7:28 Watching Alonso's head snap from side to side as he keeps an eye on the other drivers while making split-second decisions, executes moves, and figures out what he is going to do next is nothing short of fascinating. I wish my computer had as much processing power as that 40 year old driver. Legend.
Fernando always had that, he's an amazing driver, many people disrespect him and underrated him after his Mclaren bad era, but he is an was an insane fast and profesional driver, he showed it many many many times in the last 20 years+, a truly Legend
it won't be there next year. f1 has a 10-year deal with qatar for 2023 onwards. whether that will be at losail or another circuit (possibly a doha street circuit) remains to be seen.
Top 2 : Verstappen insane start and overtake 3 car at the start. Top 1 : Alonso overtake Gasly on the Outside turn 2. Not in the top 10 : Ocon insane start, overtake 2 car a the start AND overtake Sainz on the outside turn 2. I mean it's like the start of Verstappen and the overtake of Alonso 2 in 1 and not even in the best onboard... COME ON ! Go check it if you don't see it :)
Why exactly? I see a very professional engineer giving precise instructions to his driver. Did y'all expect him to sing or something? This isn't a reality show
Tsunoda from Lap 2 to Lap 10 when he went down to the Pit had a visor tape stucked in rear wing. As a result, he lost 50 downforce points and balance, so other drivers could easily overtake him back then, and Yuki had no way to defend himself. Otherwise, Tsunoda would not be passed. Not him.
He definitely doesn't get enough recognition; especially when he does drive a spectacular race, most of the time it gets swept under the rug until he does make a mistake. Nice coming across your comment.
The new drivers are very streamlined, whereas Alonso and Kimi have very snappy driving styles. They push the car to the max and correct it when it goes beyond. Crazy
Alonso is a legend ad I’m happy to see so many comments of appreciation in these days. I would add one detail that emerges from this video in the last seconds: he was involved in the incident of Bottas’ puncture (he was the following car) and he opens via radio saying immediately that track is clear, no need for slippery flag because he was afraid of a probably safety car in order to clear the track that could possibly cost him the podium. Very experienced driver, I start loving him in his Ferrari days and I’ll never stop 🔴🇮🇹🇪🇸
Wow, Alonso. Not only a fantastic driver but a master of racecraft in general. His tire management, insight to strategy and overall awareness of his surroundings and competitors is truly stunning. In a quicker car, Max and Hamilton would be in serious trouble.
Incredible Max start, Perez chase to Alonso, a lot of high-speed puntcher, Alonso first F1 Podium in comeback season and 3 way fight 🤩👍 The best premiere in F1 pls more Qatar gp in F1 🤩🤩👍
Latifi: Confirming jumping from the car. Engineer: It's safe, but jump. Engineer puts hand on mic and whispers to colleague: 'I just want to see him do it'
@@nukdawn8529 I think it is because if the ERS battery is not fully emptied, the driver could become the path of least resistance from the chassis to the ground when he has one foot on either and get electrocuted. The cars also have indicators for the marshals to see if the car is safe to touch.
verstappen rarely breaks late. they just have so much better aero on their car, especially the reddbull that they can afford to be braver than other teams
Watching Alonso position his car on the track, both at the time of overtaking and defending from Gasly is fascinating. He knew mid corner where to position the car to not only make it cleanly at the next corner, but also to force Gasly on the outside and not allow Gasly to take advantage of his tow. Perfection...
Alonso in Baku 2018 got a rear right and front right punctures at the same time, made it to the pits and still finished 7th in a McLaren which wasn't anywhere close to the form it is today.
Alonso's chop on Verstappen was also prep work to go around the outside of Gasly. From almost dropping to 4th he moves to 2nd the next turn. Still, Max got out of there just in time; that move from Alonso was nasty. @8:14 That Alpine on Soft tires and throwing sparks, at night, is a thing of beauty. Alonso's iconic helmet helps too.
For me, when Alonso ´s car goes through Bottas´s car sparks it looks like how i imagine the onboard on the "DeLorean" of "Back To The Future" during the time travels.
8:49 Pra quê esmerilhar a Mercedinha com pneu furado desse jeito, Botinha? Achou que ia frear normal na curva? Tomou um tanto de brita no colo pra terminar mais sério o aviso prévio.
I just love how Alonso immediately thinks about Perez and tells over the radio that the track is fine after Bottas’ puncture to try to avoid a safety car that would help Perez come back on him
09.54 I hear the sound of the Renault engine Very promising for next year but I can only say they will get more podiums for next year. I'm not surprised that in 2023 Renault is competitive again
Am I the only one who is still not used to how Lance downshifts?? Starting at 3:08 And when you conpare with Seb, you will soon notice how much shakiness when he is turning, when Lance is in the Force India~Aston Martin days
Nope. he's been doing this for a while now.. and it concerns me. is the paddle too short? Does his left hand have an issue? He loses time when he downshifts and steers left.. never an issue with downshift to steer right.

@@bobbyfischer7179 i hope he is a future champion, that rookie in hungary can hold hamilton for some time, definitely have some serious skill
I've seen hundreds of overtakes that could be my favourite in F1 but Alonsos move on Gasly at 07:14 is insane, car is twitching all over the place
yeah, just look at how many time he watched mirrors and how fast he reacted while overtaking and defending
Yes it’s called on the limit 😈
7:28 shows not really. Alonso was making the car twitchy with those large steering inputs.
I noticed it too! Sliding like a rally car. That was incredible to watch
@@vyke2107 That's what happens when you lose grip, the steering wheel twitches like that. That wasn't Alonso doing that himself.

I hate when they include stuff from practice instead of stuff from the race. we DON'T want to a solo lock up/off track incident
@Jens Randsdorp I believe it was available on f1tv
The F1 needs podium fighting Alonso. He is such a class. Give him a better car he will deliever everytime.
Give him a top6 car and he will stand on podiums, give him a car able to do some podiums and he will battle for a championship.
As simple as that
For 2022!

Stroll’s move on Tsunoda and defence against Bottas is criminally underrated.

@@hey2335 Is this a video game? How do we know how much downforce he lost?
@@ErickMcNerney Maybe because this was exactly what the engineer told him on the radio after Yuki finished the race?
Those Alpines have to have the prettiest livery of the pack! Gorgeous cars!
n.1 for me is the overtake of ALO on GAS Lap 1, incredible masterclass
Thank you guys so much for not putting any annoying music over this one. Sooo much better with just raw racing sounds.
Alonso's onboard behind Bottas with puncture was scary tho
It was kinda cool at the time though
Fernando is so fun to watch, just carving up the competition off the line.
Nice profile pic by @yurishwedoff
Tbh it was a decent race. Better than expected at least
Only because of uncertainty in tyres and mixed pit strategy. And happens only the first time.
ye, just an average race
not boring, but not super either
way more overtakes than anyone would have expected
@@manojlds is because there are fast corners and the load on the front left is really demanding, similar as Silverstone, Catalunya
Love how professional the radio talk is. And the respect for other drivers when they mention them by name.
Stroll turning defense into offense against Tsunoda and Bottas was brilliant
He definitely doesn't get enough recognition; especially when he does drive a spectacular race, most of the time it gets swept under the rug until he does make a mistake. Nice coming across your comment.
@@ballaking1000 He's a great race driver. He really doesn't ever hurt the car, him and Seb are like the opposite of Sergio and Ocon.

That Alonso move on Gasly 🔥🔥🔥
This was an epic race
Everyone at start: Goes left to avoid sand.
Verstappen: Goes right.
IQ: 500.
Even if Ocon didn't defend like a lion, he sure fought like one even if for a moment.
Wow, that Alpine actually sounds really pretty, like an LMP1

Love watching f1
No comments on Valtteri’s rally skills? I was impressed he was able to drive and steer the car out of the gravel trap on a blown front tire no less!
Alonso in Baku 2018 got a rear right and front right punctures at the same time, made it to the pits and still finished 7th in a McLaren which wasn't anywhere close to the form it is today.
Bottas: I have a puncture
Also Bottas: accelerates and then brakes at his usual spot, as if nothing happened
That was my first thought 🤣
I bet he was thinking of all the glory Hamilton got doing it Silverstone and he got it in his head he needed to fly along with that flat tyre 🤣🤣
Honestly by lap 40 i didn't even care if Hamilton or Verstappen won, i just wanted Alonso to get that podium.
This season has been actually great!
Williams and Alpha Tauri onboard sound is insane
Schumacher fighting off the Williams is a big lol
1:58 I love the sound of that Honda engine on low revs.
Le son du moteur Renault sur l'Alpine est vraiment incroyablement beau!! je pense que c'est l'échappement ou le bloc thermique qui fait la différence.
