@@michamarczuk1420 Exactly, he's doing lift and coast at the end of every straight. He was saving fuel because he knew the Renault was slower than McLaren in this track.
@@michamarczuk1420 If I'm not wrong, in Barcelona pre-season they were already faster than Renault in race pace. And exactly the same in race simulation in Australia FP2. Renault were faster in one lap, but not in pace. And of course, Alonso knows how it's done when you are behind a slower car but you can't overtake it, saving fuel.
Maybe he is not a perfect person. Maybe his decisions were not good etc., but in my opinion he's a really fantastic driver. Defenitely, one of THE GREATEST. That's why I love watching him, when I started to watching Formula 1. I was Alonso's fan and supporter all his career.
So do I. Guy just has the best racing acumen and will go head to head against anyone. Sad most his teams cant provide him with a good racing car that would match his talents
Julian97 it’s because of how bad the dirty air is. If you brake later than the car ahead you will have significantly less grip midcorner compared to if you brake slightly earlier. Lifting before braking makes it much easier to time you braking points compared to other cars, which allows him to drive close to other cars without making mistakes. Perfect example is 4:34, the Renault ahead misses the apex because of the dirty air and has a worse line for the rest of the corner. Fernando hits it perfectly and gets a great exit allowing him to get a run on the Renault.
To give you an idea of how slow the car is, in the Bahrain GP, his gap behind stretched to an entire minute. So he was deserted by the later part of the race.
@@jonathanmanca7251 yep and we saw how much Vettel struggled with a car which was enough to lead the midfield and in case of Charles,fight for podiums,now put them both on a 2014 ferrari
Something about the sound of the car makes me think that there is something wrong or loose. Idk maybe it’s just me. Did y’all notice that steering tho, why does it look like it’s not calibrated. The car came along way for the year after
it happens when you haven't good downforce, when you have good downforce the car goes straight to the apex just turning the steering a little bit, but alonso has to do many movement in his steering

He's definitelly driving like he's saving fuel. It's insane also that he finished p5, in front of verstappen.
Michał Marczuk looks more like he is saving the tires instead of fuel.
@@gky3019 Not really, you can hear he's coasting before the corners

Same here
@@mirulmustdie Me too
It sucks that people are angry for some reason because of his unlucky career instead of being sorry and feel lost out on seeing more great battles
So do I. Guy just has the best racing acumen and will go head to head against anyone. Sad most his teams cant provide him with a good racing car that would match his talents
@hernandezmarzal Of course, for me, too. 👍🏻😏
Car doesn't want to corner and no straight line speed. Yet for Alonso to get the performance out of it that he did shows just how much talent he has.
Fuel saving at the start is a bit strange but also clever due to everyone battling, slowing eachother down
Maybe also tire saving so he can push later in the race

I don’t think he was. I think it was more so engine temps and dirty air.

I really love his downshifts. He is the only driver who shift like this😍
Everyone else: grrrrrrr tssssss dududu dun dun
Alosno: grrrrr DUN DUN DUN DUN
I really want Lewis and Sebastian to be in slow cars to see what they can do. Those two (except for Seb in 07-08) haven’t been in slow cars since.

So after 2 years, you've seen this come to light. Is it what you expected?
Jesus Christ talk about understeer city
Are we just gonna forget how he jumped ahead of that red bull at the start even with this car
McLaren were pretty quick in this race. And car performance doesn’t really make a difference at the start, it’s 99% driver.
You should consider the fact that alonso is the king of his own car and a grandmaster at launching
@@joshbendor1840 yes he is!
@@joshbendor1840 in one of the starts with his ferrari (i think), he launched just a couple of frames after the lights went out

it happens when you haven't good downforce, when you have good downforce the car goes straight to the apex just turning the steering a little bit, but alonso has to do many movement in his steering
My english is bad im spanish sorry jeje
I think he was trying to get temps in them
He has always used the steering wheel like that
Before turn 6 he choose different line from the other drivers. This is old school driving. Great Fernando.

See kids this is how its done, its lap one - no need to throw it up the inside every corner
Lmao no the car is so fucking slow he can't divebomb anyone
He seemed to be fighting the car all the time
The car was heavy with fuel at lap 1
lifting and coasting into the braking zones was perfect, and he still was able to catch up to the renault, beautiful
What a slow car! Alonso is right!
Player One
He was actually conserving his tires for later on apparently
Haha. :-D
- "The engine feels good... Much slower, than before. Amazing!"
But this quote is from Catalunya 2017, when McLaren was using Honda's engines. :-P
@@sonjohono1 there's no way he's conserving tyres when he can't even take turn 13 right
the orange car with the black halo beautiful
I miss Fernando Alonso what a fantastic driver
now we can fight
Sad
I'm the 69th like
is the track still wet ?? looks like he was cruising around.
He isnt using the bizarre steering technique on that mclaren.
He is still understeering like he always used to do
So much understeer in every corner it's almost painful to watch
Lift and coast during the first lap? Caused by cold brakes or it's because they were saving fuel???
Avoiding dirty air and managing temperatures
That Maclaren looks like very hard to drive
Triste final para un grandioso piloto que terminó corriendo con un motor de CHIPICHU hahaha. Pobre Alonso...

His whole steering looks so aggressive. Maybe the Mclaren required it...or maybe he was just that aggressive
nah, that mclaren was just pure trash
@@AreYouJulius In that race race it was ok. P5 in the end and the legendary " now we can fight" quote. But yeah, over te whole season it was SHIT
The car looks so unbalanced and hard to push compare to 2019 McLaren. I think engine wasn't really a problem. Just overall car was garbage.
This car understeers like hell
He s warming the tyres
Look how hard he is having to fight the steering, that 2018 McLaren was a pile of shit. Alonso dragged that thing to the points finishes that he got.
Honda GP2 engine 🐢
