ALONSO'S POLE RUN (PURE SOUND!) [CROWD REACTION]

[@DavidLand91]

THANKS EVERYONE FOR CHECKING OUT MY VIDEO! Take a look at a video I did on McLaren's Indy 500 History, it might interest those of you with an F1 connection. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnmUp357apalos0

[@angeleternity]

David Land thanks to you! Go Fernando!

[@franciscomontes7453]

Very nice, Thanks you!! VAMOSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

[@philrod1]

David Land - Thanks for sharing, dude. F1 fan here! Indy looks crazy fast. Still seems odd to have Takuma Sato ahead of Fernando Alonso 😂

[@brantdietrich8364]

David Land I was there

[@doggo7764]

wait why is he so special I don't really watch indy car

As a spaniard I'm really impressed with the american crowd. They seem so supportive and cheerful for a guy that they really don't know much about... I think that is a lesson for us F1 fans.

[@SternLX]

Actually, you'd be surprised how many Americans follow F1. It's more than you'd think. Most Indy car fans follow F1 as well.

[@Jean-Pierre-Villard]

@SternLX That really surprise me, especially since F1 use hybrid engine system, i´m European (German-French) and my entire life F1 fan, but since they use this hybrid engine system my heart is bleeding, they sound now like my vacuum cleaner, it was and is literally a sacrilege what they do.... i´m missing the typical F1 sound very much. ps. sorry for my catastrophic "English" ;)

[@SaladFingers_]

I was impressed too. It looks like Indycar fans are a great example of good sportsmanship. Of course, they enjoyed the publicity that ALonso brought to them, but most people I've seen in interviews and such seem like they genuinely respect him and Formula 1. F1 fans could use some of that attitude.

[@rowanwalch5284]

Jack García who is to say Americans are not f1 fans

[@codmod55]

American die-hard F1 fan here! We're out here, sometimes waking up at 2-5 in the morning to watch practice, qualifying, and the races every weekend!

[@karimzr94]

The expectation that Alonso is causing is insane, almost nobody in Europe cared about indycar in the last years and suddenly everybody is an expert. Just Magic Alonso can do this

[@nickb7089]

Wagymaniac I definitely agree there is hype, but expert?... I am an f1 and indycar fan in the US and let me say that I have seen far too many f1 fans state incorrect facts and numbers about indycar. Still, im glad the series is getting some attention.

[@karimzr94]

I´m sorry, of course I didn't mean real expert but more like "expert" trying to be a little bit ironic.

[@nickb7089]

Ahh, I see

[@sergioandre8759]

Who is alonso and what is indycar?!

[@Silent_Shadow]

Wagymaniac He did the same for spain with F1.

[@ThePointlessBox_]

the engine feels good, much faster than F1, amazing

[@estebanmorales6568]

He is doing a great job and drawing millions of eyeballs to Indy Car

[@russianbubbawallace8681]

Esteban Morales because f1 is garbage right now

[@didickcheeseburger]

ThatoneElliottfan24 f1 has been garbage the past few years but its nice to see ferrari able to challenge mercedes this year.

[@russianbubbawallace8681]

didickcheeseburger true, but we need racing like indycar in f1. hell, put in a short oval even. weed out the drivers who have balls *cough* not Hamilton *cough*

[@jackholmes9985]

I'm pretty sure it takes more balls to be good at a circuit like Monaco than on an oval 😂

[@valle3452]

@Jack Holmes: It probably does. Alonso has won that one twice already.

[@AlbertoAJr01]

I was there and honestly i've never been more excited to see a driver before. There were so many people that went there just to support him and all the atmosphere and feeling you got when he was driving from the fans was like none other.

[@druginducedfeverdream1613]

"he's so consistent!" that my friend. is part of what Formula 1 is all about

[@amjan]

This is what IndyCar is all about. You, dude, are watching IndyCars right now, don't get it wrong.

[@druginducedfeverdream1613]

amjan i mean...isnt that what all racing is about

[@ack434]

All the hardwork from Formula 1 and Le Mans

[@Brandon-ie4bc]

That, and spending A LOT of money on the car.

[@kistosable]

@@amjan if you know anything about F1 and Alonso you would know that Alonso won his F1 championships mainly because his consistency. Obviously he was fast, if you are not fast you won't win anything. But in 2005 McLaren was way faster than Renault, but Alonso was incredibly consistent throughout the whole season. In 2006 Renault was the fastest in the first few races of the season, but then Ferrari was just unbeatable by the the second half of the season, despite that Alonso kept consistent and won the championship 1 race before the ending. Many will say that Fernando won that year due to Schumacher engine failure at Suzuka, but those people seem to forget that Alonso's engine also broke the race before at Monza.

[@ikertzeke]

Great to hear people cheering for Alonso, he is a true racer, this is a win win situation for everyone who loves racing, Alonso is a living legend, we will remember what he did, even if he does not win. Go Alonso, go. Vamos!!!

[@jameshoran8]

I went to Indy once during the 2009 race. I sat in the north stands between Turns 3 and 4. When the cars were going through for the practice laps, they all sounded like they were all broken to some degree; however, their first lap through at top speed was a totally different sound. They all sounded like pure music in symphony.

[@patchedupdemon7104]

its great to see the americans get behind him,ive read so much hate and jealousy,this was a refreshing video

[@orangecrust76]

Of course, they're ecstatic to have him in the race, it's fantastic for the image of the event and the series. It's the F1 fans who are mad that Alonso seems to prioritize Indy over Monaco. Edit: I suppose what I'm trying to say here is that Alonso puts value in the Indy 500, which a vast majority of F1 fans see as a crappy or at least subpar race. Furthermore, some people (being a minority, fortunately) believe that it shouldn't be worth Alonso's time altogether and feel the need to point out flaws of the series and the race on these videos.

[@openwheelisthebestandyoukn1206]

Monaco will not be a good race this year. I've been watching it recently, and it doesn't seem like an ideal track. The cars are too wide.

[@orangecrust76]

I've always thought that Monaco was too thin in some parts of the track (thus the problem with passing, at least at Monaco), so I definitely agree.

[@rumblefish9]

Permayonnaise He's not in the running for the driver's title. he has nothing to lose skipping Monaco. Anyway, Monaco is really a parade. If you don't get pole position, you have very little chance of winning.

[@andrewrichardson5604]

I'm not sure why you think F1 fans as a whole are mad that Alonso is skipping Monaco for the Indy 500? His car is rubbish this year, he has DNF'd for 3 races and came 12th and 14th for the other two. I think the majority of F1 fans are happy that he's enjoying himself again, and showing the IndyCar world what he can do with a good car.

[@blacksionman]

If youre a motorsport fan, you'd appreciate how beautiful and fast IndyCars are, and always have been, those things are amazing

[@Simon74]

The way he handled that right turn was just amazing!

[@SweetFlexZ]

As a Spaniard, you guys in USA know how to have fun, I hope I can be at Indy 500 someday enjoying with all of you that amazing week

[@generalkenobi066]

Best driver in the world. Chills every time watching this!

[@Tzekkie]

Thanks to Alonso and that wonderful crowd, this Indy 500 will be watched all over the globe instead Monaco's F1 GPrix. Win Win situation

[@TheProkonover]

Actually, everyone can watch both of them. F1 Monaco GP is at 14.00 in Europe time and Indy500 is like.... 4 hours later?

[@TheMotorGuyDirect]

Most F1 people watched both

[@udipta21]

Indy 500 fans have been the best and most welcoming.

[@BlaizeV]

We really need this more in Motorsport. Not enough of the top talents across the major disciplines try to crossover. Kimi Raikkonen and Alonso are the only drivers in the modern F1 era to really do it. Excluding those who have ran in WTC or Le Man etc.

[@siddkumar8032]

That's nice to see. I can tell you watch F1 but I am sure not everyone in the grandstand does and it's cool to see how much people like him. He is a nice guy good sense of humour and fast. I want Hunter Reay to win but if Alonso is the man beating him I will not mind at all

[@1Fracino]

David Land, Thank you for filming all of this & then putting it all on youtube for all of us who will never get to see this insane race in real life.

[@3storiesUp]

Very proud European today ... a very sad one also with the passing the wonderful Kentucky kid Nicky Hayden. Hope Fernando stays safe and does that grand old race proud.

[@CreepinCreeper145]

Anyone else here after Alonso got bumped from the Indy 500? 😔

[@incubrian]

still one of my favorite racing videos of all time! what an amazing year for the 500!!

[@MrMicrolin]

Fernando is my favourite driver . he's so fast .I'm UK and put alonso over any UK driver eg Hamilton

[@PersonaGrip]

So cool...I enjoyed my two days working with him at the Brickyard. I'm bummed the speed wasn't there when McLaren flew me in to help him, but it ain't over yet! Great video, David...thx for uploading.

[@jefferyspicioli9192]

Video stabilization provided by Michael J. Fox. Cheers M8.

[@kirbster1977]

Never watched Indy before but as a massive F1 fan have to watch how Alonso gets on. He sees to be learning pretty quick, I'm loving the whole Indy spectacle, cant wait to watch the race. I think more F1 drivers will follow in Alonso's foot steps :)

[@tnitron9750]

Great Video! Its just like being there in the stands. I can't wait for May! Thanks for posting!

[@Funkestech]

Awesome video, the reaction of the people is amazing. When his engine failed in the race and he got out of the car, hearing the crowd's ovation made me so proud, he deserves all the credit he gets. Grande Fernando, capolavoro! "Hoc signo vincitur inimicus!"

[@MrStucks]

Thanks for posting. He's a great driver and it's great to hear you guys are excited about having him in the Indy 500, I'm sure the race will be a whole lot more interesting than the Monaco GP.

[@cwnapier67]

Thanks for posting- great Video. Enjoyed the fast 9 today.

[@najibs]

No matter how you slice it, this is a great and historic thing for motor racing, in general. Indycar is getting a huge fan boost, as is F1. There is no loser as a result of Alonso going to do the Indy 500. Debate all you want, but everyone wins with Alonso doing this event.

[@DDTV213]

Thanks for publishing ! I'm watching Indy for the first time great to see alonso doing well!! Dan from England!

[@3dRoma3d]

Wouldnt have ruined my experience watching through a tiny screen instead of my own eyes, but thankfully I have ppl like you to sacrifice something so awesome in real life for me!!

[@rajin250]

That was a great run .. but as we know from F1, Alonso is not necessarily the fastest in qualifying, but he is super consistent in races. So I hope he has a good race.

[@mr8I7]

Rajin Ramphul - Alonso went 21-0 against his teammate in his final year of F1. I know what you mean but his qualifying is still excellent.

[@yagermeister1303]

fernando is fast in qualy but in races es his strong point, he reads very well the races but he is not bad in qualifying

[@djjazzcyagetme8411]

Thanks for posting this from a F1 fan. 👍

[@GeorgeX.]

I ve been a long time f1 fan and i dont know much about racing in the US,but i will definitely watch the race if there will be a live stream or something.Indycar looks fun and i like the atmosphere fans create in the ovals.Hope to see a great race.

[@xSnakeBerryx]

GeorgeΧ. Youll like the road course racing. Better than f1.

[@dmarkj22]

Thanks for sharing this video. It's great hearing the Speedway PA announcers. Makes me feel like I'm there.

[@TorrentUK]

Going to be watching my first Indy 500 tomorrow on BTSport so I can watch Alonso. Been watching him for years in F1. Without doubt one of the best F1 drivers in history. Tremendous skill and race craft. He's also a card magician! :)

[@ThePerpetualStudent]

What a sad day it is when an Indycar sounds drastically better than an F1 car. Congrats Alonso!

[@Julien2395]

The sound doesn´t matter with race cars, it´s about the top speed and downfoce in Formula 1 and Indy GP´s. In Indy oval races it´s about top speed. From my part it sounds like a fart, i it´s quick it´s cool.

[@phxfeo]

We have a hope that returning v8 will bring back a piece of old good sound. There's a video of red bull with new engine test on Zandvorth and it sounds much better than current v6.

[@skenderduncan6964]

Sound doesn't matter to YOU.

[@Blue_Monkey]

Sad day? Youre dumb as fuck when you bring this argument. Racing is primarily about being fast and battles, sound is not even secondary, its tertiary at best.

[@derbigpr500]

You haven't heard F1 cars in person, obviously. They have a much better sound, much more refined. Indy just makes noise.

[@Sumotori.]

Not so bad for a rookie! Wow

[@azynkron]

Rookie? 2 times world champion in the pinnacle of motor sport?

[@ajw1045]

BadTrip This is a totally different deal for Nando. Still quite impressive despite him being a Legend.

[@gufo_tave]

In a speedway, he is a rookie... i mean, it's his first race, driving at Indy in the correct way...

[@wezmarauder2754]

BadTrip He's a rookie at the Indy500. Whatever his other experience is doesn't matter. When you're new to something you're a rookie. End of story.

[@Arthurzeiro]

Mansel in his first year in the series won the title and if I'm not mistaken qualified 8th in the Indy 500, Alonso is doing quite well so far.

[@Maarttiin]

Tomorrow will be the very first time I'll watch an Indycar race, and it'll be because of Alo. I hope he wins!!

[@davidfairbairn8]

enjoyed that mate. been totally hooked since I started watching Fernando. been to le mans, love to go to indy next.

[@Musicman81Indy]

Absolutely AWESOME. LOVE it.

[@michaelspencer7596]

I've followed Fernando before he got in F1 , hes a great guy and an awesome driver. I'm glad to see him in IndyCar. I hope he takes the WIN at Indy...........GO! ALONSO GO!

[@minigungaming5915]

It is amazing how fast he has gotten used to Indy and the IndyCar. I feel he has a chance.

[@getupstairstobed]

Awww what a lovely video, thanks for all your support, ok didn't turn out well the 2nd time around by we've all seen what he can do, he'll be back, hopefully in 2021

[@davidwinston6721]

Thank You Thank You for not putting a cheesy soundtrack on top of the actual audio!

[@caiopassos95]

Alonso can drive anything with 4 wheels and an engine. He's amazing

[@sinner2208]

great use of the DELTA FORCE theme at the end! loved it and you go Alonso! AVANTI FER!!!! AVANTI!!!!!!!

[@JuanSanchez-kv9yl]

Alonso is a joy to watch, he deserves a lot more than what he has achieved, looking forward to watching him at Indy 2019...he might win if his engine doesn't give way....

[@nickhartwell8053]

Biggest F1/indycar link since Nigel Mansell.....great to see Indy back on the European radar

[@Scionwest]

Nice video, thanks for the upload. He's doing such an awesome job!

[@allanhughes7859]

Carlos I am also proud of him and i am from the U.K. He has always been my favouirite driver and i think always will. As you say the Americans show a lot of respect but they are car /racing lovers Motorbikes and all. This Indi thing looks nuts one mistake and its hello wall OH MY GOD !!!!!!!!!!! Anyway you guy's have a good race Have a good time and ENJOY YEAAA!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pakkinen]

thanks for uploading and thanks for the awesome welcome and support americans sre giving to Alonso. As a fellow spaniard, is great to see

[@deanhirasawa1414]

Alonso is a true racer, skips the Monaco GP to run the Indy 500, very cool! Hope he tries again when he retires from Aston Martin!

[@JaYb97716]

Come on Fernando! I'm from UK but would love it if you won the Indy500!. This race is crazy. Go chanp!!!!!

[@paulweddle9250]

Nice Camera work! I could watch the whole race like that..good job!

[@Icosiol]

Thank you for that video. There is something so pure about hearing the crowds reaction without the commentators.

[@davidkris]

David Land, that was great, felt like I was in the stands. Thanks!

[@bobboberson2024]

LOVE these Indy fans getting a chance to see Fernando. He's one of the best in the world.

[@ericclements3667]

Indy welcomes great drivers regardless of nationalities. This city really loved Alonso as evidenced by the standing ovation he received after his motor failed at the end of the race.

[@FloosWorld_AoE]

I've got a feeling that Indycar Fans are the more tolerant Motorsport Fans. I really hated to read all this "circle racing" BS which came from F1 fans after Alonsos announcement 2017.

[@bluemoon95]

Great video & Great upload. Especially at the end with the Delta Force music.

[@andresjesusmartinezherranz2004]

Thanks for the video!

[@trackside77]

Enjoyed watching this post. Liked the fact you used the theme from Delta Force.

I'm a true F1 fan and Alonso has got me watching Indy racing now. Good job whoever paid him to do this. 👊👊👊👊

[@Jaminevi]

Yo confío en Alonso, lo que pasa, que hay mucha envidia... Ojalá acabe entre los 10 primeros y les calle la boca a tod@s que no confiaron en el porque no vieron una carrera suya entera en toda su vida!

Those are awesome seats! turn 1 and turn 2 and then can see the whole front straight. nice!

[@OperationFoxley19441]

The sound is awesome! better than F1! I'm an F1 fan!

[@raffsilver9415]

I sense that Alonso is going to be one of the greatest names in Indy history. Formula One used to be great a few years back, but now listen to these Indy cars' engines. They sound exactly like what F1 should sound like or even better. Good move, Alonso.

[@TheRomanRuler]

No they don`t. Those engines don`t sound like they are screaming in pain as they are tortured like proper F1 V10 sounds like. Not going to defend sound of modern F1 engines though. V8s were not bad though.

[@twirlypenpsn4771]

Raff Silver Alonso isn't staying in Indycar. This was a one-time thing he did as a favor to McLaren. Also, the reason the engines sound different is because the Indycar V8s rev to about 12-13k, while the F1 V8s and V10s approached 18-20k.

[@TheRomanRuler]

Eh, no, he did not go to inydycar as favor to McLaren. I don´t know where you have been living, but Alonso does not care about doing favors to McLaren. Honda did this as favor for Alonso due to Alonso having so bad time in F1 due to Honda engines.

[@RobertMartino98]

TheRomanRuler and he wanted to experience a huge event like the Indy 500 and he wanted to race at 24hr of le man's but didn't (He even said this himself)

[@Jean-Pierre-Villard]

I´m European (German-French) and big F1 fan my entire life, i´m still watching F1 BUT with their hybrid engine system they sound now like my vacuum cleaner, it´s a sacrilege what they do to F1, my heart is bleeding every F1 weekend, i´m missing the typical F1 sound so much. Indycar sound of course better than actual F1 but far away from former F1, way to less rpm. INDY 500 is legendary, something that every driver around the World want to do in his life. ps. sorry for my catastrophic "English";)

[@m.x.]

University research reveals greatest Formula One driver of all time - Who is the best F1 driver of all time? "Juan Manuel Fangio who comes out as the top driver, followed by Alain Prost, Jim Clark, Ayrton Senna and Fernando Alonso. Of drivers currently racing, Alonso comes out top, followed by Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Jenson Button. [...] Michael Schumacher, who holds the record for the most championships and race victories of any driver in Formula 1, comes in a relatively modest 8th place. This is in part because those victories were won in an excellent car, but also because his ranking is dragged down by his more recent postretirement performances (2010-2012) when he performed less well than in the main part of his career and crucially was generally outperformed by his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg. [...] We were additionally able to produce rankings specific to certain weather conditions and track types. In general, these showed similar results - Fangio remained top in all but one of the categories and the top drivers still populate the top positions." - How much does the driver and the team matter? "[...] team effects significantly outweigh driver effects, accounting for 86% of driver variation. [...] there is evidence that the importance of the team has increased over time, whilst the importance of the driver has slightly decreased [...] teams are less influential in wet conditions than in dry conditions" - The greatest driver? "[...] results match those of others: nine of our top ten - Fangio, Prost, Schumacher, Alonso, Clark, Senna, Stewart, Fittipaldi and Vettel - are considered by most models and experts of be among the best drivers of all time. Our model agrees with previous statistical models (Phillips 2014, Eichenberger and Stadelmann 2009) in ranking Prost above Senna (in contrast to many subjective rankings), and in viewing drivers such as Nigel Mansell, Mario Andretti, Gilles Villeneuve and Mika Hakkinen as rather overrated by experts. [...] Perhaps the biggest surprise is the high ranking of Christian Fittipaldi at #11, despite only competing in three seasons and never making a podium finish. This ranking occurs because C. Fittipaldi consistently outperformed his team-mates, and because he never raced for a ‘good’ team, the standard required to get a high ranking is lower. [...] Other surprises are the low ranking of champion drivers such as Niki Lauda (142nd) and Alberto Ascari (76th). Lauda only performed notably well when racing for Ferrari (1974-1977) and his results dropped when racing for other, lower achieving teams. Ascari’s performances can also be at least in part attributed to his team (Ferrari);" - The team or the driver " [...] results show that teams matter more than drivers, and that about 2/3 of the team effect is consistent over time, with 1/3 being down to year-on-year changes. [...] although drivers undoubtedly matter, their influence is smaller than that of teams and team years. [...] It seems that teams have become more important over time, whilst drivers have become less important. [...] street tracks appear to reduce the team effect in comparison to purpose built tracks, whilst increasing the driver effect. [...] on street tracks, top drivers are able to differentiate themselves from less good drivers in better cars." - Conclusions: The study presents a complex multilevel model that allows to fulfil two related aims: (1) to find a ranking of F1 drivers, controlling for team effects, (2) to assess the relative importance of team and driver effects. Whilst there is significant uncertainty in the results, the models suggest that: __(1) Juan Manuel Fangio is the greatest F1 driver of all time; __(2) teams matter more than drivers; __(3) about 2/3 of the team effect is consistent over time - a ‘legacy effect’; __(4) team effects have increased over time but appear to be smaller on street circuits. - Top 5 F1 drivers of all time: 1st Juan Manuel Fangio 2nd Alain Prost 3rd Jim Clark 4th Ayrton Senna 5th Fernando Alonso - Top 5 F1 drivers currently racing: 1st Fernando Alonso 2nd Sebastian Vettel 3rd Lewis Hamilton 4th Nico Rosberg 5th Jenson Button #Sports #F1 #Formula1 #FormulaOne #Research #Study #Ranking #Best #Greatest #Driver #Team #AllTime #Current FMI: • Bell AJ, Smith J, Sabel CE & Jones K () Formula for success: Multilevel modelling of Formula One Driver and Constructor performance, 1950-2014. www.degruyter.com/view/j/jqas.ahead-of-print/jqas-2015-0050/jqas-2015-0050.xml Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports.

Humphrey D.B. Expert judge them by consistency. in modern times noone came close to Schumacher.

[@m.x.]

+Domagoj Pađen Schumacher is not even in the Top 5 F1 drivers of all time. The above study concludes that the best driver in modern times is Fernando Alonso. If you still prefer to believe unbiased opinions, that's up to you. I rather stick with unbiased research conclusions than biased "expert judge" perceptions.

[@Boleslav69]

Humphrey D.B. which study? Which university? Where is source of that crap? Wtf you smoking? Listen to what f1 legends say about it. Case closed.

[@Boleslav69]

[@jasonmvallance]

wow, there are a lot of Alonso haters out there, i want to see this guy do well, i am not a FA supporter but the guy has talent, serious talent, seen him at the British GP in his renault days and he was on it every lap to the maximum, thru maggots and Beckett`s. total commitment. dont think he will win the 500, but anything is possible, as murray walker says ,"" anything can happen , and usually does..."

[@sudharshanvinayak2148]

At least here, please give this guy the car that he deserves.. Then he'll probably kick ass in indy too like he did in formula 1 in his early days..

[@panter82]

funny how the biggest F1 race, the biggest indycar race, and the third biggest nascar race happen on the same day

[@BLyonsDesign]

He's either gonna wreck or do what Andretti did in the Daytona 500 in 1967 and win it in his first try.

[@russianbubbawallace8681]

Grand Yee he won't win, I see a top 10

[@mrjarjar1018]

ThatoneElliottfan24 he will win

[@russianbubbawallace8681]

mrjarjar1018 no, maybe a top 5 but not a win.

[@Alex_Mac_]

Grand Yee He's running the Carlos Munoz line, which is a pretty ballsy line that everyone will assume you'll crash running unless you can prove you can make it 200 laps running it, as only Carlos Munoz seems to get away with. I think too many people think this is gonna be a walk in the park and easy for him to win, and I think the people who talk like that are a bit out of touch with Indy reality. Yeah he could win it, he's with arguably the best team to run the race with over the past half a decade or so, and certainly the best program for a rookie to be in. But this isn't an amateur race either, and everyone else put their knows what they're doing too.

He might even win, weirder things have happened. I'm both an F1 and IndyCar fan though, and people who just automatically bank this race are out of touch.

Fernando could win much more than 2 world titles in F1 if he had not made a series of mistaken decisions. He jumped out Ferrari when they started to run in front again, to go to an decadent McLaren. Fernando could. Can't wait to see him in Indy again.
