Fernando Alonso onboard at Spa, 2007

Alonso onboard during race at Spa in the 2007 race.

[@loudogYYC]

Amazing lap by an amazing driver. I can watch Eau Rouge corners all day.

[@GM_FtblA]

1:31 look how responsive the front end is here. Amazing

[@Codywhite10]

If anyone thinks that this is illegal because he barely went out of the track. Please..go watch vettels India 2013 pole lap.

[@xavioloful]

grande grande,ya ls gustaria a los demas tener un piloto asi en su pais

[@Cristhianz6]

Alonso el mejor piloto de F1 q sonido del V8!!!!

[@victoralandi357]

Magic Alonso!!!!

[@markosoporto]

El sonido, que hermoso.

[@fliszynski]

all the drivers cut that corner,watch an onboard lap¡¡

[@soulpower9126]

Beast!

[@raymondu99]

@sdimm actually the regulations say that the kerns are NOT part of the racetrack. The white lines denote the edge of the racetrack.

[@spectre1209]

I would love to see this car in GT5 as a competitor to the F2007.

[@victornag5230]

lol same but I don’t rlly see it in games because it’s unfortunately known as the spy gate car

[@DUCATOADVENTURES]

30-35 sin sontarle el acelerador simplemente es el mejor alonso the ebest!!!!!

[@netaka111]

イギリスGPの予想オンボードでもそうですけど 縁石にタイヤ乗せるとき 本当にピッタリでコントロール技術の高さが凄すぎます！

me encanta el sonido del motor mercedes,

[@fliszynski]

a driver can´t see where is he going at eau rouge he turn on the corner when he thinks thar he has to turn,you can´t see the corner¡¡¡and if you watch a race at spa of f1 you can see that all drivers cut that corner,it´s normal

[@BballStarr3]

Ni una sola correcion de importancia en toda la vuelta. Fernando Alonso tambien sabe lo que es conducir un cochazo

[@dfdadude]

@sdimm Don't forget at the time they were the only ones with the inerter too.

[@GoatedAtNFS]

Damn good brakes I’ll take you that

[@jkommah]

@sdimm Nope, the curbs don't count as a part of the track, it's always the white line that matters (that is, at least one of the wheels have to stay inside of the white line). This lap would have been discarded in qualifying, however, drivers can get away with them in the race as long as they don't routiely do it.

[@BigDonJT]

Traction control sounds like the way those things speak to each other on district 9

[@ciaronsmith4995]

Jesus Christ this McLaren had a good front end. One of the best ever McLarens. Kimi would have put it on pole even in a McLaren.

[@martinmahmood2141]

Yeap. That's one of its key strengths. Superb front end mechanical grip that allowed it to dominate monaco, hungary or indy. But unfortunately it didn't quite have a good enough aero package to match the f2007 ferrari. Which was why kimi and massa were simply untouchable at fast cornering circuits like Spa or Interlagos

[@ajmalhussain3574]

I think Kimi would have been on his element in this car. Such a good front end and good mechanical grip.

[@noobednatherium4082]

Shame it slid itself into oblivion, and I don't mean that as a a joke

[@McLMP4-22]

@@noobednatherium4082”into the pits come Lewis Hamilton, HE GOES STRAIGHT OFF! Into the gravel trap can he keep the wheels spinning” it traumatised 6 year old me back in 2007 and it still hurts a lot now.

[@noobednatherium4082]

​@@McLMP4-22 it was even worse for Alonso as his style required zero rear end independence, and despite that he still nearly thrived with the car,

[@june372]

@MrJbfan2010 Actually this is during a race so it really doesn't matter...

[@kwl189]

You can really see the difference the grooved tyres made back then. Natural understeer and the front not really wanting to bite into the corner initially but once in sticks. Could have been the wings settings though being spa with the long straights but to be in the rev limiter not even half way down the straight in poor from the V8s. Should have stuck to the V10s with 21K revs. Damn you Bernie! Killing the enthusiasts fans.

[@F-Man]

Hey, I’m from the future. You should see what F1 looks like now…

[@kwl189]

@@F-Man sport was already dying from back then. Nobody liked the V8 switch from the V10s which came down from the V12 era.

[@Rtx9070ti]

​@@kwl189 at least v8 was bearable

[@kwl189]

@@Rtx9070ti true but it was still a step down from the V10s. But now, it’s bloody awful. I heard the cars in person. F2 cars sound better. Hell, the Porsche cup cars sound better than the current F1 cars.

[@DueGjoni]

Fernando Alonso Is Super Speed

[@fliszynski]

listen me,raikkonen yesterday cut that corner and he wasn´t penalized, so this has finished loool he was investigated but no penalized so why fernando would be penalized??

[@kynigh]

Did the completely slick tyres come back at 2008?

[@markmatrahegyi639]

2009

[@kwl189]

If it was the FIA would have put a message out to the whole grid for the event.

[@Crisofwar13]

si el sonido que tenia antes sin las limitaciones y demas sonaba muy bien, lastima que el sonido que tiene ahora no tiene nada que ver con el que tenia antes

[@victornag5230]

Now it sounds so much worse 😂 especially 2014

[@StevesSwearBox]

@blainyrules He definitely had all 4 wheels off the track.

[@cjkj06]

JB fan his right side tyres never left the track either

[@brzezio96]

@sdimm Actually kerbs aren't part of track

[@victorhtl123450]

Sempre quis correr igual aos corredores profissionais da fórmula 1 no meu vídeo game Mas sempre parece que aí e mais facil

[@joac21]

its illegal it BOTH tyres go outside the white line.....

[@HappyGamer_66]

Fucking sound engine

[@TheFuckingDestroy]

0'34 : small engine overspeed

[@StevesSwearBox]

@sdimm ahh yes that may be true, but in the official rules and regulations going over the white line is cutting the corner

[@koolsavasone]

@kynigh in 2009

[@blainy-o93]

@MrJbfan2010 Same, looks like all 4 wheels were over the white lines.

[@weslievanbeelen1]

no because everybody takes that kerb like that

[@tashriquekarriem8865]

When F1 was F1

[@TNTsundar]

@sdimm I guess the driver has to ensure keeping 2 wheels on the road to qualify for a legal time. Correct me if i am wrong.

[@raymondu99]

Actually the track is defined by the white lines. When you see people taking on kerbs on the apex/exit of corners; that's usually cutting a corner (if you want to get really technical with the rules)

[@StevesSwearBox]

i would deem this lap illegal as he went over the white line at 0:35

[@shakamaro2601]

Dis car did not suit alonso driving style but the Ferrari was so fast around here in especially kimi he was flying but alonso my goat forever

[@dazleeders]

im sorry but at 0:35 surely that's cheating, he's completely off the track

[@ciaronsmith4995]

He doesn't carry enough speed on entry at all. He always takes an aggressive tight line, but needs to slow down on corner entry to do so. He should look at some Kimi onboards to learn how to drive Spa.

[@noobednatherium4082]

Ok, still got four wins

[@F-Man]

2 time world champion right here - but okay.

[@Dolek135]

no one asked bozo
