Top 5 Hamilton vs. Alonso Duels in F1 

The fact that he even thought of defending with a Honda powered Mclaren is mind blowing

I love how both Lewis and Alonso slowed down for the DRS in Canada

Alonso in Hungary 2021 was an absolute masterclass of defensive driving. One of the best displays you'll ever see.

4:45 Love this - Hamilton lifts off to try and let Alonso edge ahead before the DRS line. Alonso spots it immediately and also backs off to make sure he gets the DRS instead. These two never miss a trick.

I wish Alonso had more years in competitive machinery so that we could see these two have more epic battles.

One thing you can't deny, Alonso is always defending like it's for P1

Alonso held Hamilton long enough for Ocon to secure his and Alpine first F1 win. Beautiful race and excellent teamwork

That 2007 McLaren line-up of Hamilton and Alonso was crazy. In terms of sheer driver quality, it was the best F1 driver line-up since Prost and Senna. The car was absolutely gorgeous, as well.

At 8:03 : Alpine mechanics laughing in disbelief, bald guy looks over like what a legend Fernando is. They’re admiring the magic he has

Both slowing down before the DRS detection zone was 4D chess.

The most amazing thing is how clean and great this battles are. Great drivers both of them, lucky to have been able to see them racing together.

Alonso on the Alphine holding off lewis for 10 laps… simply amazing and satisfying to watch

ALO's talent deserves a better car. I hope the "reset" of 2022 provides him one!

The 2 legends of f1 with such a great battles and legacy, we are lucky to witness all this and the one happend last week.

An updated video is needed.

Alonso showing the kind of wheel to wheel action we should have had between Verstappen and Hamilton....

So happy that Nando is back on the grid. And he's back like he never left. What a legend 🙌

These two legends gave us an incredible battle on a track where overtaking is difficult….nothing but respect

Alonso in the McLaren and Alpine holding Lewis back in a Mercedes shows us who the better driver is between them. One was always a car champion and the other one takes so much more out the cars that he has in the years.

I'm a massive Lewis fan since 2007 (I'm 23) but can't deny Fernando's talent, 2 absolute legends of the sport, will miss them in a few years

Brundle whenever he sees someone defend: **W I D E**

1:28 I love how Alonso asked his engineer if what Lewis did was fair instead of falsely shouting that it was illegal so the stewards penalise him. And people call him toxic.

Lewis and Fernando are legends, and 2 of my favourite drivers, great to see them still battling to this day!

gotta update this after Bahrain 2023!!

Alonso and Hamilton deserve the upmost respect!

This channel's admin knows EXACTLY what he's doing

We got some new footage with the 2023 bahrain GP !

The way Alonso slows down on the apex at 07:40 with Lewis behind him is so well timed!! So impressive

4:45 Lewis wanted to trick alonso so he get the DRS for the next straight but alonso said no thank you, brilliant awareness from alonso

Alonso really is one of the best wheel-to-wheel racers ever!

I think It's time to update this video with Bahrain 2023.

Alonso is just a phenomenon, He is 40 years old, and the enthusiasm is greater than that of many young people))

Give Alonso a competitive car and he’ll be fighting for the championship…

"This is the racing we want to see" No hate for Lewis & No hate for Alonso. They are legends it doesn't matter how many titles they have. ❤Lewis💞Alonso❤

I'm pretty sure you guys will need to rework on the video.. by the end of current season, there will be plenty more additions

passing alonso is like trying to pass a tractor on a village road. it will take a while lol

The day Lewis, Kimi, Alonso, and Vettel retire will be a sad day.

Alonso is the most underachieving driver all due to his team choices. I wish he can have one more competitive car and win a third championship.

The mind games in Canada made me have chills down my spine, due to both of them being such amazing smart drivers.

I think that you should've added their fight in Australia 2010. Hamilton was much faster and on a much fresher rubber, but Alonso was making 0 mistakes.

F1 won’t be the same without these two

7:38 is a perfect example (you can see Hamilton do the same to Alonso in the example shown at Canada at the final hairpin) of race craft. Parking it on the apex and pausing for a second before accelerating. This forces the car behind to get off throttle so they don't run into the car ahead, ruining their momentum.

Fernando really deserves a competitive car, what a great driver he is.

The fact that Alonso is doing these things in tomato cans for the most part...

This shows why imo Alonso is one of the all time greatest, even without the high number of championships. His skills and ability is unrivaled. Even MSC himself struggles more after his comeback. And Fernando has always been able to outdrive a car. Sooo great that newer fans also get to see his talent live!

Alonso vs Webber Alonso vs Lewis Some great battles and overtakes with these guys 🤝

This is frigging spectacular. These two date back from decades ago. Both starting at age 8. Beautiful, priceless racing Legends. Love these two individuals so much.

Hello I'm coming from the future! In 2023 he's crazy move to Aston Martin will pay off!

This video in one word: TALENT.

You gotta love to see all the people that were hating on Alonso are now praising him for his skills…

LAP 1 SPA 2022 MISSING

4:44 Hamilton brakes to get DRS out of Alonso. Alonso reads his mind and brakes too. Excellent racing.

The 2007 McLaren(the MP4-22) is the most beautiful F1 car ever imo. I absolutely looooved how futuristic and space age science fiction the cars looked during the 2007 season. They were like spaceships. It's how an F1 car should look. Aesthetics, style & design wise they were and still are the best looking F1 cars ever imo, Especially the chrome and red McLaren. It's so much more beautiful compared to today's much uglier cars. And even though the 2007 car such as that McLaren are way, waaaaay slower than today's cars they still just look super fast because of said aesthetics, style and design, they look mean, agile, so badass, purposeful and aggressive.. I love that vibe, you don't get that from the current cars imo. Maybe only the all black Mercedes of last season has recaptured that feeling to a lesser extent.

Can we just appreciate these two without the endless “who’s better than who” we see every week The last few weeks the f1 community has become the most toxic I’ve ever seen in over 16 years of watching the sport, it’s becoming ridiculous.

I always love the defensive skills for Alonso and late breaking for Lewis

I know the fact that hamilton is the greatest of all time can be debated! But what you can't debate is the sheer amount of skill he possesses

4:45 Just genious how they braked both before the DRS line to get DRS on the straight

F1 Liberty have been reading the fans comments since their Hungary duel, and blessed us with this video of these 2 legends. Let's hope Alpine give Fernando a better car for the 22 regs

Alonso is the best driver in dogfights of the current grid. Pure talent guys... Vamos Nando!!! 🇪🇸

This video makes it feel like these two legends have been fighting since the beginning of time.

Two excellent drivers

It’s sad that the f1 Community won’t appreciate these drivers until their gone. Regardless of if you like them or not you can’t deny talent when you see it.

Imagine what would’ve happened if Alonso actually accepted Honda’s offer that became Brawn and after that Mercedes …

Two monsters on the track. No matter what people say, their rivalry is one of the best if not the best. And to listen to those screaming V10s' and V8s' .

That Alonso vs Hamilton battle in Mexico 2017 was also very impressive

7:37 alonso brakes a bit while going through the apex so that Hamilton has to back off and he can’t get past. Brilliant!

Those battles are just breathtaking, I can't even imagine how exhausting that must be

One of my biggest regret is we never had as many battles between these two as we should have. Which made their 2007 battle and that last one in Hungary even more special.

Now Imagine if Alonso had better cars during his career

2 great champions we are blessed to watch these 2 warriors

The two best drivers of the modern era, both ultra competitive. Lot's of negative comments about both, I'm an Alonso fan but absolutely admire Hamiltons driving ability. Unless you know them personally I wouldn't base an opinion on them via the media.

It’s like Nando knows Hamilton’s lines when defending

👶 Alonso - Still great 🧒 Alonso - Still great 🧔 Alonso - Still great Overall nothing changed except for the number which is his age

Alonso is one of the best races this sport has ever seen

THIS is racing. Awesome collection of 2 brilliant and respectful drivers. We need more of this!!!

So underrated. One of the all time greats!

4:45 this was aboslutly ridicoulus, alonso is the best driver i ever seen

Hamilton have been the guy to beat in F1 for over 14 years. Some people will say "well it's the car" that's a cheap cheap argument. He was in the same car with Alonso at McLaren, he was in the same car with Rosberg and Rosberg managed to beat him to the championship in 2016 after trying for 3 years and then he retires. All the guys that have fought Lewis have all given up and teenagers have grown up (Max) to start fighting him again. What a stellar longevity. What a talent. What a hard worker.

I imagine Alonso on Hungary 2021 seeing Hamilton on his back and sayin': "Nice to see you again mate, let me show what I got yet"

Wow am I the only one who got goosebumps from watching this wow legendary racing legendary drivers 🔥

This time, Alonso was worried about the amount of fuel in his car

The way Alonso defended against Hamilton in Hungary gave me goosebumps

Okay Alonso really knows how to defend against Hamilton

Wow the racing with Alonso & Hamilton

Bonus battle: the entire 2007 season

The only guy on the grid who can make hamilton sweating even in a MERC is Freaking ALONSO even in an inferior car.i don't think even max can hold hamilton off for that much time even in redbull in hungaroring. This guy is a freakin' legend with calibre of 10 time world champion. I want him in a redbull or atleast in a ferrari in the following years so that he can fight for the championship.

This was absolutely legendary!

Looked to see more battles between Alonso and Hamilton in the future.

Narrator: "Has he got enough laps to do it" Alonso: "No Hamilton, you won't get the laps!"

I only started following f1 from 2019 but Alonso is definitely one of the greatest in my book

Two legends who'll remember these battles (particularly Hungary 2021) years after they've eventually retired. Hungary 2021 reminded me so much of the Gilles Villeneuve - Rene Arnoux battle in Dijon, 1979.

Its amazing that the battels of these two are most of them with Fernando having a car that had no right to be even on the points positions, and Hamilton with that dominants mercedes era

I want these two battling for the title in 2022 and 2023! Best drivers on the grid!

So glad to see these two battle it out. Even more impressive is that I've not yet seen the fan boys leaving silly comments. Regardless of who we support, let's recognise greatness when we see it.

Wow as duels it's insane

Loving the positivity and wholesomeness of the comments here. Respect for 2 exceptional, legendary drivers. This is fantastic stuff.

F1 milking it and i love to see it

Undoubtedly the best 2 drivers of their generation and arguable both in the top 5 of all time

Despite being a big Alonso fan, that 2007 Indianapolis fight is the prove of how talented Hamilton is. Rookie driver, defending against the 2 time defending world champion at the time, Alonso at the top of his game just pure master class. How fortunate we are to see this kinda battles.

This year we're going to have som much footage of these two fighting each other.
