@@gforcefalcon-16 That's insulting to Alonso lmao, 2000 chess elo is roughly 94 percentile... Meaning a whopping 6% of players have a higher rating.. Alonso is like, 99.99999 percentile.
@@tombardsley3081 Not true, while Perez has been struggling to support Max at all lately, he effectively won him his first title when defending against Lewis in Abu Dhabi.
Qatars drs and track layout is quite different. The only 2 DRS zones in Hungary are packed together and short t the start of the lap, and the rest of the track has no drs and the corners provide little opportunity to overtake especially if you’ve got someone ahead who is defending for their life. Qatar, meanwhile, has 1nice, juicy DRS zone that are spread out across the lap. The corners are quite high speed with little heavy braking zones, but the DRS makes up for that by sending cars wheel to wheel into these corners, out of which the quicker car on better tyres will come out victorious.
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1I think they just were horribly underprepared. Lewis was a rookie, yes he had tested a fair bit, but I don’t think McLaren were anticipating he could match Alonso, let alone beat him.
@@Hydraav2 Oh 100% Alonso was given number 1 treatment all the mechanics wanted to work on his car too They didn’t expect to be on it from day 1 and after the events of Monaco that year they were forced to give equal treatment to both of them
@@andrewmelton2686 Oh, no. Hungaroring and Monaco are not comparable. Watch 2001 Monaco Grand Prix: Coulthard (McLaren Mercedes) vs Bernoldi (Arrows Asiatech). That was the funniest thing I've ever seen in motorsports in my life!🤣
@kuromori6200 ocon forced perez to fight for the position. Even 2 turns is enough to delay. Also it is much easier to pass in Qatar than it is in Hungary.
@@Engryter Reminded me of a meme video where Lewis asked "why are you doing this, you try so hard just to let your teammate have the glory". And Fernando replied "maybe I think Esteban deserves to win, or maybe it's just more fun to see you lose".
If it was Midget Herbert as the Steward for this race, he would have given Alonso 6 penalty points. Incredible defending by Alonso against a comfortably faster car.
It's performances like this from Fernando that were crucial in Max's championship aspirations. Nothing but admiration for what he managed to do and the difference it made in the end. I'm sure it will make him smile knowing he had a part in why Lewis didn't win the championship.
yeah his ego hurt, letting ham live rent free in his head for this long... plus 2021 is the most disgusting year FIA let all sort of shameless moves on ham unpunished due to trying to get max win the wdc... every dirty moves in the book was allowed and not investigated until they couldnt do it, but then they still did one last disgraceful right at the end before the final corners! forever stained the image of FIA if they had any credibility, they lost it all dishonorably!
@@nemrodpl the reason he lost positions in that race was because of his own dumb mistake. However, what we're discussing here is something caused by a third driver called Fernando Alonso.
Max turned in, watch his onboard, he wants everyone to back off, and the funny thing is, if he didn't turn on on Lewis, Lewis would have backed off, Max is a risk taker that is why his great driver, Lewis can't afford to be to much of a risk taker because everyone seems to hate him, in his younger days he took risk though maybe not as extreme as Max thou.
@@jeffreyo5257 You who need to look at the onboard, compare how far Hamilton was from the inside curb in the fight with Verstappen and then see where Hamilton was on the inside curb in the fight against Leclerc in the same race. It was a racing accident, but if you want to find someone to blame, it definitely wasn't Verstappen.
@@dnScarlos definitely was max, watch the onboard video, you can see Lewis beside him, he still turns in, his done that a few times and its worked where people have backed off, Lewis couldn't back off in this case where would he go, also it was to late, but watching it again and again, you see max turned in and Lewis was on the inside along side him, definitely Max, interesting thou who do you think was at fault with the Max and Lando incident?
this was 3 years ago move on how about all the times max made lewis back off to avoid a crash, brazil stewards supported him trying to crash into lewis, saudi break checked lewis only a 6 sec penalty. He was supported by the stewards
@@James-gr5mx Lmaooo it seems like you’re the one who can’t move on mate. Because the only reason you’re commenting is because you’re still salty Lewis didn’t win the dwc. Brazil wasn’t nearly the same speed as Cops. And in Saudi Max got a 5 and a 10 second penalty, where did you get 6 from? My point was, Lewis cried to Fernando about the same thing he did the race before, which is just hypocrite. But then you brought Max into this.
@@davidpanken Seems like you were the one that brought max into this by commneting him on a video that had nothing to do with Max? Get over it bro It's 2024
@@davidpanken It's called racing. They all complain like crybabies because even the littlest of advantages count. Look at Lando in Silverstone this year saying that the Mercedes joined very unsafely when they were miles off. He was onto nothing, but by saying that he gets the FIA's attention onto it and given how inconsistent they are, they might decide to give a penalty. And that Lewis-Max crash would have happened regardless. If Hamilton was on the outside and Max was on the inside, the incident would have still happened cus those two drivers share one brain cell when they're driving. Hyper aggressive and nothing else is what their rivalry is.
This is a very standard attack and defense action. Both drivers left space for each other. It is different from the competition with Verstappen. Drivers similar to Verstappen include Russell and Lando Norris. The biggest difference between them is whether the racing line is clean and whether they will take into account the car behind. When faced with a situation that may not be defendable, will they give up the defense. However, among these people, Verstappen is always the most radical one. He doesn't care whether an accident will happen. Just like this year's Austrian Grand Prix, the FIA should have punished Verstappen before the collision. When the collision occurred, Verstappen actually changed lanes three times. However, in this incident, Norris's offensive action was not clean, so it seems that Verstappen's responsibility will be smaller, but Verstappen himself still bears the main responsibility.
My original reply was: "Exactly, also i think its a little dirty to park the car on the inside and if the challenger tries to go around then straighten up the steering a bit to run him off track"
Alonso rlly did defend like a rampaging Animal in order for ocon to win, costing alpine a 1-3 in the end. He rlly did take his chances and Ocon should admit it
Alpine and Aston pace were basically equal that day and even that season Aston generally had less pace than Alpine Aston were really affected by the floor changes similar to Mercedes
I love Lewis but Alono's work here really is the pinnacle of defending master class from any F1 driver on the grid. Even Perez's defense for Max that crowned him Minister of Defense of Mexico in 2021 Abu Dhabi isn't as golden as this. Bro really was playing chess at 300kph
What Alonso did here is what Max did just now in Austria 2024, its just that Max's dance partner wasn't on that level and his stubbornness caused an incident.
So this is how it went : Ocon : Yes guy yes I won, wohoooo Alonso : Yes Ocon you're Welcome, good job mate The mechanics & the rest of the fans: Nice defending Alonso, without you Ocon wouldn't have won the race Alonso : no worries guys, it was a team effort Everyone : no no without you Ocon wouldn't have won, you're the real MVP mate, what a talent Alonso : Haha thanks Guys Ocon (inner thoughts) : what the hell why is everyone cheering for Alonso instead of me, I deserved that win, I'm more talented than that old sheep. I'll show them, just wait (A couple of races later) Alonso : Guys tell Esteban to defend like a lion Ocon : Ok I will try (Failed) Everyone : 😂 nice try Esteban Alonso : yeah nice try Esteban it's Ok you try at the end😅 Ocon inner thoughts : Fuck now everyone is laughing at me, they think Alonso is better than me? Ok I'll really show them this time (The next season) Ocon's inner thought : Alright Alonso Time for you to sit down you old hag Alonso : let's go guys Ocon : hehe yes let's go (Pushes Alonso every race) Alonso : Guys never i saw a defense like Ocon before (Sarcasm and disappointment) Ocon inner thoughts : yeah keep crying crylonso, you ain't got nothing on me ... To be continued
Car gets within 3 car lengths of Hamilton anywhere. Hamilton: Hey thats dangerous man come on. It's called racing, Lewis, you know...the the thing you forgot how to do while you were dominating.

This is exactly the reason, Mercedes wanted to keep track position over Max in Abu dhabi 2021. Mercedes pit wall knew that Lewis would find it next to impossible to pass Max in the remaining lap or 2.
@@yogishnn1945 Not to open the can of worms they left him out because a scenario like that ends under the safety car and pitting there would have been a new level of stupid considering you didn’t have the VSC delta to pit Masi then decided to disregard all safety car rules for a “grandstand finish”
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1If the title battle was finished behind a safety car I'm sure that the result could have been worse for the championship and the sport (i mean,look at Monza 2022, that was a disgrace, that could have been the final result of a full season battle). I still defend that Mercedes lost that title fight for Lewis, the pit crew did an amazing pitstop and Lewis a perfect stint,but with the pace he had, they should have stopped him during the Giovinazzi VSC (and people seems to forget that VSC).
@@DerpSherman Why would it be worse for the championship and sport when we *literally* have had a SC finish for a title decider in Brazil 2012 I rather see rules followed than them broken “for the show” Integrity matters And for Gio VSC they were at the wrong place at the wrong time the moment he came back to the pit lane it went Green again RB behind Lewis could simply do box opposite of whatever Mercedes did there
He barely touched him, the cars weren't damaged. Strong but fair defense. Unlike Verstappen that just decides to change his line during braking, Alonso knows how to put up a fight without crashing.
