prix (or the one after maybe), the FIA completely changed the tires that all cars must use which heavily favoured the Red Bull. From then on, Red Bull was on another level. The FIA completely screwed over Alonso & Ferrari in 2013. Watch the season up until the British GP (or the race after, I can't remember).

@@samburti8587 No such miracles... 2010 Ferrari was a good car, not RB level but up there, AND it was more reliable. The reason why Vettel didn't clinch the title sooner. 2012 people judge Ferrari's car based on the first race and testing... Yeah, in those, they were really awful, but after that Ferrari made a huge jump. Domenicali even mentioned in post-season interview that the only problem they had was qualifying, because the car was very reliable (Alonso had 0 mechnical DNFs) and had tremendous race-pace. Even if 2002 was a dominant car, Schumacher won 11 out of 17 races AND was ON THE PODIUM EVERY SINGLE RACE! The achievement done only once in F1. No other driver has ever been on the podium ever since F1 hosts more than 15 tracks per season. You don't realize how crazy that feat is. Even with dominant cars, consistent is really important, and even the 2002 Ferrari which was the most dominant Ferrari ever, is still nowhere near as dominant as Mercedes 2020 and 2014-2015-2016. Shocking isn't it?

Haha actually your opinion is quite in sync with the video :-)

When I watched his races at LeMans and Daytona 24h, i knew he was still as hungry and determined as ever. The magic he does even with a car that wasn't worth his talent was something else.

Im a Hamilton fan and hate to take the truth, but you are right

Your opinion does not matter but the statics do...

@@panacheautomotive4298 with statistic you can basically tell whatever you want, if you take the right numbers. Statistics don't matter without a context.

You are living in a fantasy world as any objective analysis of driver misfortune during the Red Bull years shows that Alonso didn't deserve to win the title any season. Non Alonso fanboys are aware of this, of course, it's just that Alonso fanboys have an unhealthy habit of never acknowledging when other drivers are unlucky. 2010? Alonso actually made the most mistakes of all the title contenders, in a year where they all made mistakes, and Vettel wins the title, by an even bigger margin than he already did, when misfortune is accounted for. Hamilton comes home 2nd with Alonso down in 5th. 2012? This is a year that Hamilton had atrocious luck and should have won the title, ahead of Vettel, with Alonso 3rd. 2012, and McLaren's incompetence, is the reason that Hamilton completely lost faith in the team and made the decision to jump ship to Mercedes, after retiring from the lead of the Singapore GP, but I do love this narrative that everything during that time revolves around Alonso failing to win any championships, in a one man Ferrari team that only supported him. Its hilarious. Last title 2006, 14 years ago.

@@MT-pv2rf According to that logic he should of lost 2006 as Michael had an engine failure in Japan and then got hit by Fisi in Brazil

M T; I care so little about how your elitist F1 fan view where everyone is wrong except your opinion. Didn't even read past your 2nd paragraph.

Same man. It especially helps that my household have been fans of his from the start, as in early Renault days. I firmly hope alpine sort the engine problems and give this man the car he deserves, he could win a championship in it.

I doubt he is better than hamilton tbh, at least his first mclaren stint didn't suggest so

@@kevinhanandi Alonso is better because he doesn't crack under pressure. Hamilton frequently cracked when he lost his season to Nico Rosberg. Hamilton often carried those cracks into subsequent race weekends and let his team mate rattle him.

or Daytona 24h. Alonso was sublime in the worst weather Daytona had seen in all its history. The race had to be stopped twice and Alonso had to battle again in terrible conditions. It got so bad that Alonso was pleading for the race to be stopped because cars were aquaplaning left and right. Stunning overtakes that often caught other drivers by surprise. Seeing him there made me realize that he still has so much fire and that intelligence and racecraft was as sharp as ever.

This video makes me hope he’s coming back🙏

I hope he win indy 500 tbh, to cement his legacy even more

Theo Tillmann LOL

That season doesn’t make sense mate

And here again after that p3 to say the same.

Vettel loved?? Have you seen the comment section of the F1 official youtube channel and their instagram? People do nothing but hate him, calling him a *choker* and spinmaster. They bash him left, right and center and praise Leclerc as Ferrari's new starman.

@Jonathan King Sad, but true. The only drivers everyone seems to love are Kimi, Danny Ric and Lando Norris. Those three can do no wrong in everyone's eyes, it seems.

@@Euclides287 Wanna see spinmaster, watch Hamilton's older races, from 2011 for example. He was all over the track, randomly hitting other cars, spinning, crashing, worse than Verstappen or Vettel in their worst years. Unfortunately the media is only repeating Vettel's videos, while Hamitons merry-go-round videos are never aired on TV. Fortunately, they are easy to find on KZfaq.

@@cinegraphics Dude, that was 9 years ago! 😂 No one in their right mind thinks Hamilton's worst season in F1 was as bad as Verstappen or Vettel's for that matter.

@@Euclides287 but it actually was bad. Ham has hit more drivers than young Verstappen. But Hamilton was much older and more experienced than Verstappen, so he had no excuse. Also, those who think that Hamilton is better than Alonso, just remember that in 2012 Alonso was 88 points ahead of Hamilton, while driving a slower car than Hamilton's McLaren. Now, that's how Alonso drives when he's not sabotaged by his team (which was the case in 2007).

The only time Alonso and Hamilton drove the *SAME* car, Lewis beat him. So how can you say he's better than HAM in the same car?? Or Vettel for that matter when they never drove the same car?

"Better than hamilton in same car" What did you smoke? When did this happen? They did drive the same car and ROOKIE Lewis beat him. Winning the championship on the following year. You might want to check your facts.

@@alvmusic4402 Hamilton didn't beat Alonso in 2007

Delusional hamilton fans still refuse to accept that hamilton was favoured by mclaren and tried to make him win at any cost

@@Euclides287 What about this. Alonso beat Lewis in much worst cars 2010 2011 2012 2013??????

Hands down

Fernando kick his ass to

I think that the "toxic" label is very unfair. Someone who knows Alonso very well is Andrea Stella (who previously worked with Schumacher). Stella was his race engineer at Ferrari and moved with Alonso to Mclaren when Alonso left. Stella has this to say of Fernando: “And while Fernando may look a tough personality, that is more a presentation. It is more when he is part of a competition. When he is inside the group of engineers, he becomes very comfortable. He is the first one to say: How can I improve?” “When he came to Ferrari, he said to me things I could not understand. Like: I am not a good driver in the wet. I am not good in Hockenheim. I am not good (in this and that)… And I was like, What? I thought you were better than this. He was very open.” “The process of being humble, of acknowledging the gap to perfection, is a strong characteristic of his, which I can understand from outside may not be perceivable. But within the entourage, the team, it is actually quite developed. Through the years, he has worked on these weaker characteristics.” “The essence of his qualities is that he is very complete. You struggle to find a weak point, basically, in terms of high-level skills. The technical preparation in terms of driving. The ability to cope with a variety of situations. Intelligence - just capacity to understand the situation while he is in or out of the car.”

With how he was extremely close to winning the world championship in 2010 and 2012 absolutely.

Lewis Hamilton ruined Fernando's career. Had 07 not have happened, he'd have surpassed MSC.

real barcafan Alonso was a little faster than Hamilton on USA but that time if you werent 1sec faster couldnt pass the guy in front of you. In Canada Hamilton was faster but Alonso could have taken easily the second place if he wouldnt have tried that hard to catch Hamilton,one of his worst races. In hungary if he would be calm and talk with team why hamilton didnt stick with the plan, he would have got the support of team and would have taken min second place there.

@@Bahamuttiamat I agree, would have taken 07 and 08 for sure at least.
