Fernando Alonso's Overtaking Masterclass | 2021 Russian Grand Prix 

1 mclaren

ocon isn't that bad. He lacks of pace in this track

@@resadrecebli2263 He definitely isn't and is actually quite underrated for keeping up with Fernando at the start of the season. I'm just saying that in this race the difference was very noticeable

@@NavF1 Hungary also. If it was ocon holding up lulu ham while Alonso was trying to win a race, Alonso wouldn't have won the race

@@resadrecebli2263 He's just not the Ocon that we saw in 2017/18. I mean he hasn't done many miracles this year(I'm excluding hungary for obvious reasons)

hey its aldas! nice seeing you here!

He was and still is, the biggest cheat out there!

@@officialWWM how so

I love Aldas cause he always appreciate Fernando , Ty Aldas :)

Like the way he s cutting a corner on the first lap after being ignored when he protested. He will have everyone on the outside following suit . Track designers will need to play cat and mouse positioning their bollards with sly nando from here on.

amazing for a rookie

@Ponfi man if he had just won one of those two seasons 2010 or 12. The man is the absolute definition of unlucky. His class, his talent, his craft is unmatched in the modern era post Schumi. He should have had atleast 5 because that's the least he deserves. Sigh

Alonso and vettel in the same team, that would be insane

Chadlonso is probably the best driver in the grid talking about skills. He's just driving an Alpine (Renault) in their lowest point.

Glad seeing him in 2022

I think he want to win another championship ❤️🥰

don't forget that you believes in Alpine

I know right! F1 doesn't allow overtaking. Alonso: "Hold my cerveza!"

They are using an old engine this year to work on the one for the next year so... Have an idea😉

If the car is podium worthy then for sure alonso is going to challenge. He is one of the most competitive f1 drivers ever. He didnt come back to win just a few races.

Yeah.... his talent and experience proved that u can be the best even with the worst car ( among those 3 )

he is vastly superior in the wets than Checo or Charles

One thing I did find amazing though was how lightning fast Leclerc's steering movements were when he started losing control.

@@57F100 You could clearly hear and see that Leclerc is kinda more aggressive with the throttle

@@zekken_aep yep, that Ferrari has a ton of power too

I love this season

Lol no

@@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133 i hear most indian parent even restrict their kids to school to help work and this is what happens

Don’t put Alonso and professionalism in the same sentence.

@@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133the champion best trash awards goes to...

Better than the previous, right?

Hi

Stop simping. He is struggling to beat Ocon. Ocon had chassis issues since Baku to Austria which flatters Alonso in the standings.

@@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133 We will, Walmart tropical tree.

I agree completely. During the first few races of the season I thought it was going to be like Kimi. Not very competitive. Boy was I wrong. People say this a lot but, give him a competitive car and I’m sure he would at least challenge for the championship. That’s something I wouldn’t say about Kimi.

@@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133 10 times world trash champion awards goes to...

@@madhavnarayan2475 Yeah while completely ignoring the facts and following the mass psychosis of the Alonslow cult😂

Alonso has been in his prime since 2004

His pace certainly feels like he still is! But if we’re being honest, his prime was at Ferrari.

Why the age was specifically 36 despite him being 40

Alonso has been in his prime his entire F1 career

@@TheProkonover well may be he has been in his prime since that first Minardi qualifying

Split screen!! Show two battles at once

Yeah, this is the real lesson from this video.

Real answer always in the comments! It happens every week. Really tired of missing out live

tbf at the same time, they were covering the battle for the lead in tricky conditions with the possibility of crowning a new race winner. Very clear who we should be watching

@@justinburley8659 tbf they were covering norris lapping a haas, dont misinform

Only 32 wins? It's a lot. Even 1 win it's helluva achievement.

He shouldn’t have left W championship winning team / car when he had it. He was demanding to be number 1 and refused to have a competitive team mate with equal opportunity if it means they could beat him. That’s what happened when Lewis was a rookie and schooled him.

@@bakeshield2761 Alonso had more than 1000 laps in the new McLaren before the season started. Lewis was still new to formula 1, what’s your excuse?

@@bakeshield2761 0 pts.. oh right, I remember now, Lewis was leading Alonso by 12 pts (equivalent to 25 pts in today’s system) at the midpoint of the season.. when both had equal reliability.. although in the first races it was Alonso who felt entitled to number 1 priority with priority strategy (giving Lewis more fuel, with the less competitive strategy).. so despite this, Lewis still schooled him.. this continued in he second half of the season until Lewis had some mysterious failures out of no where in Turkey (was on for 2nd place podium, while “amazing Alonso” was trailing in 4th) and then suddenly his tyre blew up, bringing him into the pit behind alonso having to settle for 5th. While alonso, inherited a lucky 3rd place podium. And Brazil? Gearbox failure, sending him to the back of the Grand Prix, recovering to 7th, from what would’ve likely been a 4th or 3rd place finish. And who can forget China? Lewis again on for a 2nd place podium, but the team wasn’t assertive enough with him about his tyres, much like what happened to norris in Russia, so he lost grip and went off in the pit lane. Gifting alonso another high finish. Only after these three events was alonso lucky to finish equal pts in the standings, and looking like he did better than he really did. If you need reminding of Lewis schooling him, just watch Japan 2007, he got demolished there 😉

@@steez8902 they finished with the same points with the team against him and you say he schooled him, you brits....

great point about stats tbh, i've never heard that brought up in relation to the "greatest driver" conversation but you're totally right, alonso in a merc 2013-now and he has 100+ wins

would have, should have lol

Yeah but it never would have happened. He was fighting for p3 when it started raining. The drivers who pitted first were Bottas, Raikkonen, Verstappen and Russell - drivers who had nothing to lose Alonso had no incentive to pit when neither of Perez and Leclerc had done so

if if if ...yea

You mean, he should’ve pitted when he passed Perez. That would’ve been enough for P2.

@@versiable8041 Perez lost about 6 seconds in the pits and then came out behind Ricciardo and Sainz. He should have been fighting for the race win. He was even more unlucky than Alonso.

not only in F1 but in 4 wheel motorsport in general....I mean just check his resume ...if it was not for that engine failure at Indy the triple crown would have been his

@@sumitblogs15 indy500 had a few people who could win it that year

@@sumitblogs15 Absolutely! Couldn't agree more. Fernando Alonso' resume is unparalleled. The man is also a World Endurance Champion. And he also has 2/3rds triple crown in endurance racing as well. A double world champion and has 2/3rds of the triple crown of both motor racing and endurance racing. Alonso is the greatest to ever drive four wheelers in the history of mankind.

@@sumitblogs15 No he isn’t. Hamilton is better.

@@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133 We don't care. Hamilton hasn't driven shitboxes in his entire career, so be quiet.

Yep, he’s really promising as a rookie

Could easily get atleast 2 championships in the right car, imo

If only he joined reno in 2003, could of probably beaten Michael…

@@nineisalso6237 The Michael

@@pranauvgnanavel3921 maybe with renault? I am not so sure..

Kimi would have won in 2005 if Alonso hadn't

@@itsmatt517 kimi would've won in 2005 if the mclaren didn't break down every race

Kimi would have won in 2003 if the car didn't break down. But Ferrari had the better package.

@@KepleroGT Williams too if their engine didn't blow up every other weekend too

2005 with the bad tyres, no. But 2006, yes and 1998 without Coulthards dumb move in Spa.

@@MrEtienne6657 He was toxic with his rivals and his team before WEC help him a lot for being a sportsman like today

You mean the guy that had equal points with a rookie after being double champion?

@@alexlacl8730 i wouldn't say "toxic" but rather emotional, most of the time he would apologize for whatever he did/say in the heat of the moment. For example after his famous incident and cooldown room argument with Felipinho he apologized afterwards

@@egemencankaya5096 no he means the guy who defended for like ten laps in an Alpine against a Mercedes.

@@egemencankaya5096 with a rookie that was given preferencial treatment?

I thinks it’s the best sounding car on the grid

I just LOVE when the Alpine is passing through. This Renault engine is by far the most recognizible by it's sound

If he drives Merc or RB, nightmare for everyone

Stop overhyping him. He has the 5th fastest car and can’t even finish on the podium while Vettel, Gasly and Russell did with inferior cars. Russell qualifying 2nd isn’t luck and Vettel and Gasly took capitalised on the circumstances in Baku while this guy was NOWHERE🤣🤣🤣

@@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133 they had luck dumbo

@@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133 stop hating and give him the credit he deserves, just take a look at the overtaking table, he is not the first at the overtaking rank because he still qualifies better than the rest and still overtakes more

@@gioedm8739 Vettel is leading the overtaking award.

And a jail is just a room... wait wrong answer

@@julicanoto15I'm waiting... type the right answer..

"I disliked Alonso so much because he beat Micheal" : that's the definition of unfair sport supporting :)

@@Gazeld literally everyone on social media lol

@@thedoxter2833 social media means the most biased source of trend you can refer to. You social media is not the same as mine, as it is configured for you. (You see it for politics etc.). At least on F1 channel the praising comments on Alonso are legends.

Same here. For me it was doubly frustrating because I think ocon is mediocre at best. So to see a mediocre driver out perform Fernando was awful

Alonso is overrated.

@@Firebolt1729 hater

😨😨😨😨😨😨😨???? What???

Well said

Yeah, and he run it with any hesatation. Rememeber Sainz last year crishing there and ending his race.

He said at the start of the season. If everyone is running off in 1st turn to gain advantage with no penalties, maybe i should try too

It's not to stay out of the chaos, it was premeditated to show the limits of the current rules, that he doesn't like, because the drivers he was overtaking there were staying ahead of him by going straight. He executed his prepared machiavelic plan to perfection :)

Well said. He is a delight to watch

@Християн Димов We saw his “magic” against Hamilton in 2007 and Trulli in 2004.

So we can hear his accent better ! 😁

priorities

He won't fight, he Will be the nigthmare of everyone, and the winner (or Max), and, he Will have great battles with Max

He will get humiliated by Hamilton again.

Top 5 drivers IMHO - Hamilton, Leclerc, Alonso, Verstappen, Russel. Would love to see those 5 battle in equal machinery. Russel will create a few upsets next year in the Merc I think.

@@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133 Maybe yes or maybe no

Ask yourself why he’s not in a Mercedes.

Yet only has two championship’s , he’s only slightly better than Kimi.

@@thekitowl hes far better then kimi bro 2014 is a great example LOL

@@thekitowl Slightly? LOL. I like Kimi but Alonso is a whole different level

@@Ricsi15 yet only won one more WC , so not that great & once he left the teams did better.

@@thekitowl 2014?

Yeah and he passed trough the bollards flat out without zero hesatation. Rememeber last year when Sainz crushed there.

Himself mentioned... if the rest can do it without penalties, I will also do it (Steria GP with Ricardo/Leclerc)

You think? I thought it was close to cheating. Was half expecting him to be told to give the places back as he overtook them off the race track.

@@bentp4891 Thats the point. He has been saying all season about drivers overshooting turn 1 to gain an unfair advantage and the FIA didn't do anything about it. He basically said if everyone else is going to do it then so will I.

You will have one more championship. The third one. It's the plan.

It was Leclercq but yes, it was so fun! 🤣

Alonso's line

No he isn’t. He has the fifth fastest car and can’t get a podium when Vettel, Gasly and Russell did so in inferior machinery.

@@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133 all 3 drivers have less points then them tho except for gasly lol
