      "Alonso’s 2012 was his greatest ever, no mistakes in a vastly inferior car to the red bull" If that Red Bull was so superior how come McLaren won as many races (7) and had as many poles (8) ? If the Red Bull was so superior how did 6 different constructors win races and 8 different drivers? Fact is Sauber nearly won in Malaysia with Perez and Force India nearly won with Hulkenberg in Brazil. This tells you that no car was really dominant and that they all stole points from each other.
      This is where reliability starts to play an important part. This is also why Ferrari finished 2nd in the point standings merely 60 points behind Red Bull and ahead of McLaren in 3rd.
      Did I tell you Mark Webber finished the 2012 championship in 6th? Sure that was a "dominant Red Bull" ? Massa finished 7th behind him.
      Hamilton and Bottas have finished 1-2 in both 2019 and 2020. They had a dominant Mercedes. Vettel and Webber most definitely did *not* have a dominant Red Bull in 2012. Webber would have finished 6th otherwise.
      Oh, and who was that finishing 3rd in the championship? Kimi Raikkonen in the Lotus. Well, that must mean he was a better driver than Hamilton since he finished ahead of him in the championship. Or maybe *reliability* worked better for Kimi than it did for Hamilton. Once you realize that things become a bit more clearer what reliability means. You see failing to finish spells zero points.
      When you know that Vettel commandingly led the Europan GP for the 33 first laps and retired with an alternator failure and Alonso inhered 25 points with Kimi's Lotus finishing 2nd and old man Schumacher finishing 3rd after Maldonado took Hamilton out with 2 laps to go. Grosjean was chasing down Alonso on the 40th laps in 2nd place when *his* alternator ended that threat.
      Vettel finishing (he would have won) this race alone makes him an easy 2012 champion and you wouldn't be talking today about how amazing Alonso's drive was in the "inferior Ferrari" - which somehow still finished 2nd and ahead of McLaren while Webber somehow ended up 6th with Massa 7th.
      Anybody will agree that 2012 was of the most evenly matched fields in F1 history - save for maybe 1982. In which Keke Rosberg *won* the title with a NA car lacking some 100-150hp on the turbo cars from Ferrari, Renault and Brabham and the rather revolutionary all carbon fiber monocoque McLaren MP4 driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson.
      " in a vastly inferior car to the red bull." The 2020 Ferrari was vastly inferior. The 2012 most certainly not. Webber finished 6th in 2012 and Massa 7th. That is all you need to know. Kimi finished ahead of Hamilton who was in a "vastly superior" McLaren.
      You don't mention reliability once. Not *once* .

In the other hand the Ferrari was a very reability car, but it was slow af, in melbourne this car was 1,6 seconds off the fastest car(Mclaren), the only way Alonso could make a pole, was in the rain, and it was like that, Silverstone and Hockenheim proves it. Sebastian drove great, but not at the same level of Alonso, that's all.

    Alonso is a top 5 all time talent. He’s been in the title fight in at least 5 years and only had the best car in 2007 when the infighting at McLaren cost him (and Hamilton) the WDC. Less than 10 total points separate Alonso from being a 5x WDC: 2007, 2010 and 2012 were so close.

    In 2005, Alonso and Renault were more consistent than Raikkonen and McLaren. The Renault had better reliability compared to the McLaren which may have cost Kimi in the end, but “To finish first, first you have to finish”. Then in 2006, Alonso’s early season success gave him a cushion going into the second half when the TMD was outlawed. Schumacher was very unfortunate to get that engine blowout in Suzuka, but having said that, Fernando also retired for similar reasons in Monza where MSC won the race (and announced his retirement). Alonso fully deserved those back-to-back titles regardless of what others may claim.

      Seriously, Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel are both overrated. They frankly had some amazing cars like 2008 Ferrari ( Raikkonen ), 2009 Red Bull ( Vettel ), 2012 Lotus ( Raikkonen ), 2017-2018 Ferrari ( Raikkonen-Vettel ) that they massively underperformed in. Put Alonso to those cars ( 2008 Ferrari, 2009 Red Bull, 2012 Lotus, 2017-2018 Ferrari ) and he would have won the title in most of those years.

I watched 2010 to 2014 very carefully that every time Fernando with slow ferrai engage with rocket bulls always tension is huge in red bull garage... They're known if Ferrari just put 3 thenth off the pace of red Bull then game over for red bull... Alonso was that good extract about a second from that shitbox...

I've met people who think Alonso just cruised to victory in '05 because Ferrari wasn't in the fight, but it's quite clear that the guy has never won anything without earning it in spectacular fashion. That's why he's one of my top 3 favorite drivers.

    If he hadn't been in McLaren (without the mail scandal, because McLaren discriminated him), he could be in Red-Bull which had Renault engines... He could be even in Mercedes after that to form the greatest Champion that ever was in F1!
    Even so he needed only 8 points to have 6 championships instead of 2.
    From shear talent pov he is the best driver and the most complete driver since Ayrton Senna!
    Maybe he isn't always the fastest in qualifying, but he is the greatest racer that ever was in F1!
    He is a greatest warrior ever in F1 and he is the strongest also in his mental strength!
