Fernando Alonso's Titles & The Toppling of Ferrari l Undisputed F1 

@@maverickm4802 Bruh chill. It isn't even 5min since video got uploaded.

@@user-bm9cv9vn2k This video is going to spark some heat hahah

@@maverickm4802 Raikkonen clearly deserved it over Alonso. Kimi had a similar car, but 3 retirements from the lead, and three 10-place grid penalties, ALL OF WHICH he would have won. That's 6 races on the table guaranteed to go to Kimi. Montoya, Fisichella, Wurz, Michael and DeLaRosa were all similar. It was Kimi making the difference and being let down by horrendous reliability. Alonso lost to Trulli in 2004 and DID NOT deserve the 2005 title.

@@maverickm4802 Hmmm I wonder why someone might dislike a driver who BLACKMAILED a multi-million dollar revenue private corporation in 2007. Shocker!!

Talent, Alonso was my favourite driver and I hope he can get Alpine's first win, which would be fitting since he got Renault's last one in 2008 at Japan. They really should bring back that livery as well. 👌

sebastian arguably was close in 2015

@@CYMotorsport Really? He finished 103 points behind Lewis, in 2012 the Ferrari with luck was the third best car that season

@@CYMotorsport But I have to admit Mercedes was very superior in 2015.

"Alonso’s 2012 was his greatest ever, no mistakes in a vastly inferior car to the red bull" If that Red Bull was so superior how come McLaren won as many races (7) and had as many poles (8) ? If the Red Bull was so superior how did 6 different constructors win races and 8 different drivers? Fact is Sauber nearly won in Malaysia with Perez and Force India nearly won with Hulkenberg in Brazil. This tells you that no car was really dominant and that they all stole points from each other. This is where reliability starts to play an important part. This is also why Ferrari finished 2nd in the point standings merely 60 points behind Red Bull and ahead of McLaren in 3rd. Did I tell you Mark Webber finished the 2012 championship in 6th? Sure that was a "dominant Red Bull" ? Massa finished 7th behind him. Hamilton and Bottas have finished 1-2 in both 2019 and 2020. They had a dominant Mercedes. Vettel and Webber most definitely did *not* have a dominant Red Bull in 2012. Webber would have finished 6th otherwise. Oh, and who was that finishing 3rd in the championship? Kimi Raikkonen in the Lotus. Well, that must mean he was a better driver than Hamilton since he finished ahead of him in the championship. Or maybe *reliability* worked better for Kimi than it did for Hamilton. Once you realize that things become a bit more clearer what reliability means. You see failing to finish spells zero points. When you know that Vettel commandingly led the Europan GP for the 33 first laps and retired with an alternator failure and Alonso inhered 25 points with Kimi's Lotus finishing 2nd and old man Schumacher finishing 3rd after Maldonado took Hamilton out with 2 laps to go. Grosjean was chasing down Alonso on the 40th laps in 2nd place when *his* alternator ended that threat. Vettel finishing (he would have won) this race alone makes him an easy 2012 champion and you wouldn't be talking today about how amazing Alonso's drive was in the "inferior Ferrari" - which somehow still finished 2nd and ahead of McLaren while Webber somehow ended up 6th with Massa 7th. Anybody will agree that 2012 was of the most evenly matched fields in F1 history - save for maybe 1982. In which Keke Rosberg *won* the title with a NA car lacking some 100-150hp on the turbo cars from Ferrari, Renault and Brabham and the rather revolutionary all carbon fiber monocoque McLaren MP4 driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson. " in a vastly inferior car to the red bull." The 2020 Ferrari was vastly inferior. The 2012 most certainly not. Webber finished 6th in 2012 and Massa 7th. That is all you need to know. Kimi finished ahead of Hamilton who was in a "vastly superior" McLaren. You don't mention reliability once. Not *once* .

@@jamesshunt5123 You are right in almost everything, but we all agree that the best car that season was thr Mclaren at least until the mid season, from then the Red Bull started to be the best car. In the other hand the Ferrari was a very reability car, but it was slow af, in melbourne this car was 1,6 seconds off the fastest car(Mclaren), the only way Alonso could make a pole, was in the rain, and it was like that, Silverstone and Hockenheim proves it. Sebastian drove great, but not at the same level of Alonso, that's all.

that clown can have my email, address, and mobile haha I'd pay good money to interview him live no cuts no ending it early

@@CYMotorsport hear F'ing hear. Man needs a slap to wake up and realise how much it's hitting the fan at Ferrari. Atleast call him out for the way he handled Seb

"engines don't win titles, cars do" -before 2014 "drivers don't win titles, cars do" -after 2014

@@alexandrumantaluta224 I don't think anyone of us claims to know more than he does about F1, but as a fan base we do have a certain right to criticize and analyse. Ferrari as a team have been a proper shambles the last two years, even when their car was competitive the entire team was acting like clowns, and in the end the buck stops with Binotto. The man is holding two vital positions in the team at one time, his public handling of his drivers has been horrible, and the team keeps making blatant strategy errors and we don't see that chaging any time soon. As an Engineer I'd be lucky to be even 50% as qualified as Mattia, but that doesn't change the fact that he earns all the criticism he's getting

@@CYMotorsport haha I’d pay good money to see that

I HAD to do this one. bc ppl would bet their life I hate nando. it'll be interesting to see how anyone who discounts his titles reacts to this. bc calling me bias for him is literally IMPOSSIBLE haha

I'm glad you enjoy them! I'm just sure to listen to you all and make sure I can improve in areas that matter

Ah, have fun bro, just respect every driver regardless of their personal lives, cz it's their skill which we see :)

Also as someone who grew up in that time it‘s very appreciated as well. I was like 7 yo at the time and I remember it being close and very competitive but as you would expect I wouldn‘t understand the technical side. Now that I‘m interested in this side of F1 I‘m really grateful those videos exist not to mention that they bring a lot of nostalgia.

the man can drive there is no denying that

Not even better than peak Kimi imo. Or Michael, or Mika or Lewis.

@@ciaronsmith4995 You severely overrate Mika. The guy was a speed demon in Quali but he was only good from 97-00. Once his car wasn't faster he started to decline and that's why he retired in 01. Kimi only shined for 5-6 years in his career. Even Seb would be better considering that he was good from 08-17.

@@adityanarain9428 Mika was scared after Australia 2001 it reminded him of his Adelaide crash don't talk nonsense. Kimi shined every single year except 2008, 2014, 2015 and 2017 in the longest career of all time. Mika and Kimi at their peaks would crush Vettel easily, it's not even debatable frankly. Raikkonen is transcendent when he's comfortable with the setup and has peerless racecraft while Mika is braver than anyone out there.

@@ciaronsmith4995 Well give me an argument why Mika and Kimi would crush Vettel? If you could say that Kimi needs a perfect setup than why can't I say Vettel also needs a stable rear and he would be good. Vettel was so fast in his youth that his engineer himself stated that in 2011 he was making the difference between Mclarens exaggerated.

I was thinking the same thing, and you're right. That's turn 4.

the spacing of curb to wall is also Bigger in t4

Yeah I thought WOC was on the last chicane

glad you enjoyed! it was certainly due after two critical videos of fernando. after a year of ppl thinking i hate nando, this oughta help out haha

I've been working this since before I had to change all the names to things haha

probably the best part of the 2017 video I left out was the tremendous technical wars regarding merc's heave spring. these elements could have videos all by themselves! good to hear from you again my friend

@@CYMotorsport We talk quite often on IG. 😁😉

@BannedCommander So 07 didn't happen? They weren't teammates right?

@@Bahamuttiamat In 2007 Fernando and Lewis finished with 109 points. Both had issues with reliability and Fernando was stolen the points in Hungary because of McLaren. If Fernando have had the dominant cars Lewis had across all his carreer, he probably could have as much titles as Lewis now have. Lewis is a great driver and talent but for me Fernando is better.

@@Bahamuttiamat They had the same number of points that season, though it doesn't even matter in terms of comparative talent. Put prime Alonso into the W05 or later and he'd still win; put prime Hamilton into the R25/R26 and he'd lose every time.

@@bannedcommander2932 LOL. Y'all sounding more and more desperate as time goes by. Believe what you want.

@@manjmac That's fair. It's fine being opinionated and choosing one driver over the next. However, hungary was self inflicted, as was canada, fuji, spain etc etc. Fernando lost to the rookie in terms of exposure and speed. Hamilton was more consistent which was a big surprise.

Alonso's prime Ferrari time level.. That level can crush any driver like a they're amateur compared to him... He bought a chariot in rocket ship fight in his Ferrari days🤣🤣... Still beating absolutely feared out of everyone.. Red Bull always said they won't Afraid of Ferrari but they know if anyone can beat them is Fernando Alonso... I watched 2010 to 2014 very carefully that every time Fernando with slow ferrai engage with rocket bulls always tension is huge in red bull garage... They're known if Ferrari just put 3 thenth off the pace of red Bull then game over for red bull... Alonso was that good extract about a second from that shitbox...

idk as well as he drove here, vettel was that and then some in his titles with that car

Relentless. Ahead or behind he was taking everything possible from each weekend and still does.

I'm eager to see what Red Bull ends up doing

@@CYMotorsport is it bad that I hope Sergio Perez outdoes Verstappen. Also what do you think of Vettel and AM. I mean Lawrence Stroll is likely willing to listen to Vettel. I mean Hulkenburg (I wish it was him instead of Stroll) gave feedback on the car and RP took that in.

Well this comment aged like fine wine after Hungary.

Alpine✅

@@lepakkox3970 only McLaren and AM left

Fernando would have been 5 time world champion if he had a better car againts vetter so close yet so far away

@@lopezjayson729 vettel had the same situation as Kimi. The RB was unreliable and the ferrari was not as bad as people think it was

Hi @@lopezjayson729 ‘07 FA had the fastest, most reliable car on the grid. He cost himself the title with his unassisted crash in Fuji. Although the findings in spy-gate show both he and LH should have been excluded from that Drivers Championship. ’10 If not for mechanical failures from Vettel’s RBR car that directly benefited Alonso together with team orders within Ferrari that championship would not have been close. ’12 Mclaren had the fastest car and Ferrari by far the most reliable with 0 mechanical failures on race day for both FA and Massa. On paper Vettel should not have won that championship, somehow he did.

@@Born2rue 2012 Alonso shouldnt even been in top 5 with that dog car, ferrari was over a second slower on qualy, and those 2 poles Alonso took in rain, in dry didnt had a single chance. Just look how bad Massa finished to understand that ferrari was 4th car that year

@@Born2rue Red Bull was the best car in 2010 and 2012. And Ferrari was the best car in 2007, not McLaren. Seriously, Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel are both overrated. They frankly had some amazing cars like 2008 Ferrari ( Raikkonen ), 2009 Red Bull ( Vettel ), 2012 Lotus ( Raikkonen ), 2017-2018 Ferrari ( Raikkonen-Vettel ) that they massively underperformed in. Put Alonso to those cars ( 2008 Ferrari, 2009 Red Bull, 2012 Lotus, 2017-2018 Ferrari ) and he would have won the title in most of those years. In 2010 Ferrari was the 2nd best car behind Red Bull and in 2012 Ferrari was the 3rd best car, behind Red Bull and Lotus. In 2007 McLaren was 2nd best car behind Ferrari.

had a genuine blast covering it!

these two seasons genuinely are the perfect blend of racing and tech! it's why it took so long. I still made mistakes but i'm not one to open my mouth about something unless i gave it a genuine try to fully immersive myself and understand

Alonso had a wheel fall off previously. They had the same number of DNFs. Dont take it too hard.

at least they are both german lol

that bastard never emailed back after responding to my twitter DM haha I think it would be hilarious to have storey approve a branding deal with the channel haha

sometimes it'll take a while but I promise to keep my word!

@@CYMotorsport I can imagine it takes a while to make these videos. They are very high quality! Hope things are working out.

all credit to the designer my friend ! he crushed the thumbnail :)

the first draft was WAY too heavy on numbers.I knew it was going to be tough covering Fernando without obsessing over things that hadn't happened yet but I overcompensated too much. I spent a solid week with the mass damper talking to folks and engineers as well going through the docs. Hopefully this final version is more digestible and a good balance! but I'll be doing a numbers only series here soon. not gonna be for everyone but you may enjoy ! I'll let you know when its ready

@@CYMotorsport good i ll like that. Thanks CY

They are all a bunch of Wankers ;)

glad you enjoyed it my friend!

it was a cool story bc the players changed so dramatically. ppl love tlaking how close he was in 2012 and 2010 but fail to call out he nearly lost both 2005 and 2006 with the closest constructors races in history

it's been a long time coming working on this monster! enjoy friend

i agree

Try they will to get rid of me. Succeed they will not!

big keebs guy here!

going a solid 12 videos strong including the Nico flames meme haha glad you enjoyed mate got a lot more on deck

I got you. I do need to shorten them. that actually was the plan. but I promised alonso content and as you can guess, he can be a bit of a touchy subject haha. but I am def going to experiment with it. to be honest I'm fucking shit at short stuff - i feel like I'm wasting time but that's my insecurity, not reality

@@CYMotorsport well I enjoy the content you give me so just keep doing what you’re doing. Mark Rober only makes 12-15 videos a year and people watch him haha... (side note from another post) If you actually got Mattia on here I would buy the PPV! Haha

I got you!

means a lot sir thanks. while im writing, editing, researching etc I remember how important your time is and it drives a lot of the effort.

always!

Thanks for the constructive criticism! Actually considering a whole new workflow for audio. I use a very very sensitive mic so it works great but at the same time any flaws or errors I have in the mixing are insanely obvious. I’m no professional audio engineer but come a long way haha this will be the next step. It’s good to hear that critique to remind myself it doesn’t matter it’s 10x better than 6 months ago, it’s still not to the level I want. Cheers mate

enjoy friend!

@@CYMotorsport Thanks! All the best from your fans up north!

I'll go quicker now that this bad boy is done. had to make sure it got done right - thanks for your patience Tunga!

thanks man - its nice to have other content creators to chat with throughout these processes

this was a fun one for sure. shit at first. then stressful. then a slog. then it got fun again haha

I knew at some point i'd have to revisit it! glad you enjoyed it :)

Haha well you may not like my take there :)

@@CYMotorsport Oh god that felt like getting shot 😂

so long as you are entertained Faz1o! glad you enjoyed

@@CYMotorsport seriously man I've probably binged all your videos in the last week or 2 lol, so thank you!

BTW 4.11 , thats not the 'wall of champions' bro.

I would def say this is accurate

it's literally unseeable. him and ricciardo haha

yeah someone beat you to it. I'm putting in the corrections as we speak!

haha tried to stay away from memes but that one was tough

thanks angelo - all for you all so enjoy!

IMO f3 was even better. and that was actually my video I made two videos ago . a monster of a video for a young american racer. has less views but it was fun as hell. def my more underrated video but again you'd have to be into f3 to really appreciate it . it's the logan sargeant video.
