I'm not anti-Alonso, i think he's a supremely talented driver, but i guess its just his fiery temperament that gets in the way.

Alonso was willing to carry on the Ferrari legacy but the car, the lack of development and the political infighting at Ferrari (De Montezomolo was ousted and Domenicalli resigned) in the 4 years (especially the last year) made Alonso decide not to sign a long term deal. Mclaren was also at the time a good choice. Everyone thought that Mclaren would be able to iron out their reliability issues. At the time he made these choices, no one questioned him. Just now that when we look back on all this do we say he made bad choices.

I think in general it was a messy season in the race for the championship. And it came down to the team with less mistakes. But for example, little things like releasing Seb first in Q3 at Monza basically determined who won the race; Seb was instantly vulnerable to Hamilton at the start and all it took was a risky move round the outside. Had Kimi been released first, Seb would've had that block and that opportunity for the win. So when you think about it one of Seb's collisions was actually manifested by the team, sure the end result could have been stopped by Seb. But yeah. Little things like that did really contribute towards the end of the season.

It's no surprise Mclaren was nowhere in *2013* when JB became their main driver and source of input.

The best irony, is that prior to 2019 with RB, Honda’s best finish was in 2018, with a 4th place finish with Toro Rosso Bahrain, higher than the McLaren chassis finished

Minardi at least has excuse of having so tiny budget. Some teams had larger budget for just one season than Minardi had over multiple seasons put together.

I think it was quick in the corners but slow in the straights and had high drag (as it was this year) but they believed the straight line deficit was due to Honda but then they found out they played a large role as well.

I call Fernando’s 2015-16 car the “Dark Nightmare”

Can we just appriciate how patient and talented he is

Renault, Mclaren, Ferrari with Alonso the driver : This car is a Yolk, yolk, GP2 engine? *everybody tried to understand, develop the car again *Alonso quit Ferrari, Renault (Red Bull engine) : Oh what Alonso said was is a Joke, and F2 engine, we understand now *Redbull wins championship with renault power, Ferrari was improved and compete with Mercedes So next year Mclaren will be improve right? if the curse of Alonso is true anyhow this curse made him a legend right? best driver with ordinary car

He's simply the best driver of his time, better than both Vettel and Hamilton for sure.

Renault's 2009 car was called R29 and 2008 car R28. Listed mistaken on the list in the end.

It's funny how, given the chance of taking one of those cars for a blast around a racetrack... I'd go with the Minardi every time!

God bless the GP2 engine :D

Autosport: how much do you want to be in this video Meclaren:yes

2:08 At what race did the 2008 renault have Bridgestones on the front and Michelins on the rear, tyregate scandal 🤔

I think it would be fair to say he had the best car in 2005/2006 I mean the mclaren at the time was generally quicker but their reliability totally negated that advantage

All the speculations in the comments masked as professional opinions 😂🤦🏿‍♂️

Alonso is his own worst enemy. His attitude and etiquette sunk his career.

I wonder what he thinks about all of this. I'm watching F1 from 2011 and I really wanted to see him win a title, as his talent and skills clearly showed through out all of this years. I hope he writes a book about all of this one day. I have a feeling that Max is gonna replace Hamilton at Mercedes in the near future, maybe then he can come back to Red Bull and give it another shot ? Would still like to see him race, regardless...

6:30- ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, no F1 car should ever look like that anymore...

For me, Alonso is the greatest of them all.

I counted 3 fastest cars. 2005 Renault 2006 Renault 2007 Mclaren

The Minardi didn't deserve that, they did what they could with the limited budget The MP4-30 was a terrible car by a team + engine manufacturer that should have known better And it almost killed him in testing...

I think the fact that he has accomplish everything that he did with "average machinery" justifies immensely how much a good driver Fernando is.

Up until he left Alonso was still one of if not the best driver on the grid, his entire career has been plagued with underperforming cars and if not for that I belive he'd be easily a 5 time champion and maybe more

McLaren done 2 things to destroy a team 2 1:teammates that hated each other what they fixed in 2015 2:choice of engine why has McLaren picked Renault when Red bull was having a really bad 2017 and 2018 was not improving at all

The 1991 Williams was the fastest car but it was also unreliable. By mid 1991 Williams won 4 straight races and overtook McLaren for the lead in the constructors' . Fastest laps is usually a good measure of how fast a car is in race pace and Williams had 8 fastest laps in 1991 compared to 4 for McLaren. Here's another thing: McLaren led 502 laps in 1991 and Williams 421. What won the 1991 title for McLaren were their (and Senna's) reliability. Senna had a 95,3% reliability rate in 1991, compared to Mansell's 78,9%. Bear in the mind that the Williams FW14 in 1991 was just slightly improved into the all-dominant FW14B in 1992 which easily won both titles. Example: Mansell led 68 out of 69 laps in the 1991 Canadian GP. His gearbox broke down on the last lap and he limped home in 6th. (The gearbox malfunctioning also meant Mansell had the retire from the first three races of the 1991 season.) Then there was the electronics giving up when he was leading in Belgium. Now, had it not been for last lap gearbox issue in Canada and electronics in Belgium Mansell would have won both those races. He'd then have 20 more points and Senna 4 points less (not winning at Spa). They thus end up in the same points but Mansell is champion by virtue of winning 1 more race. Long story short. The 1991 McLaren may have been the overall best car in 1991 but it definitely wasn't the fastest. It was clear already that the Williams was the better package. In 1992 this was proved undoubtedly. The 1990 McLaren was the best car on fast tracks but it was also clear that slower tracks with tighter curves favored the 1990 Ferrari. In Portugal for instance Ferrari qualified a clear 1-2 and given how much further Berger was in the other McLaren it's safe to say Senna's qualifying made the McLaren look closer in pace than it actually was. Again, if we're to look at the fastest laps as an indication of raw speed of the cars the 1990 season gives us 5 fastest laps for McLaren, 5 for Ferrari and 5 for Williams. Prost won 3 races in a row mid-season in 1990 and after winning the British GP Prost was leading the point standings with 41 points to Senna's 39. The Honda V10 was the best engine. The Ferrari 641 was arguably the best chassis. Was the 1990 McLaren the fastest car or did just Senna's fantastic pace make it look better than it was? I'd make an argument of the 1985 Lotus being the fastest car. After all nobody led more laps than Senna did in 1985. As fast as the Lotus was it was also unreliable and Senna inexperienced at the time.

What an obnoxious statement of "fact" at the beginning of this video which is but a mere fiction.

Mclaren is GP2 chassis

Alonso is the equivalent too Kurt Busch in NASCAR. Unreal driving ability, early success and championships, but hasn’t quite found the success due too not always driving the dominant car of the year. Oh yeah and they both also raced the Indy 500 and both were contenders as well.

Alonso is basically the king of driving tractors

Best car only 2007, come back win 2/3 world title. #nothingisimpossible
