So Goddamn true, Alonso is a phenom for the ages, for those who only look at numbers will never understand how great this man is, and many will argue he still near his prime, which just proves. Fernando Alonso is a freak of nature.
I recently found out that the correct word to use is envious, not jealous. Envy is when you desire something someone else has. Jealousy is when you are worried about losing something you have to someone else. No hate! I just thought I'd mention it because it stands out to me now. I just recently found this out myself and found it interesting that I've been using it wrong my whole life.
Fernando came across as completely relaxed and amenable , he is obviously supremely talented , great video as always James , I love all your footage on both channels , fab work by the team
Mr. James Walker you are a hidden treasure on UA-cam. Once you break 1 mil subs your algorithm is going to explode exponentially. Thank you for your sacrifice, hardwork, and dedication. Also thank you to Mrs. JWW for supporting your dream. ❤️✝️🙏
Firstly how cool hanging out with him all day. Genuinely in the presence of a true g.o.a.t and legend in double world champion F1 driver Fernando Alonso. So skilled, so gifted, so talented. And an immensely down to earth guy. So cool you got to passenger lap with him and have a discussion with such an accomplished guy. Super humble and down to earth. Thanks for sharing this unbelievable opportunity you had with us.
Fernando always came across as a guy. Who was always questioning his mid-life crisis, even as a young man. Nice to get an insight into the guy. Nice guy. Beautiful car.
The thing about Fernando Alonso is, exactly like Max Verstappen when he is not driving F1, his favorite off time activity is more driving. I expect when Max retires from F1 He’ll emulate Fernando and do a lot of the same things. Fernando did in terms of racing in all sorts of other motorsport series (IMSA, WEC, rallying) and winning virtually everywhere he drives. Only Fernando has really done that among F1 drivers.
I shot a commercial for Porsche in 2011 (Porsche wanted a real owner and the campaign was called “Porsche. Engineered for Magic Every Day”). It took 3 hours to film my solo commercial which was 15 seconds long. It gave me a new appreciation of how much time and effort goes into short commercials.
What a great video. A once in a lifetime for you I’m sure spending quality time with an F1 driver, much less a champion! I’ve met 6 of the current grid and gotten photos, but you don’t get to talk to them without spending HUGE money. Thanks for capturing this James.
Mr JWW Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's absolutey incredible that you got to spend the day with Fernando Alonso at Circuit du Var and got see and share the Behind the scenes of his commercial
On the v8/10 topic. They might have been slower back then but the v10 would probably be quicker on current tires. Ralf Schumacher did a few Laps last year in Austria. With the v10 on modern tires he would have made it to Q3. Given that he's way past his prime and the car was probably detuned a bit, I reckon those cars would actually be quicker.

Brilliant broadcast James. Especially ending with the spot.
The creativity that people put into photo and video shoots is always amazing to me. While this was "work" for Alonso, it sure seems like a nice way to make a living. I highly doubt on his days off he'd want to be asked the same questions he's been asked 100 or a thousand times. That said he seemed very gracious with his answers. Alonso's had an amazing career starting with Mindardi to become a two time world champion. I never thought he'd be back in F1 after he left and he just may get an opportunity to start fighting for wins again if Adrian can work his magic at Aston. I hope that happens - the more at the front the better IMO.
Great video, excellent story telling. The collab we didn't know we needed - hope to see you two together. Roll on 1 million subs James, congratulations on your overdue rise.
Amazing! I am continuously blown away by the events you get invited to and love that you bring us along for the adventure. Can't wait to see what's next!
Fernando is such a great driver and wold champion in multiple types of racing. Hope to see him completing at the top in 2026 with Adrian on the team now.
Aston has made some of the most beautiful cars throughout history, but now the whole current lineup is 😍🥰💓 Cool track by the way, looks almost as beautiful as Ascari. 👌
Its cool to hear Fernando's thoughts on the current and past generations of F1 cars. (consistent with all other drives) the current engines and Formula is Tech forward but very boring to actually race. (I have been saying for years) F1 should not be this Tech forward, bring back V10s and make them small and light again. and Make tires that can handles a full race distance at Quali pace like the early 2000s.
Oh wow, thank you James On giving us this type of insight. Something us normal people would never see keep up the amazing content you have been producing lately 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😎
I love how alonso's ideal time off is keep driving. That's a real racer.
Ha ha so good
Ha ha he races for Aston team therefore an ambassador... It's in his contract no doubt to do this stuff.
Alonso will be remembered as a driver who must have had 5 or 6 world champion titles. A true legend.
So Goddamn true, Alonso is a phenom for the ages, for those who only look at numbers will never understand how great this man is, and many will argue he still near his prime, which just proves.
Fernando Alonso is a freak of nature.
Put Alonso in a competitive car and he would still give any one of the new crop a run for their money. One of the greatest talents ever in F1
he's staying still at AM, for this reason... hopefully,newey will build a title contender car
As a Fernando Alonso fan, this collab has been absolutely fantastic! Ive enjoyed it so much
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks 🙏🏼
Me too 😉
I think Alonso is the greatest. He’s my favorite driver in Formula 1. I’m not a jealous person but I wish I was in your shoes today.
There is more to sportsmanship than ego. Alonso is number 1 in my book.
N1
WHo doesn’t love Fernando … I just hope they give him a competitive car for the next couple of years . … who would begrudge him a 3rd title?
I recently found out that the correct word to use is envious, not jealous. Envy is when you desire something someone else has. Jealousy is when you are worried about losing something you have to someone else.

@ 😃
Good thing you didn’t get Lance Stroll
lmao fr would prob crash on turn 1🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao 😂😂😂 got me this.....😂😂😂
Facts 🎉🎉🎉
I mean 2 races ago he didn't even make it to his starting spot so don't get too optimistic
lol
Alonso, the one and only!
What a Masterclass.
That was epic. Enjoyed watching every second of it
Thanks buddy
Alonso is such a good dude... Ive meet him a couple times at races. Really nice & polite
You’re lucky, I’d love to meet him. I did get to meet Bruno Senna and he was a great guy
Fernando came across as completely relaxed and amenable , he is obviously supremely talented , great video as always James , I love all your footage on both channels , fab work by the team
Never meet your heroes? Not in this case. What a legend....
Absolutely
0:11 as a spaniard, this look means "respect my intimate zone" 🤣 btw thank you James for bringing us this type of videos. Absolutely amazing.
Always loved Alonso, just such a chill and relaxed guy who happens to be unbelievably fast in a car.
ALONSO ! ... WOW ! - nice to see him in your video - to hear his opinion is to hear real knowledge
Mr. James Walker you are a hidden treasure on UA-cam. Once you break 1 mil subs your algorithm is going to explode exponentially. Thank you for your sacrifice, hardwork, and dedication. Also thank you to Mrs. JWW for supporting your dream. ❤️✝️🙏
I appreciate it thank you
Agree. Been here from the start. Fantastic channel
Agree. Excellent behind the scenes narrative. Look forward to more of such

Proper guy, just loves driving and racing
@MrJWW thats so awesome.
Omg, i'm a huge fan of Fernando Alonso and you get to sit beside him driving !! Absolutely madness !
Alonso is a solid dude. 10/10. 🙏
Wow this is fantastic, thoroughly enjoyed this video. Alonso is such a cool and chill guy, a true racer
How can someone not like Fernando. Come on
Fernando always came across as a guy. Who was always questioning his mid-life crisis, even as a young man. Nice to get an insight into the guy. Nice guy. Beautiful car.
I know Kimi would probably never do this, and i love him for that.
But i also love that Alonso did it. And he was super cool about it.

Great video mate !!! Alonso is the G.O.A.T. Greetings from Patagonia Argentina 🏁🏴🇦🇷👍🏻
The GOAT of modern F1 no question.
Having Alonso featured in one of your videos. Check that one off the bucket list. Living the dream, JDub!

Thats pretty cool
It is something that makes me take into context film. 2 hours.... YEARS of work for 2 hours (on average) of entertainment.
Absolute Epic with the Samurai 🗡️
Thank you for letting him speak. It was so nice hearing him talk an go on about his thoughts. THANK YOU
Casually chatting to Alonso about F1 engines is actually....gold.
THE ONE & ONLY FERNANDO ALONSOOOOOOO
Imagine Fernando Alonso racing in stadium trucks hitting those jumps!
Senna, Barrichello, Alonso and Hamilton. My all time favorites!
Fernando Alonso in the house 🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Seriously with Alonso? Nice pull James.

Alonso "El Jefe"

Mr. JWW is always a nice switch in pace from DDE
What a great video. A once in a lifetime for you I’m sure spending quality time with an F1 driver, much less a champion! I’ve met 6 of the current grid and gotten photos, but you don’t get to talk to them without spending HUGE money. Thanks for capturing this James.
I had the opportunity to meet him in Ascari Race Resort long time ago. He is one of a kind.
Congratulations for your channel and content.
Day with Alonso woahhh. I wish that tooo
Alonso is the real chill guy
Fernando Alsonso is insane, King of driving, Hero, WOW 😍
Schumi and Alonso Legends
Not sure how you get all this access but it's the key to why this channel and the vlog channel are so watchable.
Thanks for taking us along
Mr JWW Absolutely Incredible Video I think it's absolutey incredible that you got to spend the day with Fernando Alonso at Circuit du Var and got see and share the Behind the scenes of his commercial
Fer ídolo!!
Alonso ❤❤❤❤ always inspiration for all ones
You deserve way more views!

Thanks, it was a fun day to share!
Fernando Alonso. Nothing else to say, sing me up.
Dude , he is my favourite F1 driver and you were riding with him in a vantage...
Riding shotgun alongside Fernando Alonso... What an amazing experience, very nice guys.
JWW please get in the Valkyrie AMR PRO with Alonso driving. I want to see how you hold up with him driving that car on the limit. That would be fun 😎
Well, that was absolutely epic. Thanks James !
Your content just keeps blowing my mind. What a day that must have been 😮
this man alonso can't live a single day without driving a car
Best F1 driver in my humble opinion, nice guy too.
Alonso n1 at all the levels
Very very very cool. ALO # 1
I feel pure and simple evil envy ... having such a great champion driving must be a absolute wild experience!
Another fantastic video James! It’s incredible that you’ve had access to the people and places that you’ve shared with us!
Goosebumps by seeing Fernando driving and enjoying like that WOW
I think Jaguar should have hired Velocity Black for their last ad instead of the crazy one they did. Great video James
Nice touch hanging out with and interviewing the camera men as well!!!

The oldest and best driver in F1. Great video James
Incredible day with Alonso
Lucky man spending cool time with a F1 legend....
Great video, excellent story telling.
The collab we didn't know we needed - hope to see you two together.
Roll on 1 million subs James, congratulations on your overdue rise.

That would be a dream.

Cool track by the way, looks almost as beautiful as Ascari. 👌
El regreso de Fernando alonso a la f1 fue la única razón por la que comencé a ver nuevamente carreras de f1. Fernando es el mejor
His skills are immense, James. Yet another top vlog, sir. 🚀🤙
Really cool video James!!
Wow. I'm not sure how you hooked this up, but congrats! Legendary cameo.
Magic Alonso
Uno de los orgullos de España junto a Nadal, Gasol o Alcaraz 💪🏻

Love the work that Aston is doing lately with their road cars ❤❤❤.
For me Vantage is just perfection 😍😍🤟
