Two world titles dont do justice to this man... fact.
I agree
He deserved more that for sure
Now he has 3 along with two 24hr Le Man wins in one year, 24hrs of Daytona and 6hrs of Spa
King Heidfeld he was robbed two championships, 2010 & 2012. FACT
Engineer 314 he was close but nowhere near robbed bro...
This - THIS - is how you race. And it's why Alonso is my favorite F1 driver; he didn't force Schumacher off the track, he didn't go for a gap that wasn't there, and he didn't make any rash decisions. Instead, he bided his time, and when the opportunity presented itself, he went for it. Here's to a better half of the 2016 season and a promising 2017 season for Fernando!
Nobody: Verstappen: *taking notes*
I mean, those were different cars with different driving techniques. Certainly hard to compare it to now
@@Tim_Morder no that is called clean racing, look at Kimi or Alonso. Now other drivers push each other and wait if FIA will fine them or not.
That last sentence aged like milk :/
Literally
Imagine Michael finally gaining consciousness this year and seeing Alonso still killing it.
He would be more concerned about his son getting kicked out of F1 than Alonso vibing in with the podiums in that Aston Martin
he wouldnt even know his son had already reached f1@@DooM_-_gAmeR_-_
@@DooM_-_gAmeR_-_ I'm not sure about that. I think he would see that his son GOT to drive an f1 car, which is already a big accomplishment that would make him proud
Alonso is magic, he's one of the best drivers on the history of Formula1
Clinical
nope, sorry!
Lucas Lolthr hes not one of the best he is the best.
@@ptristao01 nice joke
@@ironmaiden1377 Are you fr? You really think Schumi or Senna are worse than Alonso??
What an AMAZING race, one of the best F1 races I've ever seen. I have a lot of good memories from this move by Fernando... I was 7 and I was screaming so much when he overtook Michael. It was such a shame seeing Alonso out because of that wheel...
jajaja sooy subb saludoos!
estoy de acuerdo contigo! Una carrera increíble. Esas carreras me traen recuerdos de mi infancia que me ponía a llorar cuando no ganaba Alonso. Pd: soy sub 😆
Would've loved if you said overtooked the michael :p
Heyy Efeuno.
Ese efeuno comentando! jajajajaja, totalmente de acuerdo contigo. Tio me acabo de dar cuenta de que somos de la misma edad xD jajaja
classic onboard ?? should be called: Legend onboard !
damn alonso really had a unique aggressive driving style back then. u can see how he moves his steering wheel. unfortunately he cant do it anymore in the current era otherwise he'll screw up his tyres. hope mclaren will be a championship contender next year cus he definitely deserves another title more than anyone on the grid.
Victor Mhd His unique driving style was mostly due to the fact that the Renault cars (specifically the ones he won his championships in) were notoriously difficult to drive. He had to change his style to suit the car more. His style was even called "ugly but effective"
Rotten Apple I had the opposite thinking of that. For me, it looks like the renault drives itself. The traction control and downforce of that car looks pretty insane. So I think his aggressive style only works because the car is so good all around.
@@LuisKachan Glad to see I`m not the only that though so!
@@LuisKachan a little late to comment but here's the explanation.... Both the R25 and R26 had unusual weight distribution and massive structural stiffness at the rear which made the car difficult to drive. This distribution also made it easy to lose control of the car and spin out. Plus, It would tend to understeer, the lightly-loaded front tyres took longer to load up than a conventional car that was front loaded. But once loaded up, they could generate more grip for a given level of load. to speed up the slow-building of the front tyres grip into slow corners, Alonso would essentially throw the car into the curve as aggressively as he could. Alonso figured this out as a way to cope with an understeery car but it wasn't his natural driving style. Its why Giancarlo struggled because he couldn't get the car loaded up quickly so it was later on power.
@@rumblefish9 it also made it an awesome car, he had way more grip than Michael in this race, either from the car or the tyres, but a far superior package in this situation. Wont take anything away from him though, hes an incredible driver.
That pass on the outside, what a driver Alonso is. Pure talent, true legend.
Phenomenal the way Schumacher who clearly had zero grip was placing the car.
The front end of that ferrari clearly almost lost traction several times...
@@ravileejones7381 Yes, but, when you're one of the best drivers F1 has seen everything gets downplayed.
I was watching the race live and, when i saw Alonso changing tyres AND adjusting the front wing, it was clear who will be the winner, as Schumacher was completely out of grip
@@miguelangelparra5429 People don't realise the Ferrari that Michael was driving in 2006 was out of its depth in terms of balance and aero changes thanks to forced regulation changes in 2005. How he managed to get that car to compete for the championship was sheer skill.
Clearly people here dont realise that this video shows is brilliance of Michael and way of defending and positioning the car. Ferrari was here a sitting duck, Michelin tyres were class of their own especially in wet weather back then. Basically Michael stood zero to none chances here.
No DRS, (no KERS), great drivers, great sound and no Safety Car starts in the rain ... THAT'S F1
better have TC on a 19 000 rpm v10 than a 12 000 rpm revving V6 with a silencer and safety cars
+Googol That was a v8
O Shellayy of course - i should've put more emphasis on the "better" part of my point ;)
+Googol I understand though. I went to spa last year and the gp2/3 cars sound fantastic but the f1 cars are so quiet. It's pathetic.
O Shellayy i can't believe FIA allowed Toto Wolf to corrupt the sport so much
Back when F1 races didn't start behind the safety car.
exactly... back when their screaming engines would straighten our body hair
the best drivers in the world must be start behind the safety-car ! This is unbelievable ! Bulild a roof over the track ! The next race start at wet I don`t watch that !
back when f1 cars had traction control
+sauldulaiii No
Yes. Yes they did.
Alonso the only one that remembers me of the old glory of F1 with epic fights and distilled ingenuity. He is the heir of Senna/Piquet, Prost/Mansell combined. And what he is doing right now at Aston Martin is his cherry top ending. What a legacy!
Those engine sounds are magical, they don't do em like they used to anymore
Thinking about two things while watching. -F1 Championship Edition is a really stunning game, even ten years later! -The Gp of Hungary 2006 was one of the best races in the 2000s Could watch this for hours...
Except that stupid gear shifts on early f1 games.
Reza Utama F1 CE was the latest game made by Studio Liverpool, but I've always drive on automatic transmission in the early games.
Are you British? Because that would explain why you loved this race.
Daniel Santana No, not really. Are you Spanish? That would explain why you didn't loved this race :P
+200LiterKopter no I'm Brazilian
Charlie where is the safety car?
That race would be ruined with Charlie's actual decisions
" Charlie, Fucking wake up" - Webber. lol
It was a great car, yes. But Alonso did with Fisichella just the same one or two laps before, which proves that he was so much quicker than everybody in this race, he had something special in these conditions, thanks to the understeer and the way he makes open lines in every turn I think. In my opinion he should have won this one, after Valencia 2012 it would have been the best one... It´s also a pity because when you say Hungary 2006 seems like everybody remembers that fabulous victory of Button, but not many people remember this outstading overtake to Schumi round the outside! Amazing show!
He pulled a 52 seconds gap to Kimi, It would have been his best victory
Best driver ever. Thank you Fernando!
Wow very nice.. This is racing! Shumi Defending his position with all he's got, closing every gap.. And Alonso trying every trick he knows to get past
Fernando Alonso is the best F1 driver now
Hai proprio ragione... peccato sia "castrato" a causa della sua monoposto... se fossero tutte uguali come molti anni fa, allora si che sarebbe una che fa la differenza...
+Sono Kris molti anni fa uguali? Mai state uguali.
+Sono Kris bravo Kris sei il primo che e d'accordo con me adesso quasi tutti dicono che Alonso fa schifo io tifo lui e nessuno capisce che oggi sono le monoposto che fanno vincere e purtroppo non il pilota
+Lucio Torri Alonso per la monoposto che ha, riesce a fare risultati incredibili!! È lui che è da ammirare! No un biondino che si sente chissà chi e tutto grazie alla sua monoposto! Quelli non sono campioni.. solo ragazzini... ;)
+Sono Kris bravo e quello che ripeto a tutti da un sacco di tempo basta guardare a button hanno la stessa vettura lui e Alonso ma Alonso fa risultati migliori
#KeepfightingMichael
He's a vegetable mate. He isn't going to die unless they choose to.
+flyhighpizzapie and you're a horrible person mate.
Mr.G95 What? I hope Schumi survives and is back to normal but the "Keep fighting Michael" is completely outdated now. He's not in a life threatening condition now so he has nothing to fight against. All they can do now is keep him alive in the state he's in.
flyhighpizzapie He can still mentally fight, even if his body isn't currently in a state to. Throughout his motor racing career he was relentless, he never gave up in any race and I doubt he will give up in this fight either. And showing support with that message is the least anybody can do, even if you have given up hope many and himself have not.
Schumi is really vegetable lol.

GET IN THERE!!-
When i see these days F1 my heart like "What happened to you F1".
Politics, kneeling before the race, and compelled speech.
Didn't tiametmarduk win this race though?
hahaha
nice one :DD
+Dylias an f1 gaming youtuber
Hahaha!
Nice one, dude lol
It’s October 2022 and I’d still take Fernando over any other driver on the grid. He can maximize any car he drives while the other guys on the grid seem to always need to best car, suited to them, to get the best results.
wait f1 cars can actually race in the wet? /s
yes they do they always have and always will this is F1
traction control back in 2006
Nope. In Silverstone the safety car made the field dry out the track until it was down to intermediates conditions. Because a really wet track is not deemed safe anymore.
Yeah, F1 racing is better in the wet :) Well you seem more overtakes etc I mean :D
+Cloxxki maybe because Jules Bianchi accident. It was FIA fault, but FIA said that was rain's fault
Who's here after his defence against Hamilton today?
Fernando going offline to find the grip, michael savagely blocking, great clip.
I was able to see alonso racing in F1 and next year I will be able to watch his young driver son Alonso Junior in F1. What a time to be alive!
Uau! Alonso is one of the best drivers of all time. Winning or not, no matter what the car, it's always a pleasure to see him drive!
This shows AGAIN, how incredible Michael Schumacher is... He's clearly struggling with the car, looks like he has no grip and he's doing his best. Great race for both!
That sound..
Alonso first laps were stunning. The same categorie as Senna in Donnington.
Anyone back after the last Hungarian gp
Alonso is the best driver in the world, he's magic
Samuel F1 One of the best I would say ! The best is Senna !
Djork Solo he is talking about now, not period
Djork Solo senna is dead
@@djorksolo8544 alonso one hand enough for senna
rain master as always, fernaaando alooooonso, better than anyone in rain
What about Schumi?!
+Snipe0Rain i prefer alonso and i think that he's better
What about Senna!?
+Nil Cortines Alonso, senna, Schumi, and button are the best wet drivers in my opinion
+Snipe0Rain rubens was a great driver in wet conditions. I don't know if u remember, but when Senna jumped 5th to 1st in the very first lap, Barrichello jumped 12th to 3rd! But he had to retire unhappily.
That has to be the best video you guys have ever uploaded
Can't believe a lot of people don't appreciate this man.. Imagine dethroning a 5 in a row world champ with a second best car in just your 4th year in F1 and repeating it again next year...Unreal..!
Also not that Fernando used Michellin tyres and Michel used Bridgestone, in wet weather Bridgestone stood no chance against Michellin.
El mejor piloto de todos los tiempos sin ninguna duda, F.Alonso.
Con permiso de Ayrton Senna por supuesto 😉
Wow, what amazing determination from both of those guys.
It's so cool to see a driving style that is so obviously different to others.
thats why i love Alonso, he has an unique driving style so cool to watch
That's how F1 should sound! AWESOME!
What?? The V8 sound is terrible, nothing like the V10s and the V8s were far too weak. Even the new hybrids sounds better than that bee sounding V8 engine!
I prefer this over v6s cuz I don't want to hear a 10,000 rpm vacuum cleaner
I've never liked the sound of the V8s in 2006-2013, indeed the current V6s sounds better.
f1 is not a fucking sound contest
+nixxxon18 We know but the sound adds the pleasure of racing
THIS IS FORMULA 1
The track is proper wet and alonso is ready to leave the racing line, go to the outside of the track and accelerate hard to create a new line to close up to schumacher without even thinking of the risk of spinning off the track. That incredible car control and grit is one of the reasons fernando alonso is one of the GOATs.
The most underappreciated f1 driver from the last 20 years
Those first laps from Alonso were the best display of driving I've ever seen
0:52 schumacher knew alonso was going X him, and defended well. nice move
Sound of these engines man just wow.
There is just something about this man that I had adored since 2004. My forever king 👑
Man this race Alonso deserved to win that race... And he was pulling fantastic overtake after another... Until he had a lung nut broke loose and retired
To me Jenson deserved it after all he started 14th
Alonso started 15th, even lower
but in the best car of the season
+FrostiFreeze Nop. The mass damper prohibition was before this
Byron Ohene-Adu Alonso had the better car, Jenson didn't, you tell me, the champ who could have won it of it was dry, or the Brit who couldn't have won it if it was dry, who deserved it more then
What a grt move by Alonso. Going to the outside of your opponent and then overtaking him that too in wet conditions is not an easy task
This 2 minute clip was more entertaining/exciting to watch than anything current F1 has delivered in the last couple of years. F1 needs to understand the obvious...it's not all about being micro-seconds quicker, it's about competition among the drivers, and giving them the ability to demonstrate their skills.
2006: 2 time champ chasing 7 time champ in Hungary 2021: Role Reversal IYKYK
0:57 5 second penalty for crossing the white line
😂😂
CHARLIE!!!!! XD
Yes
Nope. Schumi forces it and Alonso slows down. I see no penalty here
Lel, you're too serious here mate. Schumacher just defended it very well by the way. No reason for a penalty indeed.
Who's here after Alonso-Hamilton battle at hungary?
Formula 1 KZhead has really upped the content quality this season. I hope this continues. The videos here are a lot more enjoyable than all the Formula 1 -related programs aired on TV aside from the GPs themselves.
Amazing how clearly you can see his driving style here!
Is it really possible to catch a wild rain master in his natural habitat?
Yes, when you have Michelin tires, which had more performance in rain that days.
Fernando Michelin tyres in wet conditions were whole another level compared to Bridgestone Michael had.
not really... Senna was one lap ahead
It was clear that Schumi was struggling with grip while Alonso was not even doing correction moves on the steering wheel.
@@venominjected sure both tires had + - so stop crying
Alonso King
I really miss those engines. Sound is immersive and part of the whole deal.
Best overtake ever
Suzuka 2005 - 130R 🫣😱
Whoever thinks Alonso isn't the best driver on the grid today after watching this, one of many examples of his skill, should have their head examined.
as a schumi fan, i came here when i miss these days.
In all time history of f1 I hate shumi most
Why?
A battle on the edge. Love it ❤️
Round the outside in the wet on the dirt and rubber, pretty skilled champ.
When F1 was F1, just amazing, I miss those battles between Schumi and Alonso
Amazing 🤩 Shumacher ❤ Alonso two bigger drivers of the history 🏎️🏎️
What a race. What a brilliant battle between two of the best! F1 at its finest
Tremendo como presionaba Fernando a Michael, necesitamos más de esto en la actualidad 🏎🏎
1K+ likes to only ONE dislike. I've never seen such a high like/dislike ratio, it's absolutely incredible
Yep, still just one dislike after an hour you posted :) Hope it stays that way :) I'm not even an Alonso fan but no way would I downvote just because of that. It's quite pathetic really.
the best duel after senna- prost. F1 these days is a joke.
No It's a Yolk😜
A yoke!
Alonso started P15 for this race and Michael P11.
Mika Hakkinen and Schumacher true
Yoke *
Great driving techniques by Master. 👌🏁☔
I hope someday F1 will return
Alonso took the rain-master title from schumacher that day :=)
That Renaults pace tho
op
+vebavid Shame they suck this season
They suck every season... except 2005 and 2006
It was the Michelin tyre in this condition that excelled over the bridgestone. That's where this pace is coming from..... they also had factory tyre teams Renault (M) /Ferrari (B) with optimized suspensions for their respective tyres.
Alonso´s pace *
thats the reason i liked to watch formula 1 till 2017 or so..
soo beautiful
shades of Donington 1993
this suddenly recommended after alonso and lewis clashing in 2021
How of all great things did he overtake in that corner?! Wow!👏🏻
this is the content that we need
What a great battle, Shumi clearly with no traction but changes all of his lines to block Fernando and still stays ahead in the straight, today's F1 cars can't follow as close as these guys could through the chicanes so don't see this anymore sadly. And check it kids 1 change of direction only so he's planning that ahead of time while reacting to the faster Renault! I am the biggest Shumi fan but I was rooting for Fernando when he pulled out and winced when he turned in, superb!
Two of the greatest, awesome battle during 2006
Alonso has been the best driver since Michael.
@@TheKestevon Lewis not crylonso
@@AZBCDEE Nah Lewis lost to George
@@TheKestevon and Fernando lost to rookie lewis 😆
I'd have a hell of a time explaining my watch history to someone - I just watched a GOAT chase another GOAT for 2 minutes
Wow, this is amazing!
This was 10 years ago. Damn...
Alo is one of the few drivers who can beat Schumi. Awesome hungrian GP. Two lejends
Schumacher vs. Alonso. One of the last REAL Formula One battles. The ones nowadays between those whiny baby boys are just a joke.
I think it's a little too much. Since then , we've still had Kimi - Lewis , Lewis - Felipe , Fernando - Seb , yes , cars got slower , uglier ( imo ) and more unreliable , but there i think 07-10 have been very good seasons , with 2012 also up there as one of the most beautiful seasons in history.
+King Heidfeld wtf? V6s turbo are the fastest f1 car ever! Look at Austrian Gp, the record was broken, Canadian Gp too. Williams said that Bottas reached 379km/h.
Candido Vini00 Didn't refere particulary to this year's cars. Yes , this year cars are quick , but looking back ... since around 2005 cars went backwards in terms of performance as well as tires. Comparing 2005 cars to let's say 2010 and 2014 , it's all downhill. But you are right , from the introduction of the hybrids , cars only got quicker.
+King Heidfeld oh, yes you are right too. 2016 cars are faster
Yeah WILLIAMS SAID! It wasn't officially measured. And also the V10 cars never raced in Baku so who knows what they could have achieved.
To see him control that car in rain with that much understeer. It's just amazing
What a Magic sound
Heutzutage schickt man bei den Bedingungen das Safety car raus...

Impresionante como conduce Alonso y encima en piso mojado. Un extraordinario piloto!!!!!!

I can't believe Hamilton has 7 titles and this one has 2... Shows how important luck is in this sport.

Watch again Lewis rookie year 😊
Hamilton deserved 7, cheater Schumacher didnt
@@sandordomonkos8351 he was amazing for a rookie no doubt. With an immense support from the team and the british media too.
@@sandordomonkos8351 cheater? He made that car what it is. He actually made Mercedes what it is, Lewis was just lucky enough to land on it. Oh and if we talk about cheating, how about Mercedes knowing new regulations way before than anyone else and start working on it and therefore dominating for 8 years? Did you really think Lewis just got lucky with his decision? No he knew Mercedes got inside info way before than anyone else. That one is actually cheating.
Last great F1 driver
That is the racing I like, leaving the other driver not enough space to pass but not pushing him out of the circuit
Back when F1 was actually fun to watch
Hamilton would have just crashed from behind
The Sound is SOOOOO much better than this V6 Hybrid bullshit
Nunca le ha temblado el pulso a este hombre en lluvia.
JUST BRILLIANT!
