I agree, I actually extend the list. 2003 to the halfway point of 2013 minus 2004 and 2011. This was the best time for F1, that's 2 1/2 boring seasons out of 11. and to counter the "rose coloured glasses" effect, I've watched F1 since 1981 and was already over 30 in 2003.
@@KaiserM3he's right. He almost could've won in 2007, 2010 and 2012 by 8 points. He's champion in 2005 and 2006. 2 + 1 + 1 +1 = 5. Where's the lack or knowledge. Or is that you talking to yourself?
@@HassanKhan-rk2hu you are incredible stupid 🤣. That Renault was very dominant, and I was there watching it, it was almost illegal how good that car was in the curves, also those years Ferrari had issues with their cars, they didn't finished lot of races and Renault was just better, but if Ferrari's radiator in Susuka (Michael's Ferrari) doesn't breaks then Alonso would only have 1 tittle 😂. Michael was 10 laps away to win his 8th championship. And then in Brazil Renault send Fisichella to crash against Michael, wish he did.... You are just a fanboy, kid
I dunno ,watching kimi vs everyone else driving a complete shitbox of a car in a shitbox will be my enduring memory. Watching him take the scalps of the big three front teams with what had to be a slightly naughty tune in that car...
@sadsadasdsadasdsadas most overrated. he was slower than massa, demolished by alonso and vettel, even grosjean was equal with him on pace in 2012 and his mclaren days are also simply overrated. he was nowhere close to alonso and msc performance wise when he was battling either for championship.
Spain nearly killed me, my dad (who got me into f1 and being a Williams fan) had died less than 6 months before. I think I almost cried all the water out of my body.

There's a thing in F1 where a villain can become an underdog hero after a few bad seasons or a comeback. Former villian, Michael Schumacher was in his last season of his comeback in 2012 and in full underdog mode, we all wished he could have won a race...Seb, 2 times champion, about to be 3 times, was in villian mode, 2013 was full villian mode ( I was still a fan, but had to defend myself) by 2020 he was in full underdog hero mode and now we all miss him...Alonso was starting to hit underdog mode, getting so close to that 3rd championship for the 3rd time...he was the villain of 2007, he's an absolute underdog hero right now in 2023, at 42, 3rd in the championship, getting podiums after a dry spell at McLaren and a break from f1 where he tried Indy a couple times and won LeMans twice...
and now aston have completely fked him up with barely any developments over the season. And Lawrence Stroll wants a knighthood for turning Aston around🤣
For me Alonso is forever the villain. It's hard to believe that his appearance in crash gate, spy gate and even the Piastri controversy were mere coincidences, especially when you see him still in this season securing Q3 participation twice by using the run off area or making a completely silly spin causing yellows on the hot lapping cars that would clearly push him out. Both were way too obvious and just plain rotten if you ask me. Remember that his only championships came from the team with illegal software aids and the deported team principal.
Back in 2012, I was 14 yo and I was convinced the Apocalypse would occur on Christmas. Watching my hero clinging to the fight for the championship until the very last in such an astonishing season was to me a signal to the end. The lasg Formula 1 season until the end of mankind had to be the greatest one.
I remember this season, my dad and I (me in my mid 30s) watching every race that was available to us in the states. Not knowing what would happen next. it was F'in epic.
Sebs drive in Brazil will always be one of the greatest of all time. Oh and 19:32 looks like a certain Günther "we look like a bunch of f*cking champions" Steiner.
The video was great!! 🤩🤩 Just two small things: You put a france flag for monaco gp (ok, who cares?). But Confusing south korea with north korea flag is dangerous 😂
No way it was better compared to 2012 or 2021,not to bring up other seasons...it was more about McLaren's drama more than even the title fight with Raikkonen
Hamilton had the best car, but a subpar team. I'm a Vettel fan but i believe all the 3 were in a similar level that year, with Alonso and Hamilton just being slightly better.
It wasnt really that bad. It was the most consistent car, Mclaren were fastest but blew up every race and RB with second fastest also had many technical problems. Over the whole season Alonso had one .
i don't know if anyone noticed but he used the France flag instead of the Monaco flag, before anyone says anything, the Monaco flag was adopted on April 4th of 1881. just thought i'd point this out.
Love these videos Did you know that after pastor Maldonado won that race on frank Williams' birthday.... his race car caught fire before scrutinizing could be done
Listening to someone calling 2012 the greatest season ever, in a time like this, gives me a glimmer of hope that the formula 1 community might grow in terms of maturity
Lots of people expected Jenson to be the McLaren lead. He was consistently smarter than Hamilton on track and beat him over their tenure together as teammates

I think you mean 2007 not 2008
2012 is what we would get if we merge 2021 and 2024. The GOAT season. I think 2025 has a shot in surpassing it though.
Amazed by how much bad luck Hamilton had this season
Yep leading in Brazil, Abu Dhabi & Singapore when his car failed. Still say it was a championship mclaren threw away that year.
Actually that's not even much compared to all of Kimi's McLaren seasons. Some of Schumi's title years Kimi was leading far more laps.
Hamilton had the best car, but a subpar team. I'm a Vettel fan but i believe all the 3 were in a similar level that year, with Alonso and Hamilton just being slightly better.
Kimi is Goated.
97, 98, 07 & 08 were peak entertainment
That Ferrari had no right fighting for a Championship. Bless Fernando.
It wasnt really that bad. It was the most consistent car, Mclaren were fastest but blew up every race and RB with second fastest also had many technical problems. Over the whole season Alonso had one .
With all the reliability issues in other cars it definitely should’ve won the title.
Like how Ocon beat Alonso in 22.
Mann it is a summer break for F1 fans and trust me this video filled that void 💖
There were 7 world champions? You left out Kimi

tbh for me 2010 was greater. Way closer title battle... 5 dudes in until the very end, 4 people having a shot at the final race wdc
For me it was 2009. Jenson Button thought he was out of F1, but became World Champion.
Why did you put the French flag for Monaco Monaco isn’t part of France
