@@maverickm4802 Raikkonen clearly deserved it over Alonso. Kimi had a similar car, but 3 retirements from the lead, and three 10-place grid penalties, ALL OF WHICH he would have won. That's 6 races on the table guaranteed to go to Kimi. Montoya, Fisichella, Wurz, Michael and DeLaRosa were all similar. It was Kimi making the difference and being let down by horrendous reliability. Alonso lost to Trulli in 2004 and DID NOT deserve the 2005 title.

Talent, Alonso was my favourite driver and I hope he can get Alpine's first win, which would be fitting since he got Renault's last one in 2008 at Japan. They really should bring back that livery as well. 👌

[@weofnjieofing]

Alonso’s 2012 was his greatest ever, no mistakes in a vastly inferior car to the red bull. No one on the grid has driven a finer season with a car that uncompetitive.

[@CYMotorsport]

sebastian arguably was close in 2015

[@mateofrara]

@@CYMotorsport Really? He finished 103 points behind Lewis, in 2012 the Ferrari with luck was the third best car that season

[@mateofrara]

@@CYMotorsport But I have to admit Mercedes was very superior in 2015.

[@jamesshunt5123]

"Alonso’s 2012 was his greatest ever, no mistakes in a vastly inferior car to the red bull" If that Red Bull was so superior how come McLaren won as many races (7) and had as many poles (8) ? If the Red Bull was so superior how did 6 different constructors win races and 8 different drivers? Fact is Sauber nearly won in Malaysia with Perez and Force India nearly won with Hulkenberg in Brazil. This tells you that no car was really dominant and that they all stole points from each other. This is where reliability starts to play an important part. This is also why Ferrari finished 2nd in the point standings merely 60 points behind Red Bull and ahead of McLaren in 3rd. Did I tell you Mark Webber finished the 2012 championship in 6th? Sure that was a "dominant Red Bull" ? Massa finished 7th behind him. Hamilton and Bottas have finished 1-2 in both 2019 and 2020. They had a dominant Mercedes. Vettel and Webber most definitely did *not* have a dominant Red Bull in 2012. Webber would have finished 6th otherwise. Oh, and who was that finishing 3rd in the championship? Kimi Raikkonen in the Lotus. Well, that must mean he was a better driver than Hamilton since he finished ahead of him in the championship. Or maybe *reliability* worked better for Kimi than it did for Hamilton. Once you realize that things become a bit more clearer what reliability means. You see failing to finish spells zero points. When you know that Vettel commandingly led the Europan GP for the 33 first laps and retired with an alternator failure and Alonso inhered 25 points with Kimi's Lotus finishing 2nd and old man Schumacher finishing 3rd after Maldonado took Hamilton out with 2 laps to go. Grosjean was chasing down Alonso on the 40th laps in 2nd place when *his* alternator ended that threat. Vettel finishing (he would have won) this race alone makes him an easy 2012 champion and you wouldn't be talking today about how amazing Alonso's drive was in the "inferior Ferrari" - which somehow still finished 2nd and ahead of McLaren while Webber somehow ended up 6th with Massa 7th. Anybody will agree that 2012 was of the most evenly matched fields in F1 history - save for maybe 1982. In which Keke Rosberg *won* the title with a NA car lacking some 100-150hp on the turbo cars from Ferrari, Renault and Brabham and the rather revolutionary all carbon fiber monocoque McLaren MP4 driven by Niki Lauda and John Watson. " in a vastly inferior car to the red bull." The 2020 Ferrari was vastly inferior. The 2012 most certainly not. Webber finished 6th in 2012 and Massa 7th. That is all you need to know. Kimi finished ahead of Hamilton who was in a "vastly superior" McLaren. You don't mention reliability once. Not *once* .

[@mateofrara]

@@jamesshunt5123 You are right in almost everything, but we all agree that the best car that season was thr Mclaren at least until the mid season, from then the Red Bull started to be the best car. In the other hand the Ferrari was a very reability car, but it was slow af, in melbourne this car was 1,6 seconds off the fastest car(Mclaren), the only way Alonso could make a pole, was in the rain, and it was like that, Silverstone and Hockenheim proves it. Sebastian drove great, but not at the same level of Alonso, that's all.

[@BMPHF1]

In 2005, Alonso and Renault were more consistent than Raikkonen and McLaren. The Renault had better reliability compared to the McLaren which may have cost Kimi in the end, but “To finish first, first you have to finish”. Then in 2006, Alonso’s early season success gave him a cushion going into the second half when the TMD was outlawed. Schumacher was very unfortunate to get that engine blowout in Suzuka, but having said that, Fernando also retired for similar reasons in Monza where MSC won the race (and announced his retirement). Alonso fully deserved those back-to-back titles regardless of what others may claim. Top notch production as always Nick.

[@madjayax731]

I think why MS lost because he made more costed mistake than Alonso as Vettel did in his 2017-2018 tittle run.

Funny to think how Alonso won his 2 titles was done in a manner opposite of his post-2006 title fights: great reliability, top decision-making, no backroom politics (excluding mass dampers), coherent team-work, a consistently quick (if not always outright fastest) car, great tech development & surviving a late-season onslaught from Kimi & Schumi.

For me as F1 fan for nearly 40 years, there is not even a shadow of any doubt about the great talent of FERNANDO ALONSO THE GREAT!! If he hadn't been in McLaren (without the mail scandal, because McLaren discriminated him), he could be in Red-Bull which had Renault engines... He could be even in Mercedes after that to form the greatest Champion that ever was in F1! Even so he needed only 8 points to have 6 championships instead of 2. From shear talent pov he is the best driver and the most complete driver since Ayrton Senna! Maybe he isn't always the fastest in qualifying, but he is the greatest racer that ever was in F1!

Been waiting for this since you teased it! commenting then going to get popcorn and put it on in the HT!

[@CYMotorsport]

enjoy friend!

[@camofelix]

@@CYMotorsport Thanks! All the best from your fans up north!

[@ickeyshufflin1288]

Best F1 content on KZbin- well done!

[@RaianF1]

I've been waiting for this. Amazing analysis... Again! Great job bro, amazing content

[@CYMotorsport]

thanks man - its nice to have other content creators to chat with throughout these processes

[@ggtiago]

Saw that Café poster in the back! Shout out from Brazil!! Great content 😉

[@pauljones-tj5vs]

Great in-depth video. Just subscribed, looking forward to watching many more.

[@CYMotorsport]

welcome paul!

[@MegatronRacing237]

I love your videos dude!! Keep up the good work!

[@bannedcommander2932]

Alonso didn't ever dominate, he never had the car to do that. He did, however, fight consistently, out-drove and outlasted the opposition. Twice. That makes him better than Hamilton in my book.

[@Bahamuttiamat]

@BannedCommander So 07 didn't happen? They weren't teammates right?

[@manjmac]

@@Bahamuttiamat In 2007 Fernando and Lewis finished with 109 points. Both had issues with reliability and Fernando was stolen the points in Hungary because of McLaren. If Fernando have had the dominant cars Lewis had across all his carreer, he probably could have as much titles as Lewis now have. Lewis is a great driver and talent but for me Fernando is better.

[@bannedcommander2932]

@@Bahamuttiamat They had the same number of points that season, though it doesn't even matter in terms of comparative talent. Put prime Alonso into the W05 or later and he'd still win; put prime Hamilton into the R25/R26 and he'd lose every time.

[@Bahamuttiamat]

@@bannedcommander2932 LOL. Y'all sounding more and more desperate as time goes by. Believe what you want.

[@Bahamuttiamat]

@@manjmac That's fair. It's fine being opinionated and choosing one driver over the next. However, hungary was self inflicted, as was canada, fuji, spain etc etc. Fernando lost to the rookie in terms of exposure and speed. Hamilton was more consistent which was a big surprise.

[@123dan165]

Man I loved the era of Renault vs Williams Vs Ferrari Vs Maclaren truly an amazing time to be an F1 fan.

[@leezodeezo1173]

I never thought you will release this vid! Damn, I am so happy to finally get to see it 😊

[@CYMotorsport]

I knew at some point i'd have to revisit it! glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Sammyjeans1]

You’re the best f1 KZbind. Head and shoulders.

[@2blkSSs]

The CY video droughts are arguably harder to deal with than the off-season haha... love the videos and the documentary style. Having more, shorter videos would help with droughts, but I like me a good solid long video too. So whichever monetizes better for you I’m down with. Just keep it up!

[@CYMotorsport]

I got you. I do need to shorten them. that actually was the plan. but I promised alonso content and as you can guess, he can be a bit of a touchy subject haha. but I am def going to experiment with it. to be honest I'm fucking shit at short stuff - i feel like I'm wasting time but that's my insecurity, not reality

[@2blkSSs]

@@CYMotorsport well I enjoy the content you give me so just keep doing what you’re doing. Mark Rober only makes 12-15 videos a year and people watch him haha... (side note from another post) If you actually got Mattia on here I would buy the PPV! Haha

[@Druseth]

1:20, gotta love the hakkinen reference. “The Michael”

[@razerville]

Thanks for keeping us fan entertained during the off season. Btw nice custom keyboard 😬

[@CYMotorsport]

big keebs guy here!

[@confuzionn4843]

Your voiceover voice is so fricking nice to listen to. Good video.

[@fersis1234]

Amazing work as always. Props for such in deep videos !!

[@Faz1o]

your videos are god tier man thank you for all the effort you put into these

[@CYMotorsport]

so long as you are entertained Faz1o! glad you enjoyed

[@Faz1o]

@@CYMotorsport seriously man I've probably binged all your videos in the last week or 2 lol, so thank you!

[@2tomana7ue]

I always press like before watching videos on this channel. Good job again Nick!

[@forr0_]

10:34 I can't believe that no one is talking about this

[@Pullaka]

They are all a bunch of Wankers ;)

[@sublimed5155]

Tbh, It’s Senna, Hamilton, Schumacher, Fangio, Vettel, Clark, Mika, then Alonso.. ( Kimi is there too, behind prost)

[@tungatroll9117]

Been waiting for a video in a while, was kinda tired of watching old ones over and over ahahah

[@CYMotorsport]

I'll go quicker now that this bad boy is done. had to make sure it got done right - thanks for your patience Tunga!

[@Timothy71M]

16:48 was kinda expecting a mention of nick (heidfeld) seeing the image then it was nico (rosberg) instead ;p ...jokes aside great videos as always, definitely one of the better f1 analysis channels out there

[@CYMotorsport]

going a solid 12 videos strong including the Nico flames meme haha glad you enjoyed mate got a lot more on deck

[@turboflutter9325]

Mate you are unreal . content king

[@user-bm9cv9vn2k]

Ah yesssss!!! Finally it's here!!! Amazing

[@CYMotorsport]

I got you!

[@jimdiedrick8853]

I’m a big Alonso fan. He has his flaws but he ain’t Satan either. Since he left F1 he won the Rolex 24 at Daytona and he looked like a man among boys doing it. He won Le Mans and showed huge improvement through last year’s Dakar Rally. I’m going the minority opinion on that both he and the underrated Ocon are going to surprise lots of people this year.

[@SuperNerdWedgie]

i agree

[@Qsrjeiwjwj]

There he is, my favorite F1 youtuber.

[@CYMotorsport]

Try they will to get rid of me. Succeed they will not!

[@blakemorrison5232]

Hey mate, I really enjoy your analysis and insights. I do think your videos would benefit from less bass and a little more volume on your audio track. Keep up the good work!

[@CYMotorsport]

Thanks for the constructive criticism! Actually considering a whole new workflow for audio. I use a very very sensitive mic so it works great but at the same time any flaws or errors I have in the mixing are insanely obvious. I’m no professional audio engineer but come a long way haha this will be the next step. It’s good to hear that critique to remind myself it doesn’t matter it’s 10x better than 6 months ago, it’s still not to the level I want. Cheers mate

[@Orcawhale1]

Holy shit dude, you've improved so much! Delivery, and editing and so on! Excellent job, keep it up!

[@kolotheskalin1897]

nice work m8 I can't wait for the next one.

[@borissajonia-coburgo-gotha7589]

UNDERRATED channel

[@tamajayavariasi789]

Ah 2005, most farcical seasons ever, although 2006 is one of the best season that is overlook (Alonso hardest WDC title defense , Michael's charge at last round in Interlagos, Button First F1 win, and also some black moments, (rascasse corner incident). Forgot to mention Kimi's yacht's moment LOL

[@CYMotorsport]

haha tried to stay away from memes but that one was tough

[@md.shaonprinceshuvo5412]

Bro will never be matched... His ability to took war with just 4 wheels is insane... The top level of f1 driver can really achieve... The benchmark for last 20 years..

[@szabovlad9914]

Great video as always. Thank you! Btw, that turn in Canada is T4 not the wall of champions

[@TMGaming]

I'm addicted to these videos! Would love to see one for the 2018 season and Kimi Raikkonen!

[@CYMotorsport]

Haha well you may not like my take there :)

[@TMGaming]

@@CYMotorsport Oh god that felt like getting shot 😂
