Fernando Alonso: The Story So Far | Rise of the Rookie presented by Aramco

[@Danielsanchez-ub9uy]

What Alonso did in the 2012 season was unbelievable and will forever be remembered as one of the best championship season a driver has done without getting that title. He was a beast with a car that was no where near being a championship contender.

[@systemkillerinner3]

Probably is the "imposible" repeat season with this car can fight the title. In my opinion is the best driver season in F1 history

[@dani_dlr0079]

2 times world champion, 3 times runner-up, 3 times losing the championship by less than 4 points and never with a dominant car. He needed to go to WEC to found a dominant car, where he won everything. To those who says he complained a lot in his final years, I would like to see you if a team promises you to fight for the championship and you and your teammate (world champion too) end the season with 11 and 15 points. I would like to add that in his final F1 year, he did a 21-0 in qualyfing vs a second F1 year Vandoorne, which was the champion with most points gap to 2nd in the history of F2. You can think he is better or worse than other multiple champions, but you can't deny he outperformed the car in his whole career.

That 2012 performance will always be his best season for me. The fact he dragged that car to within 3 points of the championship was incredible.

[@gorkab8461]

He was taken out in the first corner both at Spa and Suzuka... it would have been an epic championship win. But the main thing is, his relationship with Ferrari would have blossomed, and he would have won again in 2017 and 2018. It's always such a pity when a potential is unfulfilled, but still, what a great career and what a character!

[@thealiagator111]

@@kj48tiger I understand why they say it, though: perhaps Alonso couldn't bring a team to be around him or be at the best team, but what he did in most seasons shows the amount of skill he had (and perhaps still has). The fact that he found unexpected success in other motorsport competitions only reinforces this fact. Hamilton and Fernando in the Mercedes would've (obviously) been untenable, but it would've probably been the best same-team rivalry since Senna and Prost (and perhaps even of all time). Hamilton is great, no one can deny that, but I do share the opinion that skill-wise, Fernando is among the best to ever do it and ahead of Lewis.

[@valle3452]

@@thealiagator111 I read that a lot, from all his many detractors, about the team around him, but very few drivers have ever found themselves in long-term dominating teams like Hamilton, Vettel, Schumacher. It just doesn't happen often. Few teams have gelled so well and stayed at the top for those kinds of spells, we all know it's not easy to do. But, all these guys shone very brightly even as rookies, and I think that's how you are sure they are special talents, as that quote from Stoddart @0:38 mentions. These few are all living legends in my book, and Max these days shows the same kind of skill to basically always get 110% of what their car can do. I do rate Alonso very highly, a beast at the wheel day in, day out. But Lauda picked Hamilton for a reason. And the fact that Hamilton finished level on points with Alonso in 2007 on his rookie season tips the balance a bit, but I am more a fan of Alonso still. Go figure. I read somewhere that at some point before Vettel jumped from Toro-Rosso to RBR they were considering Alonso to partner with Webber. If that would have actually happened, who knows how many more titles he would have taken and how differently the world would look at him now.

As everyone has already said, his 2012 season was the best performance I had seen of any driver (regardless if he won the championship or not). Alonso never put a foot wrong all season long. He took mediocre cars that had no business winning and almost won the championship with them. It's no wonder that F1 team bosses named him 'Driver of the Year for 2012' (and 2010) despite Vettel winning the title. Alonso is just that rare mix of intelligence, aggression, confidence, charisma, and talent. His post-F1 career showed that he could switch racing formats seamlessly. He was stunning at LeMans, Daytona (it was like seeing a master at work in terrible rain despite the fact that it was only his second race at Daytona) and he even tried out rally coming in at 13th overall in the grueling Dakar Rally. This man deserved 3, 4, 5 titles to his name. Two just doesn't do his talent justice. So welcome back, Fernando and here's hoping Alpine delivers a car worthy of your talent.

[@vyasponnuri3375]

He was the first driver I supported, when I started watching F1, when he was driving for Ferrari. Whichever car he drove, he gave it everything, taking his cars to places where it wouldn't be supposed to be. Can't wait for him to come back

I agree, I think F1 should go back to SA

[@TheDiasporaMedia]

@Javier Gorostidi-Turner Too small. Its currently FIA grade 2. Would require significant upgrades which no one is willing to pay for over here (African F1 fan over here).... there is simply no local promotor in SA who is willing to do it and the current track owners don't want to invest in the upgrades either. Sadly I can tell you categorically as a African motorsports fan that track aint coming back.

Sometimes i think, that maybe if he had stayed with ferrari for a few more seasons like 2017 or 2018 he finally scored his deserved 3rd Championship, i feel nostalgic when i think on it but then i feel happy when i remember that he's the only one who makes me remember the 2000's f1

If Vettel couldn’t do it, Alonso couldn’t have. Ferrari were still just poor

[@adrianbermudez3314]

In normal conditions this guy should have at least 5 WC.

[@jamsbong]

This is a great summary video. Alonso is one champion who could have had way more than two championships. Despite all the opportunities to be in the best teams throughout his career, somehow things just did not work out for him. I wonder why...

[@kingtungstenworldwide4472]

A true champion. There something to be said of true champions who have been through tough competitions at all levels, teaching them adversity, adaptation, conflict, and how to perform better. The same can be said of Vettel, Hamilton, Kimi, Mika, Schumi, etc......unfortunately Max didnt have this diversity and was rushed into F1 too early.

The only driver to have beaten Hamilton with the same car. Just that, only Alonso has been able to beat Hamilton. With Alonso at the same team, Hamilton didnt get 7 World Tittles, maybe 2 or 3 max. Doesn't matter he only got 2 WC, he's on Top 5 drivers of F1 history.
