2017 Indianapolis 500 - Fernando Alonso Qualifying

Day 1 of Qualifying

[@subhadipsarkhel6727]

This man right here is one of the legends of motorsport racing. He won races with cars good enough for 10th place.

[@EndaRochford]

Alonso is one of the greatest natural drivers in the world. Thats all you need to know

[@dcstrng1]

All major racing classes seem to go through ups and downs... don't forget that back when Indy Car and CART were fighting, they almost managed to sink the sport -- like NASCAR is trying to do in recent years scoring racing like it was a baseball game... Indy has certainly reemerged, and I think FI is going through another few years of transition... Next month LeMans -- another story in the making (I hope)

[@Firemarioflower]

+dcstmg1 Up and downs..... but nothing like an organisation (FIA) WILFULLY ruin a sport by taking away exciting elements and bringing crap that we dont'need

[@rumblefish9]

McLaren has been shit but Alonso's talent has never diminished. Look at him at LeMans 2018. Give him a good car, a fighting chance and he'll win it. #TRIPLECROWN

[@HersokBlogspot]

You can't

[@drs_tgc5446]

1:31 I don't wanna be negative on his Formula 1 ride but this is the first time this year he stands the chance of winning a race Shots fried xD

[@hardcorefreak4634]

TheGameController his f1 car is shit it cant beat a sauber with a last year ferrari engine.....

[@Chooobs]

The Pixel Ranger hence why Williams was constantly on the last row this season

[@theonetheonlyjoey]

It was perfectly true though, McLaren were dogshit in F1 that year

[@akhileshmoorthy]

someone will cry if alonso wins. hope alonso wins or at least a top three finish.

[@robidaster]

if he wins im gonna cry out of joy... he deserves wins! :D

[@chrispraz877]

And most likely, we'll have this to look forward to when Fernando is done in F1. This is unfinished business.

open wheel racing is SO much better than nascar

[@TheMW2informer]

I Like Pie wrong

[@TheRealGunWhisperer]

I’m American and I agree 😂 I love nascar it’s our Motorsport! But I’m also a avid racer myself and will always believe open wheel racing is better more exciting much harder and much much more dangerous,

[@shilpi326]

james burnham It doesn’t make open wheel racing better that it’s more dangerous

[@Trainmaster909]

As much as I like open wheel racing I love IMSA Weathertech SportsCar Championship and WEC

[@javiergonzalez1368]

​@@TheRealGunWhisperer nascar its so boring.......jeje

[@jraybay]

Its funny seeing the rookie stripes on his car heh. Great driver, hoping he does well

[@markclink4956]

Montoya's rookie year was also funny with Montoya having to have his rain light on all time even though he led the points, and a lot of laps, for most of the season.

[@willmac5642]

nice line

[@amjan]

370kph and chillin' on the 4th gear. That's nice :))) @indycar kph please?????

[@rdfox76]

They do offer kph on their international feeds; this was recorded from the US ABC feed.

what are then 5 and 6 then for?

[@Jtngetabettername]

@ Drafting and fuel Saving?

[@125guitarmaster]

Actually I think that was a glitch in ABC's telemetry. There's no way he wouldn't be using 5th and 6th at the speedway.

[@mpa1931]

@ Short gearing when they do road courses

[@Racing247]

Fernando Alonso is one of the best drivers in the world.

[@rafsongs]

Sorry for the noob question... Does he still driving for formula 1? i´ve been asking myself what the heck is he doing in formula indy?

[@Kartracer24x]

yes he is just skipping the monaco gp

[@weltonferreira8171]

yes still in mclaren , he was meetinng a new category of motorsports

[@FloosWorld_AoE]

It's the IndyCar Series, not the Formula Indy

[@ajw1045]

I'm curious how you do a fast lap with these things. Any secrets?

[@rdfox76]

At Indy? Hit your marks precisely, keep your foot in it, and have balls the size of the car's rear tires, basically...

[@ajw1045]

Aah.

[@gijs.22]

rdfox76 and dare to drive with low down force

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

His chance of a full time Indycar ride, Gone, because of his “GP2 engine” quote from 2015

Honda isn't the only engine manufacturer in IndyCar

[@StaySqueezy12]

Depends on them year, this past indy 500, cars topped out at 241

Come back...

[@Joeszn12]

Didn't know he was in indycar last time I saw he was in f1

[@joeyloganofan5699]

He's still in F1 full-time. He just tried out the biggest race out there last year. Going for the triple crown. Indy 500(Did pretty good), Monaco(won) & Le Mans(Trying it this year and next)

[@yolopeh]

What a beast

[@daniel4726]

How do you make faster turn than someone else on this "track"

[@Acecombatrules59]

370kmh at 4th gear? the fuck is the top speed of those cars then?

[@Sky-gj1dv]

Es que iba en 4a... todo el rato... el motor dijo basta!

[@StopNightcoreV2]

Los motores en la indy 500 están configurados para usar la 4,5 y 6 marcha como marcha tope, y cambian según si hay tráfico, si van a rebufo, etc

[@LepKenetmiss]

the mclaren is slow? :S

I have a suspicion that after the Indy 500, Alonso is going to tell McLaren to Fuck off and go Indy full time

[@hameidy]

the car he is driving in indy 500 is a mclaren, same as f1 he has a honda engine too. he wont have a hard time trying to find another seat but he'll deffo have fucked himself with mclaren and honda is he does that.

[@MrStamford78]

[@Manuu.19]

MrYosu69 Joder no conocia casi nada la indy y es la puta hostia velocidad pura y dura no como la f1 y de verdad me estoy emganchando y mira que soy fan de formula 1 pero esta berraca esta perrona 😂😂😂

[@Manuu.19]

WPCtutosalgrano mucha razon las clasificaciones son la puta hostia . Se te suben los huevos a la garganta al ver cuanto se acercan a los muros para ganar velocidad alucinante . Imaginate una carrera entera

[@MrYosu69]

Puede que tengáis razón, no voy a pasarme de listo sin haberla visto ;-) Simplemente comparándola me parece una conducción muy plana, en una vuelta de F1 hay entre 50 y 60 cambios de marcha, diferencial, kers, reparto de frenada etc etc etc . Supongo que se acercan al muro pero precisamente en que la que Alonso no va a correr (Mónaco) lo rozan muchas veces. Supongo que con todos los coches será divertida. Salu2

[@Manuu.19]

***** Bueno alonso no hiba a correr la de monaco de todas formas 😂😂😂 Si hubiera tenido suerte podria haber echo 3 vueltas . Mejor en indy que en f1 sin hacer nada .

[@mouti8995]

F1 drivers can teach indy 500 how to drive Indy 500 can't race f1

[@FloosWorld_AoE]

The Indy 500 is a race, not an entire series

[@mbrofc]

I'd beat anyone in the same car, Lewis beat you at Mclaren. I still think your an all time great Fernando Alonzo, good luck at Indi.

[@electango9166]

Not really, Dennis publicly stated in China 2007 that "We are not racing Kimi, we are racing Alonso". If your boss says that and your teammate happens to be his protege since a child and an englishman in an english team, then you are allowed to think they are not friendly.

[@ty567100]

Michael Hankey...Tied on pts MIKEY...why don't you look at the history of Ron Dennis and trying to push a rookie down everyone's throat instead of the current 2 time WDC at the time and in the end they lose everything....that's why you don't bet on a rookie like lewis!

[@ttg001]

Michael Hankey Well, they actually ended with the same points Hamilton having Dennis' push. That's remarkable to say the least

[@TheProkonover]

He lost against McLaren in 2007, not Lewis or Kimi. That's why he left after a year.

[@vikumwijekoon3166]

um they screwed up themselves with that espionage shit. cuz for real, teams care morte about constructors cuz they get paid a lot

[@GamessF1]

These guys talking as if formula 1 is below Indy and as if Alonso is a nobody. He is one of the all time greatest drivers. Far from that.

[@StaySqueezy12]

They literally said the opposite

[@snakerman2612]

what a silly ass sport, compared to F1 you almost don't need any skill

[@snakerman2612]

You just proved my point. He didnt destroy because you barely need any skill, its like playing the lottery

[@j.pdiazlabrador8414]

Steve from Yellowstone nah buddy. You are going at 370. Any mistake, you are fucked. I love F1, but oval racing is tough af.

[@chadbrookes827]

Driving an oval is much easier to him

Indy 500 so boring...
