For Renault? Yes
They need someone with experience to develop the new regs cars.
For Alonso? Yes
Now he could drive in F1, and have a team that hopefully he can steer to the right direction.
For F1? Yes
Ain't we all want the greatest driver battling on track?
For Ocon? Maybe
It's a double edged sword for Ocon, if he match or even beat Fernando, I think Toto would pull him back to Mercedes. But again there's a chance for him to get whitewashed by Alonso.
I for one am glad Alonso's back. F1 needs a star like him. Let's hope he has the car so he can challenge Lewis. Am so bored with Hamilton dominating. Its killing the sport.
I'm mostly worried about the clashing of ego's within Renault... 😱
In the short term (2-3 years) it could be something good if he still as it bring some podiums and deveĺop the car for the next regulation.
But on the other hand remember when he leaves a team it was a mess (See the 2 stints in McLaren and Renault also).
And as a said before i think the main problem of Renault is Cyril is was too cocky for me (Too many expectations that coming from him) and doesn't make the right choices i was sad that they didn't keep Fred Vasseur cuz i think he was the right men for the job.
And juste keep that Renault wasn't sure to stay in F1 in 2024 so we just wait and see.
By the way i love the work that you put in keep it up 🙂.
Cheers from France
Fernando is more talented than vettel
Honda are famously known for not being assholes with their f1 engines, remember when they graciously reduced Prosts engine power so he could drive more safely behind Senna?
Ah some good, well written sarcasm. Nice change of pace haha
Where can i find article about this
Thank you for making this. There was so much outrage on Twitter when Renault announced they would give Alonso the seat, it was ridiculous. People should remember Jolyon Palmer was a GP2 champion and still drove poorly for Renault, so why should they prioritise younger drivers at all times? Also, a quick reminder that Michael Schumacher at 43 years old, put a slow Mercedes on pole at Monaco in 2012. It was a entertaining and memorable moment which will always be remembered.
Moreover, Mercedes wouldn't be in the position there in today if it wasn't for Schumacher and Brawn laying the groundwork.
You are by far the #1 F1 CZcamsr right now, no one can compete with your videos, every single little detail is researched, presented and explained extremely well. You back up every point with facts instead of biased opinion. No doubt in my mind you'll be the first to reach 1 million subscribers.
- Mickey
yeah I just dont get it. why people can't comprehend you can't give the seat to a driver who LITERALLY isn't qualified haha. and regardless, alonso makes the most sense with so many questions marks in F1. it's actually better for the juniors. win lose or draw nando has to carry them. and he wont be there for more than 2 years. Ferrari youth drivers are unbeatable. let renault academy develop.
glad you enjoy the videos! the research gets so painful and I have an inability to phone home an edit butI'm just glad if a handful notice the small stuff like that. it means a lot and more so that I can make something you actually enjoy
Yeah exactly twitter cannot seem to understand that u can't gamble an entire f1 team on 2 guys in f2 to get the super license points
@@CYMotorsport Ilott, Shwartzman, Schumacher, and Armstrong all look so good in F2 this year it's really good for Renault that Zhou and Lundgaard are challenging and beating them on occasion like the Styrian sprint race that Lundgaard won. Zhou and Lundgaard will both do really well with another year in F2. And the way this season's going with all the bad luck Zhou has had he might not get the superlicense points he needs.
Agreed, we already seen what kind of disastrous circumstances when teams gambled on 2 young drivers. Just look at Williams after Massa left the team, they're stomped to the ground, since no one can effectively develop the car. Junior driver it's great, but again you need experience and feedback from someone with experience. That's why all companies in the world doesn't replace their old staff with younger ones.
OversteerNetwork....I liked your comment, but as far as your reference to twitter...I have never been on twitter and never plan to be!...In fact I think twitter and social media in general is the cancer of this so called modern society and the world would be better off if it never existed!...I can write another page on this but I think you get the point!
Man, i dont even know what to say... your channel is so awesome. Every F1 fan should be here.
glad to have you!
Agree with that man
Totally agree. For me is better than lots of "specialists"
Agreed
Yep stumbled across this channel a week or two ago. Great content and analysis.
There is literally no other F1 channel with this level of quality. Loved it.
glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support as always old friend
Check out Chain Bear! has well thought out videos just like this channel!
Facts!
The editing quality of these videos are second to none in the F1 scene. Very well put together. Another channel I really like with great insight is Marc Priestley. He is extremely knowledgeable and puts out excellent content. He regularly answers fans questions. He knows all about the inner workings of the cars and all the behind the scenes things that us commoners arnt familiar with.
Spitting pure truth
His career in reverse is actually amazing
This... this just fucking shattered my mind haha
CrankyYankeeF1 SAME
Woah 🤔
I’m still trying to figure out how he’s gonna make Ocon crash at turn 17
Dont forget the he's an amazing spy too with great corporate espionage skills toi
Casual hahaha
So he made Piquet crash then!! He is really skilled, he has the ability to make someone crash wow!! Briatore is overrated though
I don't get it wasn't it the Renault team boss who told Nelson piquet jr to crash?
@@Zeiss120 you're comment doesn't make any sense
Solid video. Made me think about the Honda angle that I hadn't considered before. Great work!
I have quite literally never seen a company so petty haha but it's exactly what I would do. thee GP2 in suzuka was so far over the line even alonso felt bad thats how you know haha
@@CYMotorsport yeah, I mean when Max had the podium I don't think it was wise of them to jokes about Alonso. I thought Honda had a class, then that tweets happened. I'm sure they won't get to that point if it wasn't for valuable lesson gained from McLaren in 2015-2017.
Wait.. Honda is not that big hearted? Damn.
CrankyYankeeF1 that comment defined Honda. It brought them so much shame. Also so many memes.
Jeremy took a dig at then in grand tour while comparing nsx to lambo and rimac
Rory reed took a dig at them while comparing Honda Civic to other hatchback.
It was a Honda PR nightmare.
To be honest I think it was Honda fault for not being prepared enough. Even now. Redbull success with Honda was pretty much what redbull achieved with Renault the previous year. And now we see how far back Honda are in 2020 compared to mercedes who have made another step forward.
Maybe it was somewhat Mclaren fault too - given how well redbull made it work. But it’s not the same thing. Mclaren got to be the Lab rat to test Honda hybrid. Redbull got a 4 year research and development tech. Even they had luxury of testing in toro rosso first.
@@varunsambi2004 I kinda agree with that too I mean Mclaren had to take the shame too of losing so much grace in just a few years and when they thought that they were getting better in the 2nd year the 3rd one just kind of made them even more of a joke.
Dude you hyped me up for Nandos upcoming ventures. Hope he wins indy500
I know right haha that's what I was thinking. the car would be overweight due to how giant his balls were and his ego if he walks in with the triple crown. talk about momentum
Posting after the event, Alonso wasn't even a factor.
IF it goes wrong, with Cyril and Alonso the crash of Renault will be amazing to watch :D
EXACTLY. don't forget ocon haha either way, it should be fun
Damn maaaaaaan! U predicted the future 2years ago!!!
He just wants to drive fastest cars in history before they are gone forever 😆
haha I mean, you're not wrong
as a new fan of f1 I didn't get it, what do you mean by that?
@@lucasortiz8101 From 2022 the new regulations will make F1 cars slower, 2020 ones were the fastest ever in terms of lap times, 2021 regulations reduced down force so the current cars are a bit slower than 2021 while 2022 will be even slower
Very interesting choice from Renault. I am also very happy that he is coming back. Alonso’s experience will be very handy in 2021 and 22. But at the same time, I feel quite bad for the young drivers.
how i see it - if Zhou is meant to be, he'd need to prove it with a P4 anyway. in the best circumstance they couldn't wait. even in normal circumstances unless he was leading F2 and it's FAR too stacked IMO right now
@@CYMotorsport Zhou doesn't have enough on super license. Also, Zhou isn't exactly wowing everyone in F2.
Red Apple Wrong? Zhou would have been leading the F2 Championship if it wasn’t for a mechanical failure in the first race of the season? He dominated the Austrian race but he had to retire and gave the lead to illot
Red Apple So he is wowing everyone who has been watching F2. Unlike you
@@hfbloke706 well no
Alonso is actually my favourite driver of the "old guard" (2017 and older drivers who had a seat for over two years). His brash comments, his drive to want to be the best without having to kiss ass to get where he wants to be, the way he seemingly imposes his will on his cars to get them to perform for him even when they almost fight against it (GP2 engine, much slower than before, etc). I think he's going to come back to F1 next year, hopefully a Triple Crown King, and show the "new guard" (Russell, Norris, Leclerc, Latifi, Stroll, etc) that the old dogs still have bite, even the ones not driving Mercedes.
Just stumbled onto your channel and currently binge watching all your stuff. No one else comes close on the F1 scene.
Content quality, editing, everything is top notch. Keep up the amazing work!
enjoy Braxton! all just careful careful listening to your feedback!
@@CYMotorsport like I said, I'm fairly new to your channel... So forgive me if I missed it somehow, but do you have a patreon on similar platform where I can help support your work?
Also, how bout some T-shirts or other swag we can buy to help support you?
Finding F1 fans here in the states (I'm in Texas) is tough... Would be cool to support your channel and brag about F1 with some swag!
Alonso is my favorite driver post Senna-era. I'm watching F1 since 1993, though.
Alonzo definitely has a way of being at the right team at the WRONG time.
Beautifully crafted and extremely well thought out, as I've come to expect from you. I think you made your points very clearly. I am in agreement with you - I've even commented elsewhere (though it was very much more a stream of consciousness thing!) that I think that Alonso is after a bigger prize. Though I hadn't considered the triple crown thing at that time, I'm now wondering if that aim - which I believe is to have a very influential position in Renault, even so far as taking Abominable's position - is a way to gracefully walk away from the Indy 500.
As things stand he's not going to get a seat in a car which is likely to win it. Penske & Ganassi would have signed him up in a heartbeat for publicity's sake if they thought it worth the risk, despite Ganassi running a Honda. Andretti is his only other "friend" over there, but not while they're running a Honda. After the disaster with the Chevrolet, Alonso might be too wary to approach Penske, even though they're the best Chevrolet team. He is, according to Wiki, still contracted to the Arrow McLaren Chevrolet team. That could be interesting to see if he's still going to drive for them. I looked at the reports of the first two races on there, he wasn't driving in the first and there wasn't the data out for the next one, just a mention of who won and a few things that happened, including his supposed team mate crashing.
So it doesn't look like he's actually driving for that team as it stands. I thought he was supposed to be doing more than just the 500 this year? Maybe I heard wrong; I think that chat was pre-covid. He appears to be more interested in driving the new WEC hypercars. Can't say I blame him, they look great!
Anyway, as I said, I think he's got an aim and quite probably a plan. It's already been reported that he's calling the engineers at Renault and geeing them up, giving them "ideas" and essentially directing them. Doesn't sound like a typical "next-year's signing" action. Obviously I could be entirely wrong but it is well-known, and he has stated himself, that he has an emotional attachment to Renault. A more cynical person might say he knows where the bodies are buried and so has a bigger hold over them than any other team. I'm actually not saying that. I was thinking it when McLaren took him back after what he did to them before...
Hey ho, guess we'll just have to wait and see. My biggest non-surprise would be the parent company pulling out of F1 if they don't get some podiums at the very least next year.
These are VERY good videos man! You do proper deep dives, you argue well and you allow your viewers to learn a lot of now things. Keep up the good work. I'm amazed that you only have 70k subs.
People used to say why I only have 700 haha progress my friend! And listening to you all
Man The quality of videos and amount of subscribers don't match the effort you put into making videos is just top-notch.
I come to your channel to learn something new every time. I shamelessly reference your channel wherever I can to channel them to you.
19:13 Nice...
haha felt fitting
Amazing video man! Clears up a lot of questions I had. Keep up the good work and the subs will come mate!
2020: outcry because Zhou doesn’t get a seat
2021: outcry because Zhou gets a seat
Love your videos bro. The way you lay out the info it’s so satisfying to watch. Keep up the good work 💪🏻👌🏻
Me casually re watching all cymotorsports videos till summer break finishes!
It will be interesting to see how the driver dynamic is between Ocon and Alonso. Ocon is a very talented and quick young driver and as we know from history (2007) that normally doesn’t work out too well. Ocon is no Lewis Hamilton but he could definitely cause some problems for Alonso that could be a headache for Renault.
I agree. I think they'll all be too focused on their own narratives to interteam. but if they do, it'll get nasty bc both are savages
CrankyYankeeF1 I doubt this would happen but imagine if Ocon were to outperform Alonso. I don’t even know what Renault would do? But it’s highly unlikely.
Won't likely happen, Lewis is Lewis that is the exact reason Alonso was on edge. Lewis's talent was a wake up call to Alonso that he wasn't gonna be prioritized in McLaren. His 2021 season is guaranteed by Cyril. Cyril is trying to prove something and he's gonna use Alonso to squeeze every bit of performance from the car, even if the act of prioritizing him will get Ocon snubbed.
Aged like milk
SO chuffed to see this topic covered by you! Thank you! Your clips are so informative and give a heck of a lot of insight into a sport I love. Cheers for your awesome channel - I have only JUST found you in the past few days and am now binging on the rest of your work big time, haha.
See you in a few years when I have scurvy and am as informed as you are, hahahhaa!
I’ll be here until then :)
@@CYMotorsport hahahahhahahaha!
beautifully presented. bravo. subscribed
Thank you for this video! As always, very well documented ❣ I really appreciate that you show both sides and we can better understand why this decisions are made!
I admire the way you write, narrate, and edit your videos.
means a lot Edgar glad you enjoy them!
That gladiator reference towards the end was, simply put, brilliant!
Thank you for efforts and sharing such quality content :)
My pleasure!
your videos are fantastic. I love the well researched and thought out original content and the less hectic than average pace. Top notch. Thank you so much!
Fitting you add Maximus at the end when his character is also from Hispania (Spain) I cant wait for his return, will add that extra factor F1 needs nowadays.
Spaniard! If that quote doesn’t give you chills I don’t know what will:
“My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son. Husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.”
CrankyYankeeF1 Still one of my all time favorite movies, especially the part they call him Spaniard and rally behind him and of course the line you mention.
Alright, you sold me on this. I’m now an Alonso fan!
Incredible video. F1 is going to be quite interesting these upcoming seasons. I hope your still around breaking it down for us. Love the content.
bigger, better, stronger, more frequent, more active than ever my friend. they'll have to come to my home and pry my camera from my hands and delete my account before I quit. thanks for checking it out!
New subscriber. Awesome video. I can really see the effort and time u put into ur videos. Never change
The first joke in the video alread, had me cackling!
Happy this one won the poll, bit also exited for the Perez one!
oh this one i've been sitting on. I wanted to do more research on Honda. You know I don't post until I'm really comfortable with reporting. His indy stuff was highly sketchy. May warrant it's video here soon...
Awesome video! You sold me. Looking forward to next year!
Just found your channel but massively impressed with the quality of videos. Looking forward to this season just to see your analysis 👍
good feedback I'm always trying to learn what everyone wants to see !
super insightful video! as much as i wanted Zhou in that seat, Alonso just makes so much more sense and this solidifies my opinion
Im new to f1 and you were the first channel i found and so far you are my favourite
welcome yazan!
@@CYMotorsport thanks a lot
Love the climax at the end 🌟
had to rewatch the final minute. Man, that dramatic violin soundtrack and your voice really make it epic!
I credit the awesome music! Truly incredible music platform
Nice music at the end.
Imo honda has no right to tweet that the engine in that year when Alonso called it a "GP2 engine" was legit bad.
Even more top quality, in depth analysis. Great work as always!
Glad you enjoyed radspeed!
your channel, and your videos are something else man, this is MAD quality.
Another Great vid. Explained with none of the normal bias ,in this type of video.
Man, you do not disappoint, do you? Another excellent video. Thank you. I enjoyed watching it. Cheers and stay safe!
I disappoint plenty haha I’ll keep doing my best to keep you entertained though!
Beautiful presentation... If he makes a documentary about toothpicks It'll still deserve an award
credit where credit is due, this channel is so incredibly insightful and interesting, this channel has a level of quality in the videos that deserve more recognition, really well done on the content bro, and thank you for giving up your time to create it for our enjoyment
means a lot, andrew. I try not to make anything that won't atleast make you stop and think for a second , even if you disagree or think it's stupid haha. glad for the support. each video really honing the editing. I can't imagine in 3 months. so thankful for the ways you all support the channel without even realizing like these comments
Why am I crying at the ending of a f1 video...stop putting onions everywhere
Laugh, shout, or cry. Three things I try to make a viewer do in any story centered F1 piece :)
This is a great video that u makin as always.
As a french guy who see the prime Alonso am happy to see back and take is revenge at all the padock. (The Honda feud wasn't even thought in my mind but seems logic)
But the main problem in Renault in my opinion was Cyril Abiteboul i wanted so badly a guy like Fred Vasseur in Sauber now.
Anyway keep it up greetings from Paris 🙂
F1 radio chatter is so much better when Nando is in the grid.
So spicy haha
I'm not personally a huge Alonso fan, but you put forward a very strong argument and I think if you're right it would be great to see. Personally I'd love to see Alonso help develop and build the team and then take a back seat and help direct things. None of the young driver academy drivers are ready for formula one anyway, so there were only truly bad choices left like a return to Hulkenberg.
the younger drivers will step into a more developed car. that's all one could want! you're right
Awesome video! Would like to see a similar style video on Daniel. He says he left redbull to get more independence and to follow his own path but Renault have never delivered and moving to mclaren is a sideways move if not down in team budget wise. It seems he will just do laps till he retires and never achieve what he wants.
Trying to keep his stock high but problem is he bit off more than he can chew with Ocon and now lando
CrankyYankeeF1 he is mopping the floor with Ocon. And I think he’ll do the same to Lando. Ricciardo became well underrated in the last few years.
@@CYMotorsport what a dumb take lmao
Great use of music, loved the video. Fernando will put on show fosure
I think you are right about him being interested in the front office of Renault, but also he wants the limelight still. However, I don’t think he has enough tread on his old tyres to compete for another championship much less in Renault’s car. Lastly, I ain’t sure about him being that smooth a politician like Prost is. You could see Prost had a knack for it during his driving career by the way he handled his “relationship” with Senna. These are brilliant too. I have learned so much about F1’s history from you. Us both being American.
Brilliant script, mate. I got goosebumps at the ending, this IS gonna be fun to watch!
So glad to hear! Much more to come. Got some big ones coming out in the coming weeks should get interesting haha
Top notch,,,👌👌
Thanks Sir, much obliged
Like always , I feel you have the best story telling when it comes to F1.
the music at the end. QUA-LI-TY
It’s a banger I really like that song haha
Goddamn your videos are amazing!! And the narration is one of the best parts of it. "Like a phoenix that rises from the ashes...". What a spectacular way to wrap up this " video essay"!
Thanks Jalish! Finding my voice and blending it with the things you all want to see and be challenged on while I myself learn from you all is the best win win I can possible imagine so I’m thankful of the places we’re all going going together!
Fernando is easily one of the best to ever start on the grid he always out drives the car and I can't wait to see him return next year.
I’m genuinely so stoked. It’ll be make or break for sure. Ocon even more jaded now too haha
Amazing video, i'm not sure about the podium stat from f2. I thought de vries had about 12 podiums throughout the year? And he had double podiums at monza and sochi too
Man gotta say you have spark my interest in F1 for 2022. I don't expect much for next year. Maybe some good on-track battles, but probably it will be another 2013 season.But 2022... Vettel and Alonso fighting... Exciting!
Great video 👍
I am new to F1 and looks like I've entered at the right time.
Haha oh you sure did. If you look close enough, this is a wild time indeed
brillant stuff, keep on! ::: :
Great vid! Objective and balanced.
Way back ALO said he would retire after winning 3 championships. If he was indeed offered a seat in Aston Martin, his chances of winning his 3rd may be better there than in Renault.
Before watching your vid, I saw a another clip that made me conclude his ambitions may be bigger than being on top of the podium at the end of the season. Agree with you that it looks like he is now looking beyond that, and I mean even beyond Renault.
Speculation: Bernie and Flavio are behind his comeback and they are looking to see how to win F1 back from Liberty. ;)
By the way, regarding up and coming drivers. He is the only modern racer I know who trains young drivers through his karting school.
Congratulations on your growing sub base! Cheers!
When will that Scott Speed video be ready?
you'll know when I know haha
I love Fernando so much. I know it's so so so unlikely but I would LOVE if Renault had a Brawn style season, spending this year building an incredible car for the new regulations, and Fernando could win the 2021 season. It would make my life.
I think regarding the circumstances, he absolutely smashed it, big thumbs up for an epic comeback story.
1:45 gonna miss that for another year now ugh
Best American CZcams channel👍💪👊
Can not wait !!
Alonso is a legend. Like him or hate him, but just like Kimi with just one title, he comes with an aura and attraction of viewers that even Vettel or Hamilton could only dream of.
In regards to Riccardo leaving Renault. I wasn't there for Riccardo's negotiations with Renault but offering him such a ridiculous sum of money on an opening contract was very silly. It immediately put them in a weak position in future negotiations and gave Riccardo one hell of a leveraging factor in negotiations with other teams. Yeah, Riccardo is one of the best but when he displayed raw and aggressive driving style people love in him he was in a Red Bull that's design fit him like a glove.
I have absolutely nothing against with either Riccardo or Renault, just my analysis of what I consider to be a terrible business decision from Renault's position. Never, ever reveal your whole hand when doing business with someone. Ever.
Great analyses and look at Alonso's history. I think it will be exciting to see him back.
Guess who's not going to be chatting about the Red Car's weight distribution this time...
Haha haha so true
15:00 it looks like Totto Wolf on the back
Great study 🧐🤓😎
I wonder if you could make a video about the first concorde agreement and all the stuff related to it that happened in the early 80's
I’m considering the 1997 one bc it’s the only one ever leaked. You mean the 82 stuff? I plan to. Such a good story. But I won’t have the actual Concordes those are protected tighter than any document ever haha
@@CYMotorsport yes I was talking about 1982. Anyway I love watching your videos so whatever you do will be just fine👌
Again this is such a good channel - I love the content man - as much as it pains me - I have to go watch your "How to beat Lewis Hamilton" video. He's my guy but I know your analysis will be unbiased and well founded.
6:54 - the list of young drivers at Renault - the first and the last driver, have the same image!
Idk how I missed that haha good eye suyog!
Looking forward to see him back!
Interesting dynamics for sure
@@CYMotorsportAbsolutely, I just made a video about Alonso's career if you want to check it out? 👍
The ending gave me goosebumps
Good! Check out my nando title reign if you’re an Alonso fan
@@CYMotorsport lol I already have
You are a legend Cranky.
Do my best to live up to that haha
After your 2017 video, I thought you couldn't get any better. I am proud to say you proved me wrong.
Just wait until they let me use race footage haha mate I’m not even SCRATCHING the surface however I appreciate the support means a lot you’ve been there consistently I have a weird memory haha I don’t just blow through comments so it means something when I say I appreciate ya it’s not just copy paste
I am here to confirm this aged well
Bro didnt even comment this before 2023 🤯
Great analysis as usual! Alonso is a great driver and I am exited to see him on the grid. Too bad my fellow countrymen in Japan hate him for that GP2 comment. My friends who watch F1 treat me like some war criminal whenever I praise him....
That juicy Aston paycheck tho
Yes this is a pretty good channel, and especially considering it’s from a nation that is not really an F1 Team or Driver power.
A;onso is a great driver, but the personality gets in his way. Would be happy to see him race again and help develop a team.
I've had someone make the argument that endurance really changed him and how he sees the team as important. I buy that actually despite being critical of him in the past
I don’t have a dog in this fight, he’s always felt like a smarmy creepy dude ... a perfect F1 villain ... not a fan... BUT I love the shape & context this video gives to the overall landscape & how other teams are making out. Awesome.
Glad you can see the angle Buck! I suspended any bias for this too which made it easy to approach this way. Ironically, alonso fans will likely take issue with it... somehow haha
I still think abiteboul + ocon + alonso might be a bit (too) explosive to handle but on the flipside each part bears big innate potential and especially alonso can carry so much of the burden of the pressure and deliver, if the age doesnt restrict him too much. In Alonso's Case it isnt even innate Potencial rather than refined skill but he has to moderate his temper at times and do some work off track regarding behaviour as well, also he shouldnt force himself onto the team too much, regarding decisions. That said, his direct demeanor is refreshing and sometimes thrilling to see and is his character.
Agreed on ALL fronts
Such good videos
Glad you enjoy it James!
Another great video. My girlfriend has even started watching your videos and taking more interest in sunday afternoons.
this is very well researched and made, even if a bit opinionated
I would dare claiming that Alonso is still in his prime, even though that was hardly visible in F1 during his final years (especially Baku 2018 comes to mind). His performances at LeMans were impressive (especially 2018). At Daytona he drove a mighty race as well in the Rain. But his (poor) performance at Indy didn't have much to do with the Cheverolet Engine either. In fact the last two winners of the Indy 500 (Will Power and Simon Pagenaud) won on Cheverolet Engines. This had more to do with McLaren's bad preperation and their cooperation with Carlin. You still need technical experience with those Indy cars. That's why his cooperation with Arrows McLaren SP is a lot more promising than his previous attempt (he still has good relations to McLaren's Zak Brown in particular). The bigger issue for Alonso and Honda was Alonso's time in the WEC with Toyota (Honda's nemesis), even though they definitely wanted some payback on Alonso as well.
Apart from that interesting video. Some things I haven't put into concideration while others (most of them) were on my radar as well.
That’s a fair point. And I should know better consider the distinction in formula 1. I was more referring to his entire set up, chassis included. Alonso is a very particular driver who likes the car set up in a very specific way with the car built around him. The chassis pose integration I’m sure he would have preferred his McLaren Honda set up. I’ve read some really solid reporting on his mishaps around the strategy and sheer execution hiccups as a team that he faced. Was doomed from the start.
Chevrolet had just as many consecutive manufacturer titles as merc does constructors currently so I worded that poorly. Good catch
@@CYMotorsport fair enough.
I would cry tears of joy if he won another championship.
It would be fascinating to see no matter who you root for
