Not really, his first 2 were pretty lucky. He won the 2 that he didn’t deserve and lost the 2 that he did. It worked out evenly. There is the argument of course about the moves he made though. He could have won more titles but he just made bad decisions when he came to new teams to join.

It's a shame Kimi's time with Alonso was so bad. Kimi was struggling with the car as, although he's one of the greatest in the past 20 years, he can only do well in specific cars and the braking system along with some other factors of the car killed his time as Alonso's teamate.

[@McLarenMercedes]

@@jonasschiefer626 Certainly not with Lotus in 2012 and 2013. The modern era drive-frugally never suited an all-out driver like Kimi. Had we still had free tire choices and one engine per race we would still have drivers giving their everything at every race. This is where Kimi excelled. *Hence his 46 fastest laps, placing him 3rd on the all-time list behind Schumacher and Hamilton* . Uh yes, behind the two most successful drivers in F1 history. And he raced them both in their prime. Without having their cars... Raw speed spells lots of fastest laps. Before Hamilton won at Silverstone it was actually Kimi which held the all-time-record of longest span between the first and last win. He also held the all-time fastest Formula 1 qualifying lap at Monza in 2018. It's still the third fastest ever behind only the mighty 2020 Mercedes W11.

[@jonasschiefer626]

@@McLarenMercedes also in 2012 and 2013. People underestimate the car that Lotus had. An engineer said that they would have won the championship with Alonso in it, also challenging in 2013. Gorsjean was also quicker than Raikkonen, just more inconcsistent. Fastest Laps don't really say anything about the quality of driver espacially since he raced during times where it would bringt a point or not, during refueling or not so you can't compare that. I'm also not saying that he always had bad races, but just not on the level that would be expected from him. I'm not down playing what he did at Mclaren, that was good, but after that it went downhill. Frankly, had Schumacher stays for 07 and 08, he would have won both with races to spare

[@elijahprasad7884]

@@jonasschiefer626 You mean 2013 with Lotus? He was also great in 2017 and 2018 and outperformed Vettel in the 2nd half of 2018. If Ferrari made Kimi the #1 driver for 2018, he probably would have dominated the whole season just like he did in COTA that year.

[@sht4433]

great video but there's one mistake i want to point out is Renault actually finished 4th in the constructors with 80 pts in 2008, it was 1st Ferrari 2nd Mclaren 3rd BMW Sauber the top 3 in the constructors that year

[@Kinggrave]

Another small mistake. Nelson piquet jr got his podium at hockenheim, not silverstone

[@Jarvrally]

There was a lot of mistakes like that

[@dominicbarden4436]

Pleasantly surprised to see Stoffel Vandoorne ranked in the top half, but I'm not quite sure why he'd be ahead of Massa. His 2018 was pretty dire, but I don't think circumstances helped him there. I will however always maintain that he did a fairly decent job in 2017, all things considered, with Singapore and Malaysia the highlights. Nigel Stepney never joined McLaren in 2007, he was just very disillusioned at Ferrari. He was however friends with one of McLaren's senior engineers, Mike Coughlan, whom he handed over Ferrari's data to. Interestingly, even if McLaren hadn't been disqualified from the 2007 Constructors Championship due to Spygate, they still wouldn't have won it. After the qualifying debacle in Hungary McLaren weren't awarded any of the points they scored from that race, which cost them 15 points from Hamilton's win and Alonso's 4th place finish (the drivers kept their points). This meant that instead of McLaren winning the title with 218 points, Ferrari would've overhauled them at the final round in Brazil, 204 to 203. Interestingly as well, Renault were also caught up Spygate. They were found to be in possession of confidential information regarding McLaren's 2006 and 2007 cars. The claims were thought to centre around a Renault employee who took the information with him from McLaren when he switched to Renault. In a hearing in December Renault were found guilty of breaching Article 151c of the International Sporting Code, like McLaren, but unlike McLaren, weren't punished.

[@matthiascerebri3315]

You are completely correct- eventhough psychologically McLaren were in a disadvantage due to Spygate 😂

[@kenlykkeslett7501]

If that is correct, how come his start in 2010 was so strong?

[@Terabyte_MR]

​@@kenlykkeslett7501 well, we can make an assumption that massa at the beginning of the year could have pace because he was confident and without pressure to get in front of alonso in 2010 to give you an idea he led the championship after Australia and from then on he had his decline, in the first 3 races it could be that he didn't have pressure from himself or others about his performance in relation to Alonso and that's why he did well in the first 3 races.

[@kenlykkeslett7501]

@@Terabyte_MR That's pretty much my point though. Pressure is what hampered Massa, not his accident. Competing against Alonso was a completely different ballgame than driving alongside Raikkonen

[@Terabyte_MR]

@@kenlykkeslett7501 I have to agree

[@thomasohare8552]

​@@kenlykkeslett7501 I can confirm that Massa's poor run was actually my fault (this is a very sad joke). I drag drivers down by supporting them: Massa, Leclerc, Jari-Matti Latvala, Rob Collard, Will Stevens, Dani Pedrosa, Anthony Davidson, Kazuki Nakajima, Nick Heidfeld, Dan Cammish, (I watched 1 year of NASCAR on British TV and my guy Jeff Gordon didnt win a single race that year) - you name it I caused it. It runs in my family too, my dad was a John Watson fan. Only good result from a driver I've ever supported is Pascal Wehrlein in the Formula E - that's my entire racing luck for life done now. If you dislike a driver in particular, convince me to support them.

[@yarayaradaze]

In kimi's defense not only could he not adapt to V6 era of cars which he never completely did till retirement he hated the car which shows his weakness in adaptability whereas alonso is adaptable no matter the car hence was able to do much better than kimi. Kimi needs a specific car to be fast. People who worked with him have all agreed to that and that he is fastest when all things r right

[@ryanjonathanmartin3933]

Stepney never joined McLaren. In fact he basically left Formula One after 2007. He was implicated because he was the one who faxed the documents to Trudy Coughlan (Mike Coughlan's wife, Mike was Chief Designer at McL) presumably in an act of sabotage towards Ferrari. At the time Stepney had a terrible relationship with Jean Todt and felt he was being treated very badly by the top brass at Ferrari.

Well, tbf in Australia 01, that was the first time Marques drove the 2001 Minardi at all and the first time he drove an F1 car in general in years because he was there to warm up the seat for some pay driver needed (Alonso was "paid" in the sense that Briatore loaned him, same thing happened with Webber next year)

Great video but a couple of the points about the 2012 season aren’t right. The Japan incident was necessarily kimi’s fault, it’s a clear racing incident with both being at fault. Vettel also didn’t need to finish 6th in Brazil, he needed to finish 7th. If Schumacher hadn’t let him past, Vettel still would’ve won.

[@BehindTheCouchTV]

Makes no sense that JV is at the bottom. He outqualified Alonso once in 3 races after not having raced all year. Some Alonso teammates failed to outqualify him over a full season of races (he beat Vandoorne 26 times in a row, for example). JV fell back in the races, but began to match Alonso's pace by the third race. Lots of his other teammates never matched his race pace, or took a lot longer than 3 races to do so. And yes, JV scored no points for Renault in 3 races, but he would have scored twice if points had been awarded to 10th place like they are now. The mistake Renault made was hiring JV too late into the year. Given more time, him and Alonso would have been an excellent pairing.
