MONZA 1997 ALESI UNDER PRESSURE

[@Erthling]

His driving and racing skills are tier 1 class. Just amazing to watch him drive the balls off any car, only to be plagued with bad luck... either mechanical, team or bad luck. Even just a week ago and 20 years after he retired from F1. he participated in the Monaco Historique 2021 race for the 1974-1977 category race and took the lead at the start (with the 2 year older Ferrari vs the Lotus that was about 2 seconds faster), only to be taken out 3 laps from the end. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goG6eWuGr62Ma80 Whats amazing is that he drove just as good as he did back in his F1 days! He qualified that Ferrari 1 second faster than Marco Werner did 2 years prior when he drove it as well.

Che macchine meravigliose..

[@FodyG]

Lost the win in Monza four times in a row. Mechanical failures in the Ferrari, and wrong pitstops in the Benetton 😥😥😥

[@Supersonic_racing]

Incredible luck! He was always spectacular at Monza and deserved one at least!

[@albertorodriguezfernandez5956]

Monza suited his racing style. Specially in 1994 and 1995 he should have won, but those years the reliability was crap. The car in 1995 particularly, if it had good reliability, would be clearly a title contender. He had a good cars for 1996 and 1997 for this GGPP but it was never the best car.

[@whatwhatwhat6074]

Bad luck in Monaco as well. Damon Hill was leading but his engine blew in the tunnel and Jean Alesi inherited the lead. The Benetton was usually very reliable but something failed on the car and he came into the pits and retired. Alesi should have won that race but instead it was Panis who won it.

​@@albertorodriguezfernandez5956clearly yes in 1995 if the Ferrari was reliable he would have fought for the championship. How many wins/podium he lost because of reliability in 1995.... Spain, Belgium, Italy, Japan... At least 30+ points more than his real total that's so sad

Really good drive for DC

[@chakko007]

The best days of F1. And rally. And...

[@albertorodriguezfernandez5956]

He was very fast in the qualy, but the car seemed a bit tamed in the race with fuel. I also believe that he chose to secure 6 points instead of risking 10. He did not have any contract at this point.

[@Phoenix1664]

No it was a slow Benetton pit stop that ruined this race. He would have given anything to win this in front of Italian crowd that loved him.

[@Supersonic_racing]

The pitstop put an end to his aspirations, but to be fair, Jean lost a lot of pace after 10/15 laps

[@TG-gn2vj]

@@Supersonic_racing Yeah I always wondered if he had some (small) mechanical problem. Didnt make much sense @ that moment.

[@maxmen_70]

Guardatevi Giappone 1995. La gara migliore di Jean Alesi. Aveva un ritmo infernale, senza quella uscita prima del traguardo avrebbe stravinto.

Ho creato un video dedicato a quel gp!

[@streptomagma]

If Alesi could win this race, in 1998 instead Sauber he could find a better team.

[@Supersonic_racing]

Im not sure what seats were still available for him

[@streptomagma]

@@Supersonic_racing Maybe Jordan, instead of Hill?

[@Supersonic_racing]

That would have been very interesting, especially considering how strong the 99 car was..!

[@streptomagma]

@@Supersonic_racing Eddie Jordan never been an Alesi fan. Nevertheless, instead of Salo in 1999, Ferrari also could promote him from Sauber during absence of MS. All of this kind past events says clearly, Alesi did not receive a fair response neither from the teams of he "adored", nor his so called "friends".

[@Phoenix1664]

He could've gone back to Ferrari but he didn't want to be number 2 to Schumacher. Mistake if you ask me.

The biggest surprise is how Alesi managed to stay in F1 for 10 years with his constant mistakes...

[@andrewally3570]

Not his mistakes... His crew. He was a top class driver

[@harlyslamm2888]

@@andrewally3570 I suppose it was his crew's mistake Alesi ran out of fuel in Melbourne 97
