Full Interview: Jeff Gordon Talks with Fernando Alonso 

And are they ACTUALLY going to be in the same team for Le mans??????????

Legends don't drive at the back of the grid

You're right. They win championships back to back beating arguably the greatest driver in the process and then go on to race for the most iconic teams earning respect from everyone around them.

@@MagicAyrtonforever shut up bitch

And 9 months later he won the Rolex 24

2 year later he won f1 title sayin from future, you know...

I hope he keeps trying for the triple crown.

Have you seen the video of Jeff driving Juan Pablo Montoya's Williams at Indy.

Imsa is a cross of open and closed cockpits cars. Closed like nascar but chassis engine closer to f1

Hehe... Hopefully this year will be better though, I'm an Alonso fan.

John McGuinness And the cars at LeMans are what exactly? It's not a trick question btw.

@@sp33dyjames40 Fernando's no.8 won the overall and LMP category at LeMans. Stunning night driving by Alonso at LeMans. Shows how much he can do with a good car. All he has left is Indy 500 to get the triple crown. Also he's going back to do Daytona. I assume as a one-off drive.

I wouldn't last that long if I was in a room with them

I was hoping for a half hour of shit talking and gearhead reverie. I love watching this stuff

Yes, there is definitely misconception that because of Nascars humble beginnings that it doesn't take as much skill. Fernando just set that straight! Not a better skill set, just different. Like the racing itself. I appreciate them both.

No top level racing is easy unless you have experience in it. Top drivers know they could do it but not without a lot of seat time

We certainly do in Australia.

No surprise that Jeff is part owner of the 48 car.

Most F1 drivers are cool and down to earth. The conceited assholes are the exception. Guys like Lewis Hamilton or James Hunt

We need a new chant for Alonso like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-I58YNyJf7vE.html Alonso is the best, Alonso number one (clap clap clap)

IKR

Whatcar?

He had a podium in his 3rd rally. It was the Al Ula-Neom Cross-Country Rally. He also did Dakar and finished 13th overall. Alonso barrel rolled his car off a huge dune and continued driving. It was insane. He'll be back again.

lmao I was about to say, that was cheeky

I think his point is more that no F1 engine would do 24 hours, they're engineered for a 90 minute blast... or 10-20 minutes if it's a Honda!

@@robin_holden Honda: GP2 ENGINE!

Yeah, I think it'll be a while before that comment gets forgotten! I hope they'll fare better with RBR next year.

Robbie Gordon? I hope you meant Jeff. Robbie wasn't that good.

Yea, I'm not a Nascar fan . . .

Robbie would probably provide Alonso’s seat for the Dakar Rally.

@Ridiculing Fools Alonso has now 1 more race, the Indy 500, to win to get the triple crown of motorsports after winning the LeMans 24H with Toyota

@@thelarry383 Robby Gordon is actually a phenomenal driving talent. His results don't really reflect that but he's one of the most rawly talented drivers in the world.

And a engine they want to race it

He's referring to his F1 contract. In 2017, F1 ran 20 races. In 2018, there's 21 races. This is a 1 of 1 race for Alonso, like Indy.

So alonso makes double the amount of money a year than Hamilton? 50 Mil is wildly inaccurate of a figure. Where did the announcer get that figure? lol

Hamilton makes $52 million per year.

Alonso has been the most payed driver in the f1 grid for many years

@@stinkbandit Hamilton signed a 140 million contract but that's over 3 years so you're looking at 46 mil a year. Alonso earns 50 mill a year.

He better get soon. Alonso already has a LeMans win.

A f1 champions and 1 of the best drivers ever

MyBallSack Itches Yea but I believe he had brake issues not even half way through the race.

Facts, he is. But with lewis dominating and max on the ascendancy, it's very hard and unlikely for him to win the 3rd.

Bahamuttiamat I can't disagree with that. I just want to see him fighting for race podiums and wins again.

I think he is actually more technically skilled than Lewis as for example he does not ever commits mistakes while under pressure but i don't see him winning a 3rd championship since theres also Vettel and Verstappen in the mix.

in equal cars i think alonso is better

MLCAgaming Lewis pushes to the bleeding edge of the cars capabilities which is why you will see more errors. He finds the limit. Just look at the season they were trammates at McLaren. Lewis dominated Fernando in an identical car. Fernando is great, but I disagree with the notion that he is more skilled than Lewis. Safer maybe, but that's not the way to win.

yeah, keep dreaming.

zzmartinus boohoo someone's very jealous
