Unrelated but I watched the 2005 European GP and was hoping Kimi Raikkonen would be able to nurse it to a win. It always happens and a bit of a shame.

You can not do anything but feel sorry for Nico Hulkenberg. Even if you hate him, you have to feel sorry for him. It is unbelievable he has never got a podium, this race was the closest he ever came. It is painful to think someone as talented as him has never got one. Hopefully Nico will be back on the grid and ready to get that podium.
Every time he had a chance to take a podium he made a blunder. Good driver but terrible under pressure. However, it's still crazy to think that Perez has 8 podiums and Hulkenberg has none
@moi paslui Thats a bad take. Ricciardo is deemed a better driver but Hulk was never really outclassed by him. He only missed out on a Ferrari seat because of height and weight issues. He is the nearly man.
@moi paslui I mean last season in Germany was his fault going wide and then not realizing how slippy it was there, but what I don't understand about that situation is how he wasn't told that if you went wide there, you couldn't recover. There were at least 4 cars going onti the gravel at that corner because there was absolutely no grip and one of those retired, but the engineer still didn't told him to be very cautious out there. WHY? Because if he did, the Hulk wouldn't have retired.
@moi paslui he didn't always blow them. Many times when he was fighting for a podium he was out either by machanical failure like in singapore 2017 or bad strategy calls like in monaco 2016.

Well Pérez is an amazing driver but he isn't as consistant over a season even if hes ussually the one to get that off podium. I think hulk is better
This has been the best F1 season of the decade and arguably the best in history. 8 different winners, 800+ overtakes, a bunch of awesome world champions together (Schumacher, Alonso, Hamilton, Button, Raikkonen, Vettel, Rosberg...), cars that were not SO distant between them (nowadays, there are only 3 teams fighting for the wins), good tracks... i miss these days.

At 0:27 his brakes started to lock up, he realizes the car in front of him was Sebastian Vettel, knowing that he cannot fully stop the car because he was locking up, he just then steered completely to his right just to avoid rear ending Seb, had Kimi not have the awareness that would've surely ended Seb's race even before the contact to Bruno Senna.
Anyone else think Kobayashi was underrated as hell? Edit: He got two 2nd Places at Le Mans in 2018 and 2019 and a pole in 2017 too and he’s winning the world endurance championship atm
Severely underrated. It was baffling, that he didn't get a race seat in 2013 and returned with a backmarker team in 2014. Like, the dude deserved WAY better than that
Yeah he literally had to finish first and first only to win the title (in that underperforming Ferrari). It came down to a three-point difference and again, a close title fight (like 2010 - only then Ferrari messed up on strategy).
We all have to appreciate Alonso that season. 2012 could have easily been a relatively easy championship for red bull but Alonso never gave up pushed his Ferrari to the limit and put himself in a championship position in a car that was no where near to the red bull.
That 2012 Ferrari was clearly the worst car of the 3 title contenders. It had reliability though. In terms of speed I think that McLaren had the edge that season. But let me quote, in order to finish first you first have to finish.
Coming back to hear all these iconic names is just such a throwback it's amazing to see this again. Cars almost the same speed, massive F1 names having their last race. It's amazing yet so emotional
Alonso did great, he is surely better driver than Vettel but people severely hype Alonso here, he didn't have any reliability issues, thanks to Ferrari. On the other hand Vettel had too many reliability issues. People severely downplay Vettel, especially final race, damage, radio malfunction, pitstop mess he overcame all odds and became a champion. Ferrari didn't have the best car but still it's second fastest and faster than redbull on straights for atleast 3/5 of the season. Thanks to Ferrari too, it atleast provided a car with better reliability than redbull. But still it's great drive from Alonso but not the best.
In Abu Dhabi the track was completely clear and they could race. Here Di Resta crashes on the main straight and on the racing line, his car is still there when you see Hamilton cross the line at the end.
2012 was the best F1 season I’ve ever seen (in 15 years watching at least). Alonso had the greatest possible driving with a goddamn bad car. Brazil 2012 was one of the most intense GP ever. At the end of the GP, I told myself « That’s why I watch F1 » and also « That’s why I won’t support any driver anymore ». Alonso loss was the most unfair and heartbreaking thing I lived with F1.
2012 was my favourite season ever. Williams, Sauber and Lotus right up there challenging for podiums and wins, Kimi’s return, Michael’s podium in Valencia, Alonso taking it to the final lap of the season in that dog of a Ferrari. Great memories
I really miss the sound of these engines. The naturally aspirated era was the best. The sound was intoxicating the speed was on another level. They didn't cry about every little problem.
Che gara, se penso che l'ho vista quando avevo 16 anni e vedere le gare di adesso mi viene da piangere anche a quanto il tempo passi velocemente , 2012 miglior annata di sempre
I remember supporting Alonso and Ferrari and screaming with joy at 0:36 and 1:20 as things went Alonso’s way, and a rollercoaster of emotions with moments like 1:45 and 4:40 but massive respect to Vettel fighting back to take the title.
Ahhhh the memories. I remember the whole thing like it was yesterday. Surely I ranked it as a race in my top 10 list of best races in my nearly 10 years of watching F1. Obrigado Interlagos
Thats called ‘recensy bias’, people remember brazil 2019 better, because this was 7 years earlier, a lot of new fans never watched this race, but they did watch the 2018 and 2019 seasonsus voting those
I feel like the older f1 races are way much more intense than the ones that are goin on rn. Especially in 2021. 2022 max has some cheat codes, he’s winning almost every gp.

@@bobinskiplays1779 Petrov xd
Alonso the real Goat of those years he made races fun to watch
Alonso's 2012 run might just be the greatest non-championship individual effort in the history of F1
Alonso did great, he is surely better driver than Vettel but people severely hype Alonso here, he didn't have any reliability issues, thanks to Ferrari. On the other hand Vettel had too many reliability issues. People severely downplay Vettel, especially final race, damage, radio malfunction, pitstop mess he overcame all odds and became a champion. Ferrari didn't have the best car but still it's second fastest and faster than redbull on straights for atleast 3/5 of the season. Thanks to Ferrari too, it atleast provided a car with better reliability than redbull. But still it's great drive from Alonso but not the best.
@@Gm345-v8o imagine wasting your time replying to a comment made 2 years ago. 🤦🏾♀️ get a life
2017 Vettel? 2022 by Leclerc?
Mansell 1986
No wonder you typed this comment before 2022. Albon's Williams stint says otherwise buddy by so far
Finishing a season under a safety car? Michael Masi would never!
That's because of an agreement.
@@varunpuligadda8360 Where did they agree to throw out the rulebook homie?
@@ReclusiveHTID Looks like you dont know squat about the rulebook, homie
In Abu Dhabi the track was completely clear and they could race. Here Di Resta crashes on the main straight and on the racing line, his car is still there when you see Hamilton cross the line at the end.
@@jayb2705 Um that was Jenson who crossed the line not Lewis.
2012 was the best F1 season I’ve ever seen (in 15 years watching at least).
Alonso had the greatest possible driving with a goddamn bad car.
Brazil 2012 was one of the most intense GP ever.
At the end of the GP, I told myself « That’s why I watch F1 » and also « That’s why I won’t support any driver anymore ». Alonso loss was the most unfair and heartbreaking thing I lived with F1.
that bad car finished 2nd in the championship. lol only 60 points behind red bull and that's because massa was bad in the first half of the season.
@@loukaspappas8476 Massa scored more points than Lewis Hamilton and Mark Webber in that goddamn bad car.
Had it not been for Grosjean messing up Alonso’s starts at Belgium and Japan, he would have had it… but that’s F1…
@@Kibouo Vettel´s Engine broke at Valencia, so that doesnt count at all?
@@zordiark9673 True, but I think Grosjean messed up Alonso’s race twice, at Spa and Suzuka
2012 was my favourite season ever. Williams, Sauber and Lotus right up there challenging for podiums and wins, Kimi’s return, Michael’s podium in Valencia, Alonso taking it to the final lap of the season in that dog of a Ferrari. Great memories
5:38 you can see alonso's pain there
Alonso deserved a title with Ferrari...probably this one.
Thank you Romain
Vettel deserves one too
This was the season that cemented Alonso as an F1 legend. That car did not deserve to be anywhere near the title fight.
Sukuza 2012, more like. Binned it.
2012 season was really the best in F1
2012 best season ever
3:42 both are legend
Here after the insane 2021 season
watching this after his rstire, i want to cry
All of these races are so chaotic and Button seems to win every single one of them. he just seems to appear in 1st on the final lap lol.
Fernando Alonso not winning that championship after driving his heart out in the slow F2012 is one of the cruelest ever outcomes in Formula 1.
Well done Seb, to overcome that top after that rear collision and manage to overcome positions to be world champion in the last race.
I really miss the sound of these engines. The naturally aspirated era was the best. The sound was intoxicating the speed was on another level. They didn't cry about every little problem.
The best season I’ve watched ends with the best race I’ve ever seen. Will there ever be a year better than 2012?
These races were so much better. You can actually hear the excitement in Brundle's voice
Age is a factor tbh
4:40 awesome control
Best race I’ve seen in my life
“Sebastian Vettel, you are the triple world champion, the triple world champion, you are the man!”
Interlagos NEVER let us down.
As a brazilian fan, I can surely say it.
Best race of the century fight me
wow are all the old races so intense? Nico! haha I was emotionally invested in his race, even tho I know...
Alonso's glaring empty stare says it all!
am i the only one who was kinda proud that Michael Schumacher was there when Sebastian won his 3rd championship?
The 2012 season will be remembered as the best season in modern f1!
Unforgettable race, remarkable era & a great guy with character, who'll be missed a lot from today on!🥺
One of the best race's of the last decade
5:38 it's 3 am and I'm crying a lot 😭😭
This was one of the finest drive of sebs carrier, miss the old seb
I think 50-60% of that Seb is back
Una de las carreras más épicas y emocionantes de la historia, lástima que acabara con un saifty car!, gracias Alonso por estos grandes momentos!
Che gara, se penso che l'ho vista quando avevo 16 anni e vedere le gare di adesso mi viene da piangere anche a quanto il tempo passi velocemente , 2012 miglior annata di sempre
I remember supporting Alonso and Ferrari and screaming with joy at 0:36 and 1:20 as things went Alonso’s way, and a rollercoaster of emotions with moments like 1:45 and 4:40 but massive respect to Vettel fighting back to take the title.
Arguably the best F1 race of this century
3:53 Nani? Kansei dorifto!
This has been the 1st ever Grand Prix I watched back in the days.. What a great Flashback
Back in the day, when f1 was exciting.
i remember, i was there watching the race, and for me it was the best race and one of the bests time of my life.
5:38 i can feel the pain
"Still a McLaren 1, 2." These rewind videos are the only place you'll hear that for a few more years.
Go even further back and you'll hear "still a Williams 1-2"
5:40 when u tell a joke to ur friend and he goes and tells to to others and they laugh
Who came after Abu Dhabi 2021 too like me?)) Almost same finals, but di Resta crashed so late)))) I wanted to see fight between Alonso and Button))
The best race of all time
Ahhhh the memories. I remember the whole thing like it was yesterday. Surely I ranked it as a race in my top 10 list of best races in my nearly 10 years of watching F1. Obrigado Interlagos
Vettel 🇩🇪👌🤩
Please come back
love those old races on new highlights format
So F1 fans... Still gonna put this under Brasil 2019?
naw
Casual fans will...
I don't know
Yes.
Thats called ‘recensy bias’, people remember brazil 2019 better, because this was 7 years earlier, a lot of new fans never watched this race, but they did watch the 2018 and 2019 seasonsus voting those
This is and will always be my favorite race
True champ Fernando 💓
The best race, and end season season race for a long time ...
Glorious v8s we miss you
Just noticed my comment again , we still miss you v8s
The best race of century so far...
4:08 HEARTBRAKING...
По остроте интриги, калейдоскопу событий, непредсказуемости результата это был один из лучших гран-при на моей памяти.
5:40 when you find out Palmer was cutting the chicken
Ahhh , sound of those engines !! Love it .
These cars might've looked goofy but they sounded increable
I feel like the older f1 races are way much more intense than the ones that are goin on rn. Especially in 2021. 2022 max has some cheat codes, he’s winning almost every gp.
Where's Kimi's interesting racing line?
Exactly
4:37 magical move
