Goddamn didn't actually realise that. Even when correcting his mistake, he didn't hesitate or anything, just continued pushing the lap. Still got it at 40 years old. This is why I personally rate him the greatest of this century (Jim Clark for previous).
Renault's BSHP (Brake Shape) is the same as Mercedes's BMIG (Brake Migration). Ferrari also calls it Brake Shape and here's Carlos' explanation on what it does: ua-cam.com/video/F06VFDc6T-E/v-deo.html 1) 01:17 DRS was activated after the DRS line, but Alonso thought it wasn't, so he pressed the DRS paddle again, and that actually closed the DRS. He instantly realized it and pressed a 3rd time and DRS was re-opened, and then he checked left mirror to see if it's indeed open. This could also be seen on the DRS indicator on telemetry. All these happened in a blink of an eye, that's why I had to slow it down to 0.5x speed. 2) 02:22 Alonso correcting torque setting while going 280km/h through T12 fighting G-force.

Aside from your video content being superb, your knowledge of the technical side of F1 is also really impressive and rare to comeby in the drive to survive era! Out of interest, do you know how much up on his first Q3 run he was?
Given there's been discussion in the main F1 programmes about how the cars learn their position on track and adjust some parameters accordingly, is it not possible that some of the teams' cars display automated engine/diff/bbal settings whereas other teams' cars don't? I know some active mechanical systems have been banned since FW14B days, but there seems to be a lot of dynamic map adjust stuff happening with these modern cars. I also know most wheels have buttons and rotaries on the back of the wheels, but I'd genuinely be (pleasantly) surprised if the drivers were performing _all_ of these setting corrections manually. Have there been any other analysis videos published by other F1 broadcasters or UA-camrs which give more insight into what extent the cars can currently adjust their own settings through the course of a lap?
@@ChristopherWoods cars are not allowed to adjust settings remotely or autonomously, all setings need to be managed by the drivers, its impressive all the dials and levers they are tuning, all while also driving the car at its limits.
😆 These guys are very busy these days. It takes so much mental concentration and awareness to extract a fast lap. F1 drivers are incredible athletes. Great video
Gentlemen, a short view back to the past. Thirty years ago, Niki Lauda told us: "Take a trained monkey, place him into the cockpit and he is able to drive the car." Thirty years later Sebastian told us: "I had to start my car like a computer. It's very complicated." And Nico Rosbeg said, err, he pressed during the race, I don't remember what race, the wrong button on the wheel. Question for you to both. Is formula 1 driving today too complicated with 20 and more buttons on the wheel, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future, concerning technical program, errrm, during the race? Less buttons, more? Or less and more comunication with your engineers.
Idk about that. Unless he has a dominant car, like the 2020 merc, it would be a lot harder for him now than 10 years ago. His rival would most likely be more than 10 years younger. The age gap would play quite a big role Handling the pressure after all of these years outside the championship run it's harder, and i'm also not sure he would be able to drive at 110% in every weekend
I find it spectacularly funny there actually is a machine that could enable that.

Alonso age 42 still performing like he is 22. His records dont show what level of driver he truly is. The moment he got the car this year, he showed us what he still i capable of.
Great video, thank you so much! There's one thing that I don't understand: what did Fernando do with the DRS? The DRS was already open, why had he pressed again the paddle?
F1 rule, in a nutshell, states you can’t hold down the button or press the drs button repeatedly before drs line. The Alpine wheel could possibly be designed in such a way you need to disengage before enabling again, could be to eliminate accidental DRS openings etc (or maybe that’s required by the regulations as well, a small detail that normal fans wouldn’t know probably). Wheel design would vary from to team to team as it’s designed by each team, including all software running the wheel and car as well.
He merely seemed to try activating too hastily before the green lights had turned on. I've also accidentally activated DRS quickly, which forced me to re-press my assigned controller button.
@@raymax1912 i saw an interview with lando norris and george russell a few months back. they were comparing their drs mechanisms. and you're 100% correct ser. as you well know lol.
This is a great video. However, to make driver's lives easier, the teams set up macros on the car settings. So sometimes, a flick of a single button can change 2-3 settings depending on the corners. It just baffles the mind how much these guys have to do during just a single lap.
The amount of effort, dedication, talent, just awes me for the channel your size. I expect this kind of stuff from a channel from 1M+ subscribers. Either you’re really, really good, or I have low standards…
I play NFS Most Wanted a lot, and what I’ll often do is at the start of the race, I’ll go into the performance tuning and change the settings to favor low end acceleration massively. Then once I’ve blasted away from the competition I’ll go back into the performance tuning and return all the settings to neutral for the rest of the race. This is like that, but on steroids
Alonso is one of the drivers that the sensations that the steering wheel gives give him a lot of help when taking the curves and what type of configuration he has to use when entering the curve in the middle of the curve and when leaving the curve
The only realistic way he can do this is just because he is relaxed at those sort of speeds, alonso is a legend of the sport and has been doing this for years so this is probably a lot easier for him to do than it would a normal mortal being.
Easily one of the greatest drivers of all time! But I find it disappointing that with greater technology the cars are actually harder to drive, seems counterproductive.
they have a buton "next setting" so they can program a cycle before and you just have to pess one button to adjust many setting :) it was told by alpha romeo ingeener on canal + :)
There will be a time Alonso is not racing. I started my F1 Fandom despising him beating Schumacher in 06 to loving every second of what he does in an F1 car. In my opinion, he is the most gifted racing driver I have ever seen. So clean, so electric to watch. Intense is his actual summary of him. What a LEGEND!
I find it very hard to make mid corner oder even pre corner adjustmants when playing Gran Turismo without compromising the corner. In fact, I only do it on straights and even then my corner gets compromised. And he's doing it in a real life F1 car while driving 250kmh and experiencing 4 Gs, this is incredible But on the other hand, I mean he is Fernando Alonso
Crazy to think that mid-2022, Alpine had doubts on Alonso's abilities for the next couple of years and wouldn't offer him an easy extension. He is now only 7 points behind Ocon, and will likely out score him this year. And the car is only getting better, it seems. Not sure Aston Martin will be as close to the sharp end of the mid-field any time soon as Alpine seems to be headed. How awesome it would be if he gets a decent F1 car at least one more year before he hangs that helmet.
how can you tell he went slower because of how many changes he made? Sometimes you're just slower because of steering or trottle/breaking input. Sometimes you're just slower because if you compare two laps, 1 has to be slower than the other
Not sure if you are aware of it but there are some settings that can be programmed by the engineers so that it changes some of the settings automatically. Not all of them, but at some points he didn't even touched any button while changes were made. In an older paddock video they have talked about automation of certain settings for a brief second but sadly never went in to detail about how much in fact is automated. Still tho, frantic qualy
Not to kill the enthusiasm but all these settings can be automated using gps coordinates. Same as GT3s engine maps to sandbag for BoP management, for instance.
Exactly, its pretty intense driving a fast go cart in the high speed corners, all you have is brake and throttle. I can't imagine being able to manage that kind of work load on the steering wheel at the same time as driving at the absolute limit.
Bro Alonso was good and all but what about this NEXT LEVEL AWESOME CONTENT THOUGH!!!! Loved it mate can't wait for the next one. Can You show Mercedes DAS effect on a quali lap like this? I think that system was genius and overlooked.
1) He didn't mis-press the DRS paddle. He pressed it too early. 2) He didn't check his mirror for DRS - he has this info on the LEDs (single LED when DRS available, 5 x LEDs when avail but not active 3) The settings in a quali lap will also be sequentially selected through a single toggle. 4)The changes that you've assumed are being made mid corner are not actually happening mid corner.. The button press makes multiple changes which display on the screen one by one 5) The settings in a quali lap will also be sequentially selected through a single toggle. 6) The TRQ change between the 2 corners was not a mistake. It's simply the torque value that was needed for each corner ... He only made one change that wasn't via the single press which was via the right hand thumb dial
1) His 1st pressing already opened the DRS. He mistook that he pressed too early and it wasn't open, so he pressed a 2nd time, but this closed the DRS. He had to press it a 3rd time to re-open it. The 2nd pressing was the mis-pressing. Telemetry also confirmed this. 2) Yes drivers can tell from the LEDs, that's how Alonso realized his 2nd pressing closed the DRS and he needed to press it a 3rd time. He checked the mirror simply to confirm, because with this unusual sequence - open/close/open, it's better to see for himself. 3) F1 Toggle only works in binary (through all the onboards I've seen over these years), meaning you can't control more than two sets of changes via one toggle. The only possible scenario for toggle switch in this case was the ones through T5-T7. 4) TRQ 6 was a mistake simply because TRQ is used for corner exist and he was going flatout through that section.
@@yelistener not correct. The buttons can cycle through pages settings etc.. That's why the +10 and -10 buttons can continuously be pressed to increase a number for example. The torque setting through the corner is how he wanted the torque to be deployed. Less torque in part 1 of the corner to hold the line and more torque around the second apex to give him power out. You've made a lot of assumptions in a lot of your videos... They are great videos, but you should make sure you arent inflating the facts. He's not changing settings mid corner like you say.
@@yelistener take a look at the drs lights... The 5 green LED's are lit after he tries to activate drs the first time. We can tell that drs open his only the single led because that is all that is illuminated for the remainder of the straight.
@@ryanokeefe12 +10 or -1 buttons works in exactly the way they are, increase value by 10 or decrease by 1, nothing more. The toggles are different, they change a group of settings with one pressing, and they're in binary because each toggle only contains two groups of settings. For example, press once that's group A, press twice that's group B, press 3rd time that's group A again. This is the same for all teams. Torque is for corner exist when you're partial throttle and that translated your gas pedal input to a more preferable output. Unless F1 teams come out and share all these informations (which they wont), all we can do is to make assumptions. But those are not wild assumptions, those are based on all the available information we normal audience can get over the years.
Wow, i love your channel & your video.. because i love F1, anything all about F1. I love F1 data telemetry!!!!!!!!! Knowledge about F1 is here!!!!!! On your UA-cam channel, thank youuuuu!!!! 🥰😍😘👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
those settings are in sequential order, preprogrammed. he is not turning knobs or anything. maybe its even preprogrammed after certain gearchanges....maybe he is hitting a button to load the next preprogrammed settings
Perfect example of why a modern F1 driver could get into a car from the past and drive it but a driver from the past couldn’t get into a modern car and drive it. That’s before you factor in things like g force on the neck.

can't imagine correcting your settings in the middle of that triple apex corner
It’s my local track and that triple apex is my favorite section. The first two are very fast and quiet generous but the trick here is that the 3rd one looks similar until you’re mid corner and you realize it’s actually tighter.

Meanwhile i play racing simulation games in automatic
The only realistic way he can do this is just because he is relaxed at those sort of speeds, alonso is a legend of the sport and has been doing this for years so this is probably a lot easier for him to do than it would a normal mortal being.
Another great video by you, awesome. Keep up the good work.
Easily one of the greatest drivers of all time! But I find it disappointing that with greater technology the cars are actually harder to drive, seems counterproductive.
they have a buton "next setting" so they can program a cycle before and you just have to pess one button to adjust many setting :)
it was told by alpha romeo ingeener on canal + :)
There will be a time Alonso is not racing. I started my F1 Fandom despising him beating Schumacher in 06 to loving every second of what he does in an F1 car. In my opinion, he is the most gifted racing driver I have ever seen. So clean, so electric to watch. Intense is his actual summary of him. What a LEGEND!
Alonso is too good man. If Alpine get that car right next year and can challenge, you know he'll take it. They're going in the right direction too
alpine in 2021 hands down best sounding car
Don't forget that he was also reading the race while fighting for P3.
Fantastic quality video
Alonso is a God
Only people I’ve seen who do this is Alonso and Hamilton, Alonso does it way more but both of them are experienced enough to do this
I find it very hard to make mid corner oder even pre corner adjustmants when playing Gran Turismo without compromising the corner.
In fact, I only do it on straights and even then my corner gets compromised.
And he's doing it in a real life F1 car while driving 250kmh and experiencing 4 Gs, this is incredible
But on the other hand, I mean he is Fernando Alonso
He's the one who deserve the title smooth operator, imo.
Prop on the video man well made and very interesting!!
Crazy to think that mid-2022, Alpine had doubts on Alonso's abilities for the next couple of years and wouldn't offer him an easy extension. He is now only 7 points behind Ocon, and will likely out score him this year. And the car is only getting better, it seems.
Not sure Aston Martin will be as close to the sharp end of the mid-field any time soon as Alpine seems to be headed.
How awesome it would be if he gets a decent F1 car at least one more year before he hangs that helmet.
Fernando being a Chad and changing settings mid corner, realizing his mistake, correcting the mistake all in the apex of the corner
Now that's what the difference is between us and them
Nice video mate, That lap was well worth a recap for sure
This is why Alonso will always be a legend of f1
It was probably too much even for Fernando, because he was a lot slower on that run than before.
how can you tell he went slower because of how many changes he made? Sometimes you're just slower because of steering or trottle/breaking input. Sometimes you're just slower because if you compare two laps, 1 has to be slower than the other
Thanks for your work!
One the best F1 videos ever
Can't button my shirt leaving the driveway and here they are.
Very interesting and informative video ! I really enjoyed watching it ! Thanks !
Just insane at those speeds & G's
Not sure if you are aware of it but there are some settings that can be programmed by the engineers so that it changes some of the settings automatically.
Not all of them, but at some points he didn't even touched any button while changes were made.
In an older paddock video they have talked about automation of certain settings for a brief second but sadly never went in to detail about how much in fact is automated.
Still tho, frantic qualy
Great video
@@Joshayne do you have the link?
@@igna0101 paste it in a chinese video website started with "b"
@@Joshayne i saw it, it's the same, but how does he edits all the text? Can it be done?
@@igna0101 Well, have you considered the possibility that me and the user on that Chinese site are the same person?
@@yelistener yes, thats what i was thinking
Not to kill the enthusiasm but all these settings can be automated using gps coordinates. Same as GT3s engine maps to sandbag for BoP management, for instance.
this is what it feels like playing dark souls irl f1 racing edition
Imagine keeping track of 7 variables on top of actually driving a 5G machine. Super impressive.
Exactly, its pretty intense driving a fast go cart in the high speed corners, all you have is brake and throttle. I can't imagine being able to manage that kind of work load on the steering wheel at the same time as driving at the absolute limit.
What a well put together video! great job
This really makes me think about a short view back to the past
If there’s one driver to get the absolute most out of any car in any conditions, it’s Alonso.
gentlemen, thirty years ago....
gentlemen, a short view back to the past...
That Renault engine sounds beautiful
Alonso : above 250 kph, in corner, change settings
Me : 60kph, afraid to change my aircon settings 😂
Meanwhile I'm qualifying in the F1 23 game: "That was a great corner. Wow, look at that delt-" *crashes into wall*
Bro Alonso was good and all but what about this NEXT LEVEL AWESOME CONTENT THOUGH!!!! Loved it mate can't wait for the next one. Can You show Mercedes DAS effect on a quali lap like this? I think that system was genius and overlooked.
the guy is 40 odd and just about to enter his prime
1) He didn't mis-press the DRS paddle. He pressed it too early. 2) He didn't check his mirror for DRS - he has this info on the LEDs (single LED when DRS available, 5 x LEDs when avail but not active 3) The settings in a quali lap will also be sequentially selected through a single toggle. 4)The changes that you've assumed are being made mid corner are not actually happening mid corner.. The button press makes multiple changes which display on the screen one by one 5) The settings in a quali lap will also be sequentially selected through a single toggle. 6) The TRQ change between the 2 corners was not a mistake. It's simply the torque value that was needed for each corner ... He only made one change that wasn't via the single press which was via the right hand thumb dial
1) His 1st pressing already opened the DRS. He mistook that he pressed too early and it wasn't open, so he pressed a 2nd time, but this closed the DRS. He had to press it a 3rd time to re-open it. The 2nd pressing was the mis-pressing. Telemetry also confirmed this.
2) Yes drivers can tell from the LEDs, that's how Alonso realized his 2nd pressing closed the DRS and he needed to press it a 3rd time. He checked the mirror simply to confirm, because with this unusual sequence - open/close/open, it's better to see for himself.
3) F1 Toggle only works in binary (through all the onboards I've seen over these years), meaning you can't control more than two sets of changes via one toggle. The only possible scenario for toggle switch in this case was the ones through T5-T7.
4) TRQ 6 was a mistake simply because TRQ is used for corner exist and he was going flatout through that section.
@@yelistener not correct.
The buttons can cycle through pages settings etc.. That's why the +10 and -10 buttons can continuously be pressed to increase a number for example.
The torque setting through the corner is how he wanted the torque to be deployed. Less torque in part 1 of the corner to hold the line and more torque around the second apex to give him power out.
You've made a lot of assumptions in a lot of your videos... They are great videos, but you should make sure you arent inflating the facts.
He's not changing settings mid corner like you say.
@@yelistener take a look at the drs lights... The 5 green LED's are lit after he tries to activate drs the first time. We can tell that drs open his only the single led because that is all that is illuminated for the remainder of the straight.
@@ryanokeefe12 +10 or -1 buttons works in exactly the way they are, increase value by 10 or decrease by 1, nothing more. The toggles are different, they change a group of settings with one pressing, and they're in binary because each toggle only contains two groups of settings. For example, press once that's group A, press twice that's group B, press 3rd time that's group A again. This is the same for all teams.
Torque is for corner exist when you're partial throttle and that translated your gas pedal input to a more preferable output.
Unless F1 teams come out and share all these informations (which they wont), all we can do is to make assumptions. But those are not wild assumptions, those are based on all the available information we normal audience can get over the years.
@@ryanokeefe12 I've explained the DRS thing as clearly as I can. No need for me to continue that. I think you need to recheck that part.
Gentlemen, a short view back to the past...
I miss this alpine sound already
i wouldn’t be shocked of he starts playing games on that screen middle of the race 😂😂
THATS WHY HE’S THE GOATT
"Held by Palmer"
Wow, i love your channel & your video.. because i love F1, anything all about F1. I love F1 data telemetry!!!!!!!!! Knowledge about F1 is here!!!!!! On your UA-cam channel, thank youuuuu!!!! 🥰😍😘👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a race driver this guy
Very informative video 👏👏👍
It is sooooooooooooooo good thank you for the video
keep doing this!
Tuning your car into a corner while downshifting is unreal.
Replayed it almost 20x
Isn’t that what every F1 driver does at every braking zone? 😂
Meanwhile, Mazepin: "I cannot do it, you are having a laugh!"
those settings are in sequential order, preprogrammed. he is not turning knobs or anything. maybe its even preprogrammed after certain gearchanges....maybe he is hitting a button to load the next preprogrammed settings
Perfect example of why a modern F1 driver could get into a car from the past and drive it but a driver from the past couldn’t get into a modern car and drive it. That’s before you factor in things like g force on the neck.
Sameer : breaks car ..
Alonso : programs steering wheel at 300kmph
followed your bilibili, keep up your work
