Dont want to say Alesi is a bad driver, nor do I want to say that I could do better, but in this case he missed probably a gear, so he was slowing down and the Lotus was so close behind him, he had little to no reaction time. When you see the onboards of Alesi, you see him struggle a few times with the gearbox. Again, dont want to say Alesi is a bad driver. Could have also been the gearbox itself that was not happy for some reason, like too hot oil temperature, or mechanical error.

[@jjracing4651]

My heart broke watching the end of this - but I'm still not convinced Werner took him out. For Jean to spin like that + the damage received on the Lotus' nose, something must have happened to the Ferrari. They were both accelerating, at this point a couple of seconds after the corner - the Ferrari also had more power as it was pulling away from the Lotus on the straight lap after lap. Did Jean's car breakdown, or did he miss a gear? There is no reason as to why the Lotus would suddenly close up at that point - and certainly didn't have the power to "load up" the Ferrari. They were racing very close - would love to see another angle.

If they're stuck 3 seconds behind then they're not fast enough to catch the car in front, at 3 seconds the slipstream is more valuable than the loss in downforce, that's why they have 2-3 second gaps when they tow at Monza/Spa for example.

I felt bad for both Alesi and Werner here. They were battling so hard for so long, and Alesi getting a bad exit meant Werner hitting him was all but inevitable considering how close they were up to that point of the race.

[@V8HiluxZX6R]

umm... he ran into the back of him about a third of the way down the straight.... Werner is a former pro... the ONLY excuse you can give Werner is his lack of experience in all things F1. But to say it was inevitable is a joke, there was ample time to pull out but he wanted to ride the slipstream and probably was not aware of where the tip of his nose was given (as prev mentioned) his lack of F1 experience and the fact the nose on that car is about 1mm off the floor.

@@V8HiluxZX6R This accident happened immediately after the final corner exit. End of. Now Werner has a very clean racing record he was never penalised in his career. So therefore you can't say he did this on purpose, it's not in him clearly. So why would he do it now. And for Alesi this sums up his F1 career. Full of promise and nothing to show for it. I firmly believe that Alesi missed a gear change that's why he was so slow out of the exit. There wasn't anyway Werner could avoid the accident. So that's why I feel sorry for him. If Werner wasn't there Alesi would of lost alot of time to Werner that lap. But because Werner was there rightly or wrongly he had to be penalised because Alesi wouldn't of crashed. But the only time we saw the official's penalise a driver for knocking off an opponent this weekend was this incident. Seems like politics could involved. Full of sympathy for both drivers and it feels wrong to say its Werner's fault therefore when other drivers on Sunday got away with it. And the way he acted confirmed that he felt he didn't do it on purpose. It was a nice touch that Lyons gave his winners trophy to Werner later.

[@V8HiluxZX6R]

Are you even watching the same video? Contact was made just prior to the start of the grid slots not on the exit of the corner... there was ample time for a driver of his calibre to move out the way...

I mean, I know the start/finish straight isn't really a straight but to say contact was made on corner exit...🤦‍♂️

[@1proplover]

@@V8HiluxZX6R I watched this thrilling battle live on tv - the Marco Werner JPS was nearly 2 seconds faster in qualifying than Jean Alessi's Ferrari however Jean blasted off at the start and took the lead at the 1st corner. Marco then spent 15 laps trying to pass Jean at every opportunity. Two of the better attempts were stopped by Jean placing his car in the right place, other Marco attempts were in places where it was impossible to pass and nearly hitting the Ferrari on several occasions - on one occasion he did hit the Ferrari. Marco appeared to get really desperate to pass Jean knowing he had a much faster car. I thought that he simply misjudged how fast he was gaining on the Ferrari as they left La Rasscase and his nose went under the Ferraris gearbox lifting the rear wheels causing them to spin up (black lines on the track) before the Ferrari slewed to the right and into the wall. I thought it was entirely Marco Werners fault and his "surprise" and being given a penalty for punting the leader off the track was amazing and then his attitude on the rostrum wasnt good. Lyons was that far behind I dont know how he thought that Marco was "the real winner". Gutted for Jean who hadnt driven that car before and was a class act.

@@Ali007572 Not exactly true. Most of the Historical GP week was literally spent trying to follow each other, while the rest of the field get blue flagged by the top 2 or 3 cars..something that's just as common in the hybrid era with the exception of maybe 2016 or these last 2 race weeks.

[@BB-rj7vb]

@@DrSabot-A Yeah right they always find a way to complain when this race was just a two horse race and Alesi was holding the Lotus back. The 80s race was also like that

[@shitoryu8]

It's amazing how fast these cars still are relative to the fastest non open wheel race cars of today.

[@ulliandree1129]

Pretty obvious to see that Alesi missed a shift (or had whatever problem out of the blue) - Marco was completely hit by surprise. No intention at all.

[@fortniteplayerios424]

Wrong he was rear hit. Maybe no intention but still...

[@ulliandree1129]

Fortnite Player iOS - I never said, Alesi wasn't rear hit. My point is: Throughout the entire race, Marco wasn't able to follow the Ferrari on the main straight due to a lack of Cosworth power vs the Ferrari 's prancing horses. So which afterburner could Marco have ignited to all of a sudden have that much excess speed? Alesi must have had a problem - technically or human mistake.

[@bizarrefruit9133]

@@ulliandree1129 What about the other two times Werner rear-ended Alesi in the same race?

[@gustavofigueiredo1798]

This somehow is more exiting than the actual GP. The smaller cars, great noises, overtaking.

[@SuperTaylor68]

Epic.. Alesi was always one of my favourite drivers.. super exciting to watch in his pomp ❤️👊

[@RickyReject]

He was, init? Shame about this incident...must be guttered. Does feel reminiscent of his Ferrari days, often battling cars faster than his 412T2...that V12 though...

[@jannadrielcervo7753]

As always, Alesi is unfortunate at Ferrari. Especially at Monaco.

[@PuRe_AdDicT]

Up to the impact, it sure was a beautiful thing to watch and listen to.

[@dgavio]

Jean did not miss any gear, and even told the press. The Lotus driver had already pushed him three more times ... even at the chicane after the tunnel ... Jean drove a great race ... heartily ... as always. Thanks Jean!

[@bizarrefruit9133]

Absolutely, the first two times he went up the back of Alesi weren't enough for him to learn to leave a little space. There was no need for it in a historic gp, I reckon he just had his ego on and wanted to beat Alesi who actually made it to F1 while he never could.

[@dgavio]

@@bizarrefruit9133 👍

[@Paolo_Pinkas747]

He didn´t miss a gear? So why is someone able to crash into a car on a straight line when he is going full speed? Right... this is impossible! If he didn´t had a misshift, he must have hit on the brakes. BTW: They wen´t racing. So you have to race a race, this is not a parade drive.

[@dgavio]

@@Paolo_Pinkas747 because he couldn't pass him on the straight, so he tried to stay behind and when changing gear, the Lotus slipped under the Ferrari... just look at the cameracar... and it had already happened two other times! also at the chicane after the tunnel

I wish to see more Historique races in the future; I love modern F1 but this is just fantastic!

More like "Alesi takes himself out by missing a gear and suddenly being impossibly slow in front of another car who tries to evade him but can't".

100%, couldn't have said it better. Great to see real racing in these things, always a risk. They'll fix it.

[@alouisschafer7212]

yeah that is the real story I watched the live coverage: The two had a talk after the race and yes Alesi missed a gear. No bad blood between the two drivers just an unfortunate incident.

[@ukfalcon85]

So a German rams a French man out of the way and you call it he takes himself out. Show you know nothing

[@j.j.schlachtfeld9325]

@@ukfalcon85 You either didn't watch it or are choosing to ignore the facts, as corroborated by both drivers. Also, their nationalities have nothing to do with the incident. But yeah, go off I suppose.

[@d3203]

@@ukfalcon85 Lmao you shouldnt say that they know nothing if you havent even watched the race. Alesi missed a gear. If you would have a license and not the drivingskill of the average american you would know what happens when you shift.

[@danko238]

Honestly, this just adds more history to the car

[@josephnus]

Looking these 70s F1 cars running through the tunnel bend, showed how much F1 cars have grown in size through the years. And also that Black-Gold JPS lotus is always very lovely 😍

[@civicleg]

Title of the video is a bit unfair!! Alesi money shifted, almost locking his rear tyres, you can see the rear of the car sit up under sudden deceleration. That and the black lines from sudden under-rotation of the rears. The Lotus had nowhere to go. I’d imagine the damage to that Ferrari didn’t stop at external stuff!

Alesi missing a gear and being tagged by the closing following Lotus of Werner is hardly being 'taken out', more a 'racing incident'. Was the inaccurate title 'click bait'? Great racing though!

This usut shows whats wrong with modern day F1. The cars are wayyyy to big.

They have to be big at least in the front for the crash structure. The width of the cars has been the same since the 90s. They have too much artificial length in the back though.

Nobody passed nobody during that race it was the same procession lol

[@robh9577]

1:09 Alesi took such a defensive line to block buddy sending it down the inside, he lost all his momentum for the last corner, and was substantially slower on the straightaway than the other guy who took the conventional line. And then he ran into him lol. He didnt realize how fast he was going to catch him.

[@mellilore]

I don't think Werner is that out of shape or foolish... my guess is Alesi missing a gearchange.

The commentator pronouncing Alesi’s name incorrectly is a little more than mildly annoying. It’s not like he isn’t one of the most famous racing drivers of his day.
