Fernando Alonso's Overtaking Masterclass | 2021 Russian Grand Prix

He never lost it and I always believed that his ability would show after 2 years out💙 Even driving a midfield car he's been absolutely magic and hopefully some newer F1 fans who never saw Alonso with competitive machinery can gain a new appreciation of just why as an all round consistent racer he is one of the absolute all time greats

I remember early in the season when Ocon was consistantly beating him in qualy. I thought he may had lost his edge and when the fuzzy press asked him if he was worried about not being competitive enough he simply said: ‘No, I am not since I knew I would struggle after two years out, but I know I’ll be close to 100% after 5 or 6 races’. If hes not at 100% already this guy scares me.

While alonso, inherited a lucky 3rd place podium. And Brazil? Gearbox failure, sending him to the back of the Grand Prix, recovering to 7th, from what would’ve likely been a 4th or 3rd place finish. And who can forget China? Lewis again on for a 2nd place podium, but the team wasn’t assertive enough with him about his tyres, much like what happened to norris in Russia, so he lost grip and went off in the pit lane.

And obviously, he is the best making the most with the car he has (2010 and 2012 as examples. 2012 ferrari was for me NEAR to nowadays McLaren, and he managed to fight against a car 0'5-0'8s faster in qualifying).

Fernando Alonso is my idol brilliant overtakes second driver with most overtakes of 2021 only Sebastian Vettel has more Fernando Alonso is a phenomenal driver at age of 40 what a legend.

[@NiC0G17]

Still one of the best drivers in the field in my opinion. It's a shame that his car isn' that fast

[@vprix2000]

the sound of the engine and turbine... superb

[@coolkrishnan]

Others: I don't have any grip Alonso: I don't have any grip and I will overtake too

[@bobterry9062]

Fernando is one of the best race drivers ever, and a joy to watch.

[@nicolasboita4172]

This rookie has some amazing talent

[@santiagozorrilladesanmarti1141]

He's a monster, thank you Fernando for your magic, and hard work, let's get that podium, is getting closer!! Cheers!!

[@S_R2k]

Man I really hoped, that he gets the podium

[@spikerboy81]

I love how the rain make talent shine even more. I don’t like how the unpredictability of when makes strategy boil down to luck.

[@Aviationfan2022]

What a legend he is.

[@NJNANATE]

When I was younger this guy was my favorite driver, still is

[@cody95]

PLEASE give me one more Alonso win before he retires

[@josema294]

You will have one more championship. The third one. It's the plan.

[@hamzachiguer4630]

The way he controlled that car in the rain on medium tyres is just amazing!! I pray Alpine nail the 22 regs and we can see Nando winning and fighting for the championship

[@jacobsparks2720]

Alonso remains CLASS as always

[@nikosarestis7934]

his driving ability in the rain is incredible. he did an incredible solo with continuous overtaking towards better cars. I'm sorry his team did not invite him to the pits earlier. This guide is worth a lot. Alonso forever

[@JH-uh3cc]

Fernando has got the best mic quality out of all the drivers lol

Alonso proving he is the best driver on the grid

[@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133]

No he isn’t. Drivers like Hamilton and Verstappen or Russell and Norris are much better. He would barely make it to the Top 8.

[@coreyrod]

Best wheel to wheel racer but not the fastest. Max and ham and lec would never get outqualified by ocon

[@CharlieNBQ]

@@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133 We are still waiting for the evidence of seeing Hamilton shine with a car that is not 1-2 seconds superior to the rest. Wikipedia is not.

[@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133]

@@CharlieNBQ When did Alonso “shine” with a car that was 1 to 2 sec slower. Hungarian gp (was beaten by Ocon lol) and Dutch Gp were the only ones he “shone in” if you can call it that.

[@ArturoSM01]

@@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133 None of those drivers were out of F1 2 years. None of them are 40 years old. Just stop with the unjustified hate

[@Yin7094]

so impressive to overtake so cleanly in the wet, in an average car. hats off to alonso.

[@Il_Dutur]

This man is made of pure talent. They can say he's old, that he was able to keep Lewis back because Hungaroring is a Mickey Mouse track, whatever they want. The truth is that, at the moment, there are only two drivers that could have matched Fernando's prime: Lewis and Max.

[@georganatoly6646]

when experience meets talent, it's great to see an 'old' driver be just as exciting to watch as the young stars

[@josemiguelcisneros9759]

Que gran piloto es Fernando Alonso, sin un auto competitivo mira todo lo que hace. Sin duda alguna uno de los mejores pilotos de la historia de la formula 1.

[@zororosario]

What an exciting driver! Always attacking and pushing for the most out of his race 👋👍😊

[@V1p3r_spl]

Alonso doing Alonso things: Outperforming his car as always

[@venkatakrishnaiahpaladugu9133]

No he isn’t. He has the fifth fastest car and can’t get a podium when Vettel, Gasly and Russell did so in inferior machinery.
