Crofty thought he's was so clever with that zinger
He was so proud of himself after asking it.
Average SkyF1 behavior. They’re all so triggered because their favourite Mercedes team are nowhere and their hero cannot finish a GP higher than P8.
Alonso's not the F1 villain he was a couple of years ago 😂
and he remains to be the blabber mouth douchebag he always is.
Hahaha I know riight!
British people love Alonso, confirmed
Very😂😂
The British really love Spanish balconies.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣@@MiGujack3
I like he gave a dead serious answer, and didn't try to "banter" at all with that silly ass shit.
That’s the kind of thing a troll would say on the comment section here…
The answer was the biggest middle finger I’ve seen ALO giving a British journalist.
He took that turd and turned it into a chocolate bar.
Lol
he does that with all the turd cars and now he does that with stupid questions, is there anything alonso cannot do!?
no @@yosht6110
You forgot asslonso was the one who disrespected Honda as “gp2” engine 😂😂😂. Now he’s wagging his tail for it 😂😂
You forgot Honda actually made a GP2 engine. After this debacle they put the guy who worked in f1 before and you can see the results. So yeah, Fernando called it as it was then.
Crofty was so proud of himself after asking that question. The Brit reporters have been antagonistic to him since ‘07. While they throw softball questions at their chosen driver.
just banter mate
@@jj_mccarron it’s not. He trying to stir ish up. Don’t kid yourself. He knows exactly what he’s doing And doesn’t do it with his preferred drivers.
@@seashackf1once you realise journalists from the same country as certain drivers have an inherent bias towards them, you begin to not care for any of it.
@@jj_mccarron not true and it doesn’t have to be that way. From the 90’s until they just took the SKy coverage we had two Brits for our coverage and there was little to no bias from them. David Hobbs (fmr driver) and Steve Matchett (fmr Benetton Mechanic). Their fairness is what has always made the obvious bias harder to watch. Once you realize there are people out there that can be fair (Brundle, Button, more and more Palmer), you have even less tolerance for those that aren’t (Crofty, Kravitz, Buxton, Barretto, etc).
@@seashackf1 simple, don't watch sky.
That was an evil question... The reporter clearly wanted to mock him.
That was Crofty, the one that covers the races on Sky. He is a dumbass and doesn't hide it.
What a class answer from Alonso though. Honda was happy with that, no doubt.
He is idiot. McLaren-Honda was a disaster from start. honda 1 customer. Can't test shit. Can't do anything in short period of time. And they did
don't you dare demonize the legendary crofty's simple bantaar that he blessed you with...
How Crofty and Buxton still have jobs just blows my mind!
The Brit reporters have been doing it to him since ‘07. Always trying to antagonize, while they fawn over their driver.
Honda's main problem with that McLaren was probably Ron Dennis.
He’d gone by then. It was on Zak’s watch?
…all Honda F1 successes with McLaren (many) came under Ron D.
Its not the honda, it was mclaren who were too stubborn for their car design
That's not what Alonso said at the time.
@@thegooner-49i think you rather critique the engine than the whole car/team
oh great blame it on McLaren. what did honda achieve in that era? how could mercedes succeed by having the same philosophy of imposing a similar small package? "but muh mercedes worked before honda on these hybrids" dude. honda had years and years to make that engine better and they still failed miserably.
Fernando trying to make it as less awkward as possible with Honda afterwards
Well, he is a grown-up and Crofty is....hmmm. It's a funny meme, but it doesn't have its place in a press conference IMO.
A foolish question, but Alonso was very professional with his answers.
For a while i thought Honda being slow was probably a Mclaren fault. Since then people only mocked Honda's engine... Well at least until 2021 because by then Red Bull decided to switch to Honda and then here we are with Verstappen basically becoming a meme for driving too fast.
It's actually from 2019, which is amazing because their 2017 engine is bad but managed to turn that around in only a year (2018 engine is so much better in power and reliability).
We're in Aero era and Newey is master of it. Honda just to make the engine reliable.
We're going back to engine era again where Honda struggled hard, that's why it might struggle again.
Alonso doesn't want to expose that (burned the bridge again) and give political correctness answer.
Typical sky sports journalism rubbish
Classic troll question. So many other people deserve to get their serious questions asked, but SKY make sure Crofty gets his airtime
Did anyone watch the little doco on maclaren and honda getting the car together? The Mclaren team were borderline racist, rude, impatient and terrible communicators. It had me wondering if it was Hondas fault in the first place, especially seeing the following year RedBull showed instant promise with them and had few reliability issues.
Can you tell me the name of the documentary please?
McLaren forced them to do size zero design. Well imagine you’re a student from overseas, barely adjusting yourself to the class and major. And you’re immediately asked to create a compact high explosive bomb.
While Newey adjusting his design first, before together going for smaller than size zero design. And giving everyone middle finger.
Still Honda fault .. they got time and huge budget and failed. Everyone always protecting Honda with all kinds of excuses, but if it’s ferrari or Renault then it’s there fault . The ignorance .. Ferrari and Renault atleast stay if it goes bad . Honda leaves cause het can’t have any criticism.
@@arapaimagold8088❄️❄️❄️
@@ThaDutchDK1989 so why did Honda start winning the second the car was built around the engine and not vice versa? You can not ignore this fact lmao.
"what assurance do you have they won't give you a gp2 engine?"
"they are winning the championships now"
I think alonso could have stopped there and make the reporter look really stupid
That GP2 engine started to win races as soon as Honda left McLaren and was not driven by Alonso...
He already looked stupid. At least he wasn't yelling, for a change.
The person asking the question thought there would be more laughter from the audience, but no one responded and it became awkward.
Alonso looked like he wanted to deck him.
Sport is about sportsmanship. Both on and off track. Troll questions like this belong in politics. He should become political journalist I think.
I hate crofty sometimes
I hate him all the time😊
high time for a new lead commentary team, crofty has been around for too long. get rid of him!
Typical questions from media, especially from british journalists. Sad.
That is a good journalist.
crofty already afraid of alonso will smash his chum lewisboy in a honda
@@hkpkppq Alonso can only smash Stroll. He is 43.
@@bestopinion9257 but crofty already panic about it
@@hkpkppq Panic is only in your mind.
David Croft is the reason I pay F1TV, that way I don't have to hear his annoying voice.
Paying for Sky is a brain-less thing to do anyway, putting up with his commentary is voluntary torture
The other chucklehead on the primary channel of F1TV in the US is even more annoying. To me anyway, I guess the Brits love this style. Paid by the word. I have suggested and offered to pay more for a "no announcers" choice but no response.
@@nobuddy4611 you can have no announcers (or at least you used to). I sometimes pick that option.
Alex is worse than Crofty has ever been.
Is there a way to watch it with no commentary, only the sound of cars? I would love that.
GP2 engine because Mclaren /Eric Boullier didn’t want to work and help develop with honda .. After even they used renault still bad . they are body/chassis was not good .. At the end they fired Boullier and changed the design
seriously, no problem in a marriage is any one party's fault. honda has to take the blame for 50% of the problem. no one is silly enough to believe it was mclaren's fault for honda's engine being so poor. honda was 2 years behind the rest of the engines when they came in too.
If the problem was the chassis then why didn't Alonso focus his vitriol toward Mclaren and not Honda. No question Alonso is one of the best behind the wheel and should have more titles than Schumi or Lewis. It's because of his off track behavior that he only has two championships and only has himself to blame for that.
@@sarlis525 when i say the problem is 50% mclaren's fault, i mean at that time, honda was blaming mclaren in putting restrictions on what they could do with the engine, in terms of the size of it blah blah blah. that's a total cop out. no team in the entire paddock allows and engine to be any larger than it absolutely needs to be. honda needed a scapegoat. there were problems with the chassis too. mclaren were pointing fingers at honda as well. it was neither of theirs fault was it? of course not, it was both of their faults.
Atleast with Renault engine it didn’t breakdown on just the parade lap ( Sochi ) 🤣😂🤦♂️ and even in indycar they break ( Alonso ) everyone always protecting Honda with excuses eventough they have the money and resources to do better than GP2 fireplace engine they had .. if a other manufacter like Renault or Ferrari would have had this problem then all the internet heroes come out of there cave to how bad they are . But with Honda they protect . Honda are the weakest company there is . They always leave if it goes bad . Renault and Ferrari had bad years but keep going. Honda can’t take any criticism and leave ..
Guess you're stuck in 2017@@ThaDutchDK1989
Aston martin right now: Alonso(2 wcd) CHECK. Honda engine (last 3 wc) CHECKERS. Stroll Junior DOBBLECHECKERS MOTHERFUCKERS! also a fucking great aero team. I am SOOO hopefull for Alonsos third title! and the fact that its not delusional makes me even more excited!
Pretty sure the problem back then was totally mclaren actually, honda went to redbull right away and were pretty good
Honda, discipline and honour.
But Japanese engineers will always go conservative at first and then refine until it's the best. It's a cultural norm, I fully expect a GP2 engine in 2026 and the best by the end of the regulations.
Not again...😢
You should see how Toyota compete in WEC. They’re going full throttle since the first entry.
Yeah Toyota went full throttle that’s why they broke down almost every Le Mans 😂🤣
Yes, Japanese tend to be conservative in many aspects, but not so much technology-wise. In the McLaren-Honda days, the engine concept was very ambitious from the start, with the 'size-zero' concept and all that. None of it obviously came into fruition and they followed a more conservative approach from 2018 onwards when they started giving power units to RedBull.
I'd bet that at the start of the new 2026 regulations all engines will be disastrous, especially when compared to the current ones. Either Mercedes, RedBull/Ford or Honda will manage to create an engine less awful than the others - I don't think Ferrari is capable of getting the engine 'right' from the start, and in no way I can imagine Renault doing a decent unit to begin with - and will become the next dominant force for a couple of years, whilst the others will play catch up.
As expected from a Sky commentator 😑
Is this British reporters in general or are they always trying to get him? This goes back to his days in Ferrari when Massa received team orders to let him win
I don't think this is the case of the british wanting to annoy him. More just Crofty being his usual self thinking he's so clever with his questions. He's a commentator and should stick with that job because it's clear he never asks any genuinely insightful questions in these press conferences. It's always the obvious questions, but usually worded in a silly way that Crofty probably thinks is hilarious because that's just how he is
Ah good 'ol bell-end Crofty....
Never forget this
Perfectly fair question. Alonso can have a big mouth a lot of the time so he deserved to be asked that.
I mean the difference was when they were working in partnership with MCL was that the engine was built for the car rather than how they've done it with Red Bull (and STR who were the initial test bench before RBR moved away from Renault in 2019) where the car was built around the engine.
British media
The good thing is we now know for sure that he will staying for some more years🎉🎉
They are demonstrating that they have their.... ( Shit together) Is what he wanted to say lol
Damn that GP2 engine must be it give Crofty PTSD now since AD21😂
He was good a long time ago in 2021. Especially back in the day in 2023
Crofty “Is Honda going to kick you out?”
Alonso “Not if I smack talk Mercedes.”
Give him a letter that says “you’re fired” instead!!!!
Honestly honda presented a very engine when it was a mclaren! Good for them that they improved their engine, but it wasnt alonso who take the decition of change the engine it was mclaren
Honda owes fernando. and the double spool older turbo design gives the honda better top end...
For those unaware, because people post on youtube assuming everyone else knows what they do, last time Alonsk raced a Honda powered car he was rather unimpressed and vocal about its power output being the equivalent of a GP2 engine.
I mean we'll see, when was the last time Aston Martin ran an F1 car with their own front and rear suspension, and gearbox?
Actually the 2026 engines will be similar to what is now in GP2. Of course it will be the same for everyone, so he won't have to make that frustrated call after someone passes him.
Reporter tosses insulting question. What`s that guy`s problem, got a beef with Alonso?
Wonder if Ford`s engine will deliver
What a shame, as always British reporters
It became known that the mcclaren performance was limited by the car itself and not the engine
Alonso chooses his words
I think Honda aught to give Alonso an ACTUAL GP2 engine as a way to bury the hatchet (so to speak)
Bet sky wouldn't be saying this cringe watch if bernie was still in charge
The british media, always a vanguard.
I think people are taking this way too seriously. The gp2 engine thing was obviously a joke and it wasn’t even a bad question. He basically just said “last time you worked with Honda it didn’t go well, why do you think this time will be different?”. Last time Alonso worked with Honda, he called the engine a gp2 engine and now he’s working with them again, why can’t someone ask about it? Alonso is one of my favorite drivers and I don’t see the problem with this question. I
i must be crazyt reading the comments bc it just sounded like banter to me
Alonso didn't take the bait
Oh look I'm British media. I think I'm cheeky. No actually takes me seriously though but I try to say smartass things as much as possible.
i wouldn't have asked that question out of respect to fernando and honda
now he hates him
Lmao...
Him= but you said this and that to Honda!
Alonso= That's the past. This is the present. And who am I to say they can't improve in the future?
I believe Honda have shown HIGH performance capabilities a few times. Assurances? There can be none in life. All you can do is try very hard and hope everything goes well. Look at F1 today - Red Bull (especially in Max's hands, of course - it's not just a simple car thing) dominate. By the end of THIS season, they can INCREASE their performance advantage even further or DROP to midfield performance levels (despite the fact that there is no obvious way how such a drastic change could take place). F1 is hugely unpredictable. And with component quantity limits getting tougher and tougher, basically anything can happen to any team or driver.
Now imagine this - Honda once again gives him a GP2 engine in 2026 💀
I don't know why Alonso appears in the video, the camera should be recording the journalist during the answer, clearly he wants to be the star of the show
Go go Alonso
“The engine is much better, slower than before.”
When you had bad divorce then suddenly your parents force you to marry her again feeling.
Gp2 engine was fault of McLaren not Honda, you cant design engine for existing car you need design car around the engine
Not to smart of a question
What’s the deal with GP2 engines? TiA
What's a gp2 engine?
Engines used in Formula 2.
What Alonso said about Honda at that time was very insulting to them,the whole world heard that and it nice to see him eating crow,McLaren had a big hand in that car with the design, look who is having the last laugh. Honda one of the best engine builders in the world.
ZEEPEETOO
Everyone here obviously doesn’t understand British jokes lol
Can anyone explain this to me?
Alonso used to drive for McLaren who partnered with Honda for engines, McLaren refused to adjust their chassis though and because of that the Honda engine performed sub-par. One race Alonso got frustrated and called it a GP2 engine, which are less powerful than F1 engines.
Now he drives for Aston Martin and they have announced they will partner with Honda for engines, they currently make engines for the Red Bull team.
The dude that asked the question has a bias against Alonso and asked it to create friction between him and the engineers, referencing his previous comments on Honda engines.
Got it. Thanks
Very few F1 ‘journalists’ are capable anything more than click bait bs
If some journalist asked hamilton a question like that everyone would be outraged...
why is everyone so furious at Crofty, its a proper question, I'm also sick of british biasnes but for me at least crofty in live stream keep it profesional. If there was Croatian driver on grid, and I'm comentator would I be bias, HELL YEA, but at least he is clean on keeping interesting stuff fun and have note of humor in him self. I'm paying F1 tv sub, and I allways choose crofty over that other guy with annyoing voice.
The issue is Alonso wasn't wrong before either.
only 2 years left before GP2 engine makes a comeback!
From mercedes...
In short: the blame for Alonso's disaster with Honda was... the horrible chassis made by McLaren.
yep Mclaren forced Honda to adapt their engine around the Mclaren chassis not the other way around like RedBull did.
Honda has a great power unit, but they are still doing well because Horner sandbagged the PU and fooled the rest of the grid into signing an engine freeze. We will see what happens when the freeze is lifted in 2026.
Nobody will fall for that trick again!
Yeah but doesnt Ferrari have the best engine? Still miles off because of aero
DTS snowflake delusional at it funiest well injoy watch/crying/F1 untill 2026 atleast and cry me river snowflake 😂❄️😭
❄️❄️❄️
The engine freeze would‘ve been introduced anyway my guy. Honda leaving F1 simply meant that the engine freeze came 1 year earlier. Every PU manufacturer wanted the freeze to focus on 2026. Stop waffling bs and stop telling lies.
out of respect to himself, to aston, and to honda.
fernando answered brilliantly
the interviewer a tool though
Learn from this kids - Diplomacy.
Why is crofty always a c*** with every driver except Lewis, why doesn't he ask Lewis why he's been getting bodied by everyone since 2021?
Took Alonso nearly one minute to say what he could have said in 5 seconds: "I hope they'll give me an engine similar in performance with what Max is having now".
Meanwhile in this regulations we not have engine developpement but more about the aero that way Red bull is the better car and not because of have monster engine meanwhile Ferrari is have the better engine even Mercedes engine is great similar to Honda and if then in 2026 Aston martin/Honda have great competitive engine if their Aero is not great it be meant nothing 🤔
Why do people think it’s clever to go “he shoulda woulda coulda said this instead”. Like who cares
@@BanditoBurrito You do, since you replied.
Once again I thank God that I don't have to suffer his fake-hype commentating thanks to F1 TV's Jake and Jolyon team...
That GP2 engine was a result of McLaren dictating to Honda, not the other way around!
Bs . It could even make a parade lap the pile of crap engine ( Sochi)
Honda was never a Gp2 engine. McLaren and BAR did their best to drag Honda's name in the dirt
Whatever GP2 engine is.
Kind of a pathetic question to make
Fun fact: after leaving McLaren Honda engines immediately started to win races. After McLaren received championship winning engine, continued to SUCK
hahaha it will be really funny if honda fail with the new regulations
2015 japanese gp
British sky sport typical nasty behavior on par with fia brit stewards
Gp2 engine, gp2…… ugHHHHHHHHHH
Lots of ah ah ah ah!
crofty -ugh
I mean, He did shit on Honda and was quite impatient with them during their early engines.. xD
Perfect video ruclips.net/video/sg1LQpYolX8/видео.html&ab_channel=BMPH
Honda remembers the GP2 Driver they had.
Inssulting and hiding the problem (it was with Management at McLaren all along) will be duly remembered.
Prior to McLaren getting the same PU as Red Bull they claimed and thought to have an equal if not better chassis.
Then McLaren received the same PU and found only then they were so wrong.
Alonso had a huge part in the lack of development of that car, siding with Management to keep his seat, pay and opportunities in other race divisions at the cost of Honda.
Good old hefty Crofty… they say an elephant never forgets!!..
alonso hate him 😅
Then gets a gp3 engine. Lol
That's actually hilarious. I remember a few years ago Alonso threw Honda under the bus every opportunity he got. Even when he had issues with his gearbox he blamed Honda.
