The fact that he even thought of defending with a Honda powered Mclaren is mind blowing
That's racing.. F1 has become a lot less fun since drivers are just waving mercs and redbulls by because "they are too quick"
Mexico the engine power is less important. That’s why red bull always do well there
Not really
@@feralfly9971 how so?
@@Heinvanast it's not because "they are too quick", it's because they're fighting for points in their own race, im so sick of casuals mouthing off like they know what they're talking about, fernando fought lewis in the McLaren and alpine because he had nothing to lose in those races, if sainz fought lewis at hungary, it would have made it much easier for nando to catch him in the closing laps
I love how both Lewis and Alonso slowed down for the DRS in Canada
Lol Loved that too. It's funny that these guys think of that stuff, at those speeds. And it's funny how fast Alonso reacted to it 😆
yeah i saw that too, i though its graphic glitch. But what do you mean by slowing down for DRS?
@@johnlau8461 if you are the car behind in the drs detection zone, then you get the drs. Lewis and Fernando both slowed down for the other to get ahead of them, but soon changed their minds in that split moment
It wasn't because a yellow flag?
@@johnlau8461 basically hamilton slowed down to let alonso cross the DRS detection line first so HAM will get the DRS down the straight, but alonso wasn't having any of it
Alonso in Hungary 2021 was an absolute masterclass of defensive driving. One of the best displays you'll ever see.
Man that was a beauty he made my day tht day I was disappointed tht verstappen got damage nd he couldn't compete in the race
Hungary was the very, very best I have ever seen. Fernando is my hero.
@@Formula_myan as long as he is ok, as many dnfs as possible
@@vb917 you mean defending on the slimmest track on the calendar ?? Lol I think you’re insulting Alonso by saying that’s his best drive ever. Where was this defence when Lewis blew past him in one lap in Brazil ?? Lol silly
@@deezelkane If you understand Mercedes was 3 seconds faster/lap than Alpine...........
4:45 Love this - Hamilton lifts off to try and let Alonso edge ahead before the DRS line. Alonso spots it immediately and also backs off to make sure he gets the DRS instead. These two never miss a trick.
Two absolute masters of their craft, Hamilton's skill vs Alonso's cunning
@@allthekingshorses7178 Two the best in F1 history!
The fact that they touched wheels, ever so slightly, in 2 of these encounters shows their unparalleled precision 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@arzaluzx I really really hope Alpine gives Alonso and Ocon a best of a car this season!
Well spotted!
@Keith Campbell He didn’t lift, it was a lag
I wish Alonso had more years in competitive machinery so that we could see these two have more epic battles.
There not epic every time they battled Lewis got damage from it
Too toxic.
I would LOVE that!
@@Wozzabunnyofficial_37 that's normal, he can't drive properly...
@WhatInTheF1 sure, but Hamilton was like that when he started F1 and he didn't have problems
One thing you can't deny, Alonso is always defending like it's for P1
Last sunday it was about P1 as well
Alonso just has
*T R A N S C E N D E D*
@Marcus Summers Bruh, Hamilton was racing him everytime he had duels with Fernando in this video. He did nothing illegal. He is fully allowed to be the minister of defense.
I can smell that you are a Hamilton fan.
@Marcus Summers You’re just salty Alonso cost Hamilton the win with his master defence. I doubt you’ve watched F1 for a long time because if you had you’d know every driver which has something to lose if they get overtaken (in Alonso’s case Alpine’s first win) will defend, it’s not a motorway, it’s an f1 race, if someone is faster, you do everything possible to keep them behind. Simple as that 🙂. Hope this helps you understand!
@Marcus Summers you better move to another sport, it seems that you do not understand what racing is like.
@Marcus Summers This is racing man, so if slower car need to back off then what for we need to race, just give them the championship man
Alonso held Hamilton long enough for Ocon to secure his and Alpine first F1 win. Beautiful race and excellent teamwork
@Marcus Summers What do you expect? obviously both Alpines are slower than the Mercs so Alonso did what he could.. brilliantly
@Marcus Summers Well if Alonso didn't defend him, Hamilton would win
I definitely would not call BEAUTIFUL the bowling strike at start with the BOT suddenly forgetting that he should break for the first corner in the first lap on a wet track, while both Redbulls and Lando align in a straight line in front of him...........but those Alonso defensive moves and the pathetic whining of the S.H.E.E.P. was worth it indeed so fair enough! xD
@@Veselinius_III Chill bro xD I was talking about the race between Alonso and Ham that helped Ocon secured his first win, not the whole race
Alonso blocked Hamilton until he made a mistake.The inferior driver lost out
That 2007 McLaren line-up of Hamilton and Alonso was crazy. In terms of sheer driver quality, it was the best F1 driver line-up since Prost and Senna. The car was absolutely gorgeous, as well.
Both slowing down before the DRS detection zone was 4D chess.
Before reading the comments here, I didn't even know that there was a zone for DRS - now I'm even more impressed with the driving!
@@ScottOrd Yep! There's a detection line, where they detect who's where and what the gaps are, and then an activation line, where drivers can push the button to activate DRS.
where in the video?
Check @ 4:45
That’s amazing man…so many things to watch for in f1…them guys are racing wheel to wheel and still know where the drs line is…it’s unreal..

Yup, exactly. Ham and Alo race each other very fairly but super hard at the same time. Unfortunately, Max likes to push the other driver if he is on the inside. Instead of getting a long drawn out multiple corner racing, we end up getting Ham pushed to another zip code. Come on Max, think about us fans bro
@@maazahmed2336 Really starting to get tired of Max's "Wheel to wheel" racing skill that the F1 Commentators keep speaking of... It's not craftmanship it's just barrelling in and hoping the other driver avoids a crash

They both have amazing racecraft and have raced hard and fair
Alonso is just a phenomenon, He is 40 years old, and the enthusiasm is greater than that of many young people))
Alonso and Hamilton deserve the upmost respect!
One maybe more than the other.
Alonso and Webber, when they were close on track, had the best duels. This is brilliant, but I *like* Alonso vs Webber.
They both do, but this community is really toxic unfortunately
@@speedy5152 Nah
But here comes sebestian vettle!
Give Alonso a competitive car and he’ll be fighting for the championship…
As long as development and team management isn't a factor, then definitely, Alonso has been one of the best ever.
He’s had one in the past and either won it with Renault or he didn’t get the job done (2007, 2010 and 2012)
@@tombardsley3081 Hamilton had the same or better cars and he didn't won either... Maybe we had to point the dominance of RB and Mercedes, not the talent.
@@mindujiman cos a team and driver did a better job in those seasons. Hamilton took himself out of the 2010 championship with the incidents he had in Italy and Singapore. 2011, Hamilton had a bad year whilst Vettel and Red bull were pretty much perfect (which red bull/Vettel don’t get enough credit for given how much praise Mercedes/Hamilton got for 2020) . 2012 was where McLaren dropped the ball and sealed Hamilton’s decision to move to Mercedes. F1 has always been about the best driver car combination
Yeah.he will be fighting for the championship.but not from first or second place😂
The way Alonso slows down on the apex at 07:40 with Lewis behind him is so well timed!! So impressive
Alonso in the McLaren and Alpine holding Lewis back in a Mercedes shows us who the better driver is between them. One was always a car champion and the other one takes so much more out the cars that he has in the years.
Not a Hamilton fan, but in 2007 Hamilton 6 poles vs Alonso's 2 poles. Sure the team might have favored Lewis but he was still a rookie. In qualifying pace, Hamilton is incredibly quick, maybe the fastest in history (if you perhaps exclude Senna or maybe Schumacher). Alonso is the better racer, he is a masterful tactician, you saw that in Qatar 2021 and many times in 2023.
1:28 I love how Alonso asked his engineer if what Lewis did was fair instead of falsely shouting that it was illegal so the stewards penalise him. And people call him toxic.
8:09 Hamilton, not so much
he was fishing for a penalty. i dont blame him
He is toxic, but more in his off track behaviour. Great driver though.
@@hamza-chaudhry He moved over to Ham in a straight line. You cant blame Ham. He tried that same move 2 times before and he kept backing out each time to avoid contact. But the third time, Alonso did move and banged wheels with him that too in such a flowy corner where there isn't much breaking involved. If you didn't know what a small touch of wheels can do then go look over to Webber and Vettel in Turkey or even Vettel and Leclerc in Brazil. Both are examples of why you shouldn't move in a straight line when a car is alongside. Understandibly, like he always does, Ham moaned lol. Even Alonso would do the same if he was fighting for a championship. And no, Ham wasn't trying to get alonso a penalty. He just wanted alonso to be warned by a black and white flag
@@maazahmed2336 While everything you said is true. its also true that you are allowed to squeeze a driver as much as you want as long as you leave them a cars with on track. SO alonso can move over on hamilton to compromise his line as long as there enough room outside ham, which there was.
4:45 Lewis wanted to trick alonso so he get the DRS for the next straight but alonso said no thank you, brilliant awareness from alonso
He's not tricking him.
He is doing what's best for himself.
@@kundakaps And that includes trying to trick your opponent into a small mistake.
That's very brilliant for both of them
@Combat Mania yes. Look how Hamilton brakes just in front of DRS detection line to get DRS and Alonso in a instant reaction did the same to mantain DRS for next straight. Its awesome how fast he saw the trick and reacts to defend himself. This is why he is a legend.
Hamilton is such a baby!
Fernando really deserves a competitive car, what a great driver he is.
The mind games in Canada made me have chills down my spine, due to both of them being such amazing smart drivers.
The day Lewis, Kimi, Alonso, and Vettel retire will be a sad day.
Lewis, Kimi, Alonso, sure! Vettel jumped the shark years ago with his blunders, crashes, deliberate driving into others in rage, swearing at charlie.
@@tonyhawk123 they all have there moments. But his point still stands and it is absolutely true. Perhaps that is also a factor they are still in the sport, combine a talented old but gold driver who is a former world champion and the sponsors will be standing in line for the team. The amount of money they can bring in, combined with the popularity with the fans and a still incredible race pace in every car you put them in. They probably wont be going away anytime soon, at least i hope so.
@@tonyhawk123 He had two really bad years. No doubt.
And its alright when the rules are calling it "deliberate driving into others (in rage)" and he gets penalized accordingly (edit: for clarification it HAS to be that way) but its quite a bit of a joke when fans say that in a serious manner.
Something like this has no place on the race track, but you make it sound he has deliberatly crashed someone with 250kph and not bumping a tire while under SC speed. And swearing? Kimi and Fernando... aight?
@@BadDayLp youre the one suggesting high speed crash, not me.
Kimi??? Hasnt had an added value for years.
F1 won’t be the same without these two

@@muhammedsamil2891 so true. It's ince seeing new drivers but unless someone is a new fan, the day Lewis, seb, Kimi and Alonso aren't in the sport will be a sad day. They have been icons and faces of the sport for so long and have shown that even with age, they are incredibly capable

We got some new footage with the 2023 bahrain GP !
I think It's time to update this video with Bahrain 2023.
Alonso is the most underachieving driver all due to his team choices. I wish he can have one more competitive car and win a third championship.
The thing about career choices is that they're always made in hindsight. The logical thing to do back then was to join Ferrari. Who could've predicted that Brawn would win in their first ever season?
@@youraveragepasser-by7367 It certainly wasn’t logical to join McLaren, who were on a downward trend. Although Ferrari weren’t doing better, with McLaren leaving Mercedes power it was more obvious to stay w Ferrari, who became competitive in 2017/18. But Alonso was already frustrated of 5 seasons without a truly fast car that could win a championship.
@@daniel6323 and he couldn't even be mad at McLaren for doing so bad since it was mostly down to the Honda engines braking down and under performing badly. We saw what Alonso can do in a car thats slower then a Mercedes last week (granted overtaking isn't easy in Hungary) but with that car holding Lewis off for as long as he did. I hope we get to see more of his Wide car defending, and hopefully some pole positions as well.
his timing was always off...leaving mcleran the first time, leaving ferrari ... ferrari's own people said that if it had been him in that car instead of seb, he would have won at least 2 more championships! and lewis hamilton himself says that alonso is the best driver he has ever raced against. i think most people who understand racing would concur.
It's the teams that failed him not him making poor choices. He can't predict the future you know.
7:38 is a perfect example (you can see Hamilton do the same to Alonso in the example shown at Canada at the final hairpin) of race craft. Parking it on the apex and pausing for a second before accelerating. This forces the car behind to get off throttle so they don't run into the car ahead, ruining their momentum.
Lots of shrewd tactics (your example is probably the best) and amazingly clean racing ...
Those 2 have amazing race craft. Lewis uses that tactic in 2013 Germany as well, through the 1st sector
"Thats not sporstmanlike, what a cheater he is"
@@Danlorde racing is for men...not for cry babie.

@@maverickm497 I didnt want to talk about his racecraft just about the hability to "close doors". After Silverstone 2010 and Abu Dhabi 2010 Mark accepted that RedBull wanted a number two not a number one and i think this affected his performance forever.

This shows why imo Alonso is one of the all time greatest, even without the high number of championships. His skills and ability is unrivaled. Even MSC himself struggles more after his comeback. And Fernando has always been able to outdrive a car. Sooo great that newer fans also get to see his talent live!

It’s easy to pick one moment that contradicts my statement and I know I’m probably factually wrong, but based on an average that spans decades, I think we can all agree Fernando is able to far outperform his cars, and that’s (almost) unrivaled.

One of my biggest regret is we never had as many battles between these two as we should have.
Which made their 2007 battle and that last one in Hungary even more special.
It’s sad that the f1 Community won’t appreciate these drivers until their gone. Regardless of if you like them or not you can’t deny talent when you see it.

4:45 Just genious how they braked both before the DRS line to get DRS on the straight
4:44 Hamilton brakes to get DRS out of Alonso. Alonso reads his mind and brakes too. Excellent racing.
It’s like Nando knows Hamilton’s lines when defending
Can we just appreciate these two without the endless “who’s better than who” we see every week
The last few weeks the f1 community has become the most toxic I’ve ever seen in over 16 years of watching the sport, it’s becoming ridiculous.
It's easy to hate someone really, I'm getting tired of it. I just stay away from any comment section whenever I can....
😂Many haters of Hamilton know nothing about F1 race, no rules nothing . Really dumbheads
F1 has So much toxic fans sadly :/
F1 fans are brick walls really, you cant convince them that hating on someone is being toxic
It’s just all the new and young fans that have started following f1since liberty took over. They are still very opinionated, give them some time to get a few seasons under their belt and the toxicity will ease. It’s a negative effect of how much more mainstream f1 has become.
F1 Liberty have been reading the fans comments since their Hungary duel, and blessed us with this video of these 2 legends. Let's hope Alpine give Fernando a better car for the 22 regs

LAP 1 SPA 2022 MISSING
The 2007 McLaren(the MP4-22) is the most beautiful F1 car ever imo. I absolutely looooved how futuristic and space age science fiction the cars looked during the 2007 season. They were like spaceships. It's how an F1 car should look. Aesthetics, style & design wise they were and still are the best looking F1 cars ever imo, Especially the chrome and red McLaren. It's so much more beautiful compared to today's much uglier cars. And even though the 2007 car such as that McLaren are way, waaaaay slower than today's cars they still just look super fast because of said aesthetics, style and design, they look mean, agile, so badass, purposeful and aggressive.. I love that vibe, you don't get that from the current cars imo. Maybe only the all black Mercedes of last season has recaptured that feeling to a lesser extent.
They look agile because they aren't as heavy as the current cars, and had much better tyres back then.
For me, 1988 McLaren is the best looking F1 car ever… Those Thicc rear tires, simple lines and ooh… That Honda V6 turbocharged, something I will never forget
Honda? It was Mercedes

@@dinho5174 no, he was, for sure. He did not take all the risks (ex : attack in T4), but in general, he was giving everything in T1-T3 and wanted to take as much points as possible
worse car vs best car
Hamilton's car was damaged in Mexico. He got hit by Vettel and also picked up floor damage going off track avoiding the other cars on lap 1. That's the reason he ended up fighting back from last in the first place.
Imagine what would’ve happened if Alonso actually accepted Honda’s offer that became Brawn and after that Mercedes …
10x world champion. Easily.
Alonso is the best driver in dogfights of the current grid. Pure talent guys... Vamos Nando!!! 🇪🇸
Ok. You not say anything wrong here.
7:37 alonso brakes a bit while going through the apex so that Hamilton has to back off and he can’t get past. Brilliant!
he eases on the gas.. he's not braking! that's 100% needed in order to get some space and have the edge for the next corner. mercs are waaay faster if you start from pretty much the same speed up to the next corner!

The fuel is a yoke
WHERE IS FUEL?
@@gianpaulcv6425 Fernando, fuel has retired
@@beanlentil karma.
Maybe Vettel should have worried about fuel too. He didn't and got DQ'd. One of the differences between Alonso and Vettel.
Now Imagine if Alonso had better cars during his career
He nearly won the championship in 2012 and 2010 but Vettel was too strong
Oh here we go again, unfortunately your off-track actions also impact your on-track options.
2007 ?
@@Xiphactinus ????
Beaten by a rookie in 2007. Always second to Hamilton.
I imagine Alonso on Hungary 2021 seeing Hamilton on his back and sayin': "Nice to see you again mate, let me show what I got yet"
Wow am I the only one who got goosebumps from watching this wow legendary racing legendary drivers 🔥
2 great champions we are blessed to watch these 2 warriors
Yes
Hamilton beat alonso in rookie year in same car hamilton clearly better
@@nsitv7376 Hamilton was favoured by the team because he's British
lool watch 2007 again and keep crying
@@apinakissa1516 so Coulthard was favoured against Hakkinen with that argument?
Narrator: "Has he got enough laps to do it"
Alonso: "No Hamilton, you won't get the laps!"
Underrated comment 😂
But Hamilton did get Sainz.
The two best drivers of the modern era, both ultra competitive. Lot's of negative comments about both, I'm an Alonso fan but absolutely admire Hamiltons driving ability. Unless you know them personally I wouldn't base an opinion on them via the media.
Sorry guy but Alonso is other league, other level. Alonso is much better than Hammilton.
So underrated. One of the all time greats!
👶 Alonso - Still great
🧒 Alonso - Still great
🧔 Alonso - Still great
Overall nothing changed except for the number which is his age
Hamilton: 7-time champ fighting for 8th title.
Alonso: Backmarker
Well you can also say the same for Lewis , he is 36 and still battling with a young star
@@saturokelz hamilton finished ahead of alonso in the standings in his rookie year in the same car. Hamilton is clearly on another level to alonso
Legend
@@saturokelz 7wc, 99wins, 101 poles the GOAT keep crying 😂😂😂😂
Bonus battle: the entire 2007 season
Hamilton + Alonso vs Ron Dennis's temper
I don't think there was an overtake between the 2 for the whole season
@@samfitzpatrick7891 but there was plenty of fighting
@@samfitzpatrick7891 Alonso passed Hamilton in Eau Rouge in the first lap
F1's popcorn year.
THIS is racing. Awesome collection of 2 brilliant and respectful drivers. We need more of this!!!
Hahaha ham respectfull?! No way
There is one constant that you can rely on and that’s Hamilton crying..
lulu
The way Alonso defended against Hamilton in Hungary gave me goosebumps
As if Hamilton hasn’t done same thing to him in Germany
@@migracing8232 what's your point?
A lot of it was Hamilton not wanting to wreck the car being risky. It’s a thin track so he was patient. although it was great, I can think of better duels that gave me goosebumps.
@@bear1245 I think that if Hamilton overtook Alonso 4/5 laps before he would have won the race
@@lisyetta97 of course but better to finish with points than risk a few more with a negligent ot
So glad to see these two battle it out. Even more impressive is that I've not yet seen the fan boys leaving silly comments. Regardless of who we support, let's recognise greatness when we see it.
Two legends who'll remember these battles (particularly Hungary 2021) years after they've eventually retired. Hungary 2021 reminded me so much of the Gilles Villeneuve - Rene Arnoux battle in Dijon, 1979.
Alonso, one of the greatest of all times.
F1 milking it and i love to see it
Content
Current f1 is amazing in giving the fans all the content they want. Understanding the power of social media and CZcams/Netflix. Combine that with plans of going more green, spending less money overall and changing up the tracks, with this year alone multiple tracks that hasn't seen f1 in a while.
Makes for great viewing pleasure off and on track for the fans.
And i am loving it.
I only started following f1 from 2019 but Alonso is definitely one of the greatest in my book
watch 2005 season and 2006 season.
Also watch the 2010 to 2013 seasons too.
@@q_rkmghow7083 I've read about it.
@ where can I watch it?
@@fawazkhan7259 Well I know some sites which have all the races from 1980s to today but:
1- They are in my language(Turkish)
2- It's not nice to share them here.
So Google is your friend. There are many sites which I watch time to time when I want a english commentetor.
Loving the positivity and wholesomeness of the comments here. Respect for 2 exceptional, legendary drivers. This is fantastic stuff.
Alonso really put up a fight in Hungary. Yeah I know Hamilton passed through but what a duel that was.
Undoubtedly the best 2 drivers of their generation and arguable both in the top 5 of all time
Max fans finding out Alonso and Hamilton were teamates! 👀🤔
Despite being a big Alonso fan, that 2007 Indianapolis fight is the prove of how talented Hamilton is.
Rookie driver, defending against the 2 time defending world champion at the time, Alonso at the top of his game just pure master class.
How fortunate we are to see this kinda battles.
Hamilton not only had the support of the team, but he was the preferred one, from team and Ron Dennis.
Has nothing to do with that here. Fernando couldn't pass lewis here period. Fernando had preferential treatment in qualifyings and the races for the first 6 Gps by getting lighter fuel load thank lewis. Canada Was the first race they both had equal fuel loads and lewis put it on pole and won the race emphatically. Let's stop the lies. These are the best in the sport in the last 20 years hands down, so let's not lower the debate to minions levels.
@@q_rkmghow7083 ron wasnt driving either car
@@truth4reel dude these cars has lots and lots of adjustments not only fuel. Drivers can only give feedback about the car then engineers will adjust the wings and stuff. So If a team decide to slow down a driver they can do it sooo easily. I'm not saying they did this to Alonso but it's doable.
@@TheTororist He was controlling both, through the team though.
Wow the racing with Alonso & Hamilton
I want these two battling for the title in 2022 and 2023! Best drivers on the grid!
How about Norris, Leclerc, Verstappen, Russel?
@@TheJonDoe Alonso and Hamilton propably better than them. Alonso for sure, about Hamilton im not sure.
@@dawidkulas1492 They have all shown enough. Leclerc maybe not, but I believe he could. Hamilton beat Alonso in the same car and has had stronger teammates than Alonso has had. Also, Hamilton can manage a team and develop a car. The two major weaknesses of Alonso.
So glad Fernando came back.
2:22 making that Mercedes as wide as possible, like the new S Class 😂😂
Its amazing that the battels of these two are most of them with Fernando having a car that had no right to be even on the points positions, and Hamilton with that dominants mercedes era
in three out of the five battles, (canada, germany, mexico) lewis was in the slower car. in one they were in the same car. only in hungary did alonso have a slower car. in mexico lewis was damaged heavily thats why they were fighting for 9th. i dont know which f1 you were watching
Alonso drove the same car as Hamilton and lost. Not only that but he couldn't handle how competitive Hamilton was so ran away from his 3 year contract back to Renault where he had to watch Hamilton win a title with McLaren instead of him the next year.
Alonso fans need to stop this nonsense. Hamilton beat him. End of story. You can make up all the narratives you want about Alonso driving different cars to Hamilton but the best comparison of two drivers is when they share the same car and they have already done that. We've already seen it. Alonso lost and ran away like a chicken.
@@MT-pv2rf even Rhon Dennis told un a press conferencia he prefered that Kimi became world champ instead of Alonso, so..., then you should ask yourself how could Alonso end up with the same points 🤯
