Probably the coldest line in motorsports
I mean he coulda just said I’m faster but an excuse is an excuse
@@KCJbomberFTW Nah that doesn't quite cut it. He's essentially saying "Michael is going to be scared of taking risks, wherass I'm not"
@@hyperx72 yeah I know but it sounds like an excuse as if he’s taking atvantage of a weak spot and blaming the weak spot instead of taking responsibility like a man and saying he’s faster
It just sounds so lame and Michael would never have said something like that passing senna
Gangster as hell
@@KCJbomberFTW Saying "I'm faster" tells you nothing. Obviously, if you win a race then you're faster, but the question was on specifically HOW. (It would be as if asking a boxer their strat and instead of saying "I wore him down and waited for an opening" he just says "Because I defeated him")
And I don't think you're using the word "excuse" correctly. Excuse implies one is blaming on a failure, when this is a successful man who's talking about his accomplishments.
Enzo Ferrari used to joke that a driver loses 1 second off of their lap time for every kid they have
Pretty much Seb Vettel
1000% true. Many examples of this over the years.
😮😮😭😭bruh
So if you lost the ability to hv kids as a male driver,you gain about a billion seconds 🤷♂️
and kimi
@@MohauMaine You lose the will to take risks considering you have kids. That's what Alonso was saying. He pushed Schumacher thinking that he'll back off because he's worried he'd get into a fatal accident. You have to remember they expect accidents that they can never walk away from.
The Enzo quote shows that drivers are less and less likely to take risks the more kids they have. Simply put, he's pointing out that there's an inverse relationship between a driver's risk taking to win and those that have other priorities (kids/family)
Niki Lauda: I accept every time I get in my car there is a 20% chance I could die, and I can live with it, but not 1% more. -Rush
Just answering your question dude
"Having kids makes a driver become more conservative and less reckless"
K-Mag: allow me to introduce myself
K-mag singlehandedly made some races exciting lmao
safety is a bit better now but i get the point
Thaaank Youuu! 👏👏👏👏👏
Lmao
Meanwhile Grosjean: "i remembered my kids and said 'i cannot die here"
"I knew he would brake because he has wife and children waiting for him"
~Young Alonso
Its a fair thought. He had something to lose and the other did not allowing for more risk and more reward.
The risk of death should never, ever, ever be a factor in the ordinary course of a motorsport race. Thankfully in F1 it no longer is.
@@gordon1545 every time a driver goes into his car he knows he could die. Now the cars are really safe so most won't think about it more like flying a plane, but back then they all knew. The longer you go back the more EVERY RACE was always playing with death.
@@gordon1545in a sport when you run side to side another car at plus 300 km per hour, there's always death risk, no matter how safe new cars can be
@@gordon1545shouldn't be a risk, but it is, and it is a risk as soon as you're moving slightly faster than you can run
Death/injury/damage is a risk as soon as you move anything faster than it was designed to do, and humans quite simply isn't designed to move as fast as they do in any car
So death is and should be a factor, cause if you don't factor in the risk of injury, you'll see that injury very quickly
I think about this often and have been wondering if this is why Checo seems slower than just a few years ago
that quote definitely has a insane aura
All the greats are a little insane. Wouldn’t be fun otherwise lol

Totally!
Alonso was and still is a beast behind the wheel
It's good to see a human comment before sex.bots
Huh? When was the last time he won a race? Can't even remember, gotta be over 10 years ago.
@@Janfey race wins don't directly translate to which driver is better. By that logic, Ocon is better than Piastri.
@@Janfey That would be one big big big casual take 🤣 He still is one of the best on that grid although it didn't show much this season. What he did last year was brilliant when the car could at least handle some of the competition.
@@Janfey what about Le Mans with Toyota? Where he carried the shit outta the team on the last stinth of the whole race?
As a schumacher fan, alonso's quote is cold
As a human being that quote is cold.
And ridiculous to as he admits he doesn't care for his own life either.
Game recognizes game.
@@electricpaisy6045YOU ALMOST DIED!
"but I'm winning >:)"
That's cause Alonso is a asshole should've never been 2 time champion and only was due to the mass damper on his car .There is a reason he's never got along with his teammates
@@electricpaisy6045 he had nothing to lose, thats a brave guy right there, not really ridiculous. His life was F1, he was just starting his career
The only quote I can ever think of with regard to Alonso is "ALL THE TIME YOU HAVE TO LEAVE A SPACE"
GP2 ENGINE...GP2...ARRRRRGHHH
No more radio for the rest of the race!!
What does that mean
Yo dawg you spelled it wrong.. it's "All the time you have to liva da space"
That overtake is one of the all time greats, its just the pure symphony of skill and massive balls
And James Allen and Brundle’s commentary for it is great
Not a great overtake he also had the fastest car with a mass damper
@@Hellslayer679 it was not the fastest car and it was a massive overtake, you are just salty cause Alonso sent Schumacher into retirement
And better tyres
@@igorskoro4624 not really, just a better driver
>2005, 19 years ago
Why would you do this to me? I was having such a nice day...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The missing info - it was the 130R corner at Suzuka, Japan
Yes, it was an extraordinary overtake.
Thank you, I was sure it was on 130R and remembered that "balls out" move! Damn hearing a V10 never gets old 🤌🤌🤌
The real crazy thing here is that almost 20 years ago is only 2005 😳
yeah I know right.
Its worse for me as a "retro gamer" if it was released after 2000 its not retro to me but that is clearly not the rules being used by other people
I'm pretty sure he said, "I knew he would hit the brakes because he had a wife and two kids at home" which is colder.
They say you lose a second of speed for every kid. There’s two roasts in that one quote 😂
19 years ago, when Ferlonso was making his 67th Grand Prix start...
This weekend should be his 386th.
The audacity to suggest “I was having a shit” isn’t the most iconic quote of all time.
That's a bloody brilliant quote!
Always fear the man who has nothing to lose.
Alonso drove the Renault r25 in 2005 Suzuka, not the r26, that was from 2006 with the V8
Glad someone caught this mistake.
No accounting for accuracy. Besides, the last great personality was Eddie Irvine!
@@marcuspitts2482More of a jerk
some of the footage was of the Australian GP
That was the coldest thing I've ever heard
But true!
I’m curious as to why you find it cold, could you explain it to me please?
@@lucasnoritomi-hartwig3928 same, trying to grasp why people think its cold when he's basically just saying he's got less to lose and can take on riskier moves
@@lucasnoritomi-hartwig3928i think he meant "cold" as in "bad ass"
@lucasnoritomi-hartwig3928 the subtext is that if schumacher didn't do what alonso wanted (brake/get out of the way) a collision would have been lethal and he didn't feel guilty about the possibility that had they collided, schumacher could have died and left his children to grow up without a father
Moment of silence for when F1 cars weren’t massive pigs and sounded amazing
And were slower, less safe, less efficient and worse overall. I'd rather have faster cars than annoying noisy ones
@@ferst262
The fuck you do with speed when the end result looks slower and with way less fighting?
@@babar292 Looks slower because you aint there. They weave and warm their tires at 220KPH, while safety car is foot on the floor. It's a surreal experience.
@@endjfcarUnless you're Kimi
"If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you no longer a racing driving"
You no longer racing a driving because gap the no longer no exist more
The late great Ayrton Senna
"If you go for a gap that no longer exists, you no longer a racing driver"
Works too.
Beautiful quote… but only if taken out of context.
In reality, that quote was said after the 1990 Japanese GP and it was Senna justifying taking Prost out on lap 1
@@rotkiW9014thank you for knowing your history! I came here to say so myself, but you had it covered.
Prime Fernando had insane aura
Bold of you to assume his prime is over. Get that MF in a decent car and he will beast on people no matter what. Source: 2023 (Brazil especially)
He showed great character to not let his time with McLaren ruin him - a petulant child destroying his season with the full backing of the officials and McLaren themselves.
That wasnt even his prime, he has been at his prime for 20 years
It's the coldest line in motorsports, but the most iconic F1 quote is "if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver
And it's misquoted to HELL as being genuine and inspiring rather than an excuse for an intentional collision lmao
SAVAGE 💀
Not savage ,simple minded maybe
@@Hellslayer679 keep crying, he demolished your favourite driver
I mean, I don't even think that's the most iconic Fernando quote. I'm pretty sure it's probably "GP2 Engine GP2!"
That's just the cold, brutish, and genuine competition that F 1 demands. 🙏
"All the time you have to leave a space!"

"No more radio for the rest of the race"

R25 not r26. The corner was 130R and it wasnt over 200mph. Around 180 to 190 mph
saving the distances (million lightyears away of course) I do have my background in racing, from track days to endurance, to karts and other styles, and It's completely legit, I got slower and a lot more conservative after becoming a father, now I have 2 kids and they are always in my head... In fact on my last 24hs race they were all I could think of...
so thats why perez is washed
It's having a reason to live, and people to mourn you, tbh.
and you arent even an F1 driver, so you arent even close to having those speeds and risks
@@ferst262 absolutely agree. F1 is, like i said, lightyears away. Not only because of the inherent risks but for the speed in which things happen... I won't be the one saying that at 45 My reflexes are the same than when i was 18 because they are simply not.
Most iconic quote of all time in F1:
“If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver."
So it’s Mick’s fault 😂 jkjk
Gunther will agree with you on his next podcast/interview 😂
@@EdisonArias and he will be right, that guy couldnt stop crashing
@@ferst262Still a better driver than 99.99% of the world
@@KitKitChanIsaac not at all
@@ferst262 At least a better driver than you'll ever be.
"I knew he'd hit the brakes, you know, he..has a wife and two kids at home."
unf, that man..pure racer 🤤🥴
This is why Alonso is and will always be the GOAT. He is the most well-rounded race driver in our time.
Alonso deserves a competitive car to fight for wins and a potential championship. I saw him in his prime, jaw-dropping.
What is bro cooking? This ain't even close to the most iconic quote of F1.
You can tell by the way he took those corners how confident he was in that car.
I remember watching this race live. Can’t believe it’s been 19 years!
Really badass statement.. nothing but respect to alonso
Damn, Alonso was a menace with that quote, what a beast
The same race where Kimi was absolutely flying and took the win after starting was it 18th
Personal opinion: Alonso is and will be forever the best driver
"You won't believe who it was about"
*turns out to be the most obvious guy, his number one rival*
Lauda said: Happiness is your biggest enemy. It weakens you. Puts doubts in your mind. Suddenly you have something to lose.
A statement Alonso lived by
bravo kid you made it in life.......
"I always remembered Michael had two kids." Fernando is the last true track gladiator. The 80s, 90s and 2000s were blessed to have so many big personalities with the all the driving skill and bravery to actually back up their words. Now its far too sanitised.
My favorite Motorsport quote is-
I’m “Not lifting until I see God or a checkered flag”
It is a great quote. But the media really overinflated the circumstances. Michael definitely wasn't going to be able to keep Alonso behind that year. The Ferrari was beyond uncompetitive and couldn't carry the same speed into turns.
Was also tire war between Bridgestone and Michelin. Two different tires that performed differently. Even today on same tires the engineers still struggle with tires.
The excuses for Schmacher are wild. He parked in the apex cause he didnt think Alonso would overtake him there, he did not let himself pass. What alonso did was insane, and the Ferrari was quite decent at Suzuka
@@ytwongo excuses, Alonso destroyed Schumacher, he did have a lot to win he was still in fight for the championship. Alonso did one of the best passes in history, you Schumacher fangirls are desperate to make it less of a deal so your favourite driver doesn’t look bad 🤣
@ferst262 it was one of the best overtakes in F1 history, not denying that, but you are saying a lot of bs. Alonso had already won the title by Brazil, the race before the Japanese GP. He finished the year with 133 points, followed by Kimi in second with 112, and Schumi, with 62. Ferrari wasn't a tractor, but wasn't the Renault or the Mclaren in terms of pace. Michael didn't have anything to win anymore by that point in the season, wouldnt make a big difference, and even if he defended against Alonso there, Alonso would probably pass him in the next few corners. Ferrari wasn't really going to win the constructors anyways, so yeah. Fernando is one of the best drivers, even today, in his 40s. For me, the 2012 season he showed what Alonso is capable of, dragging what was the 4th fastest car at best to fight for the championship, clearly one of the best drivers F1 has ever had. But again, as you said, one of the best overtakes, and one of the coldest lines ever.
@@ytwongo You are acting like Schumacher didn’t almost kill Barrichello for barely any points while at Mercedes.. he tried to park in the inside and Alonso schooled him by going to the outside full throttle.
The greatest fighter ace of WWII, the Luftwaffe’s Erich Hartmann, was renowned for pulling negative G’s if someone got on his six. Negative G’s force blood into your head (like going over the top on a roller coaster) and humans can only take half the negative g’s compared to positive g’s. Hartmann commented that his reasoning was the same as here. If he was being chased, his motivations for survival were greater than the adversary’s motivation to get the kill, so he would typically prevail. Same idea, similar high-stakes game. 😅
The numbers of the deal are important. £43 million is a lot for a player out of favour at Bayern. His wages are a lot and need to come down. These are not signs we can ignore. It’s up to the player to decide if he wants the challenge to get his career back on track. Maybe we can agree to sell him on if he performs, to someone like Madrid or Barca if they come calling. Something like that would give us a couple years of his service and best while giving him the motivation of a dream move.
Imo, Fernando Alonso is the greatest F1 driver of all time.
And years later, Michael forgot about his kids for a few moments, skiing off course. And that was that.
"If you don't go for the gap... Your no longer a racing driver"... A more famous quote....😮
The Anglophile myth that Schumacher was a "bully" is just that, a myth. Schumacher was a genius who actually changed his driving style from the "Prost-Senna-Mansell" school to the less aggressive style of the late-nineties/early-noughties after the Villeneuve incident.
Shumi was a bitch.
A great driver, you don't get 7 championship if you're not better than the average, but still, he was not a friendly driver.
It's not a myth, he was disgusting on track and off track when it came to racing. He costed many drivers their careers, forcing them to obey Ferrari orders they made for him or they would lose their seats, trying to take other drivers out intentionally himself, almost crashing Barrichelo, who gifted him 2 championships, into a wall while fighting for barely any points. He wasnt a nice guy.
@@ferst262What an utter load of nonsense. Schumacher was the villain in Britain and any countries affected by its media. It's true that the Barrichello incident in Austria 02 was unfair, but he wasn't gifted a single championship - to say so is utterly delusional and proves my point. 92 - 99/00 he never had the fastest car, and yet won 2 championships and finished ahead of Senna in his first full season in F1. He was a gentleman off track if aggressive on it, but he was never as aggressive as Verstappen, nor even Senna.
@@JamesFlemingIreland he was gifted 2 championships by Barichello. He literally threatened drivers so they would lose their seats if they didn’t block his rivals. He left the garage to hit another driver. He was disgusting inside and outside the track. He was way more aggressive, literally crashed on purpose into his rivals to avoid losing the championship. Not even senna was that dirty
My favorite Fernando Alonso line was
"GP2 engine! GP2! Arrghh!"
At 2005, I was 2 years old. I'm legible to drive a car now, and Nando is still racing.
It was fantastic.
Thing was in 2005 Renault were running Michelins and Ferrari and 2 other teams were on Bridgestones. Bridgestones at the time were 1 second a lap slower than Michelins
That was some savage thinking and approach
He was right on his ass during a long straight..., and F1 rules dictate drivers cannot swerve to block, only having one move to block and technically a second to prepare for a corner. Anyone could make that pass
Reminds of the line from the film Grand Prix "Now, when I see I terrible accident, I put my foot down. Hard! Because I know, everyone else is lifting his."
He’s cold 🥶
His potential is over the charts!
It was like;
Talent and genius versus potential and perseverance. Alonso has some guts to drive the formula car like that and michael schumacher has the god gifted abilities when he was driving the formula car like that!
Correction; 20 years ago is 1980's not 2005
Sadly.
haahaha wasn't expecting that level of madness
That’s cold af.
He’s my 🐐
even though I hate the line and disagree with it, lets face it, the most iconic F1 quote of all time is "if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you're no longer a racing driver"
Coldest line in any sport ever
the fact that next year alonso will (probably) drive against someone that wasn't even born when this happened is hilarious.
Alonso is still racing but Schumscher’s son is out of a drive. That’s insane 🤯
Alonso had been the best driver since Schumacher, although I suspect max is entering that conversation now
In other words "I was ready to die to win" lol
It was more "I knew Michael wasn't prepared to die for a podium"
That was so fucking cold, love it
Whether you like it or not, the most famous F1 quote of all-time is "I know what I'm doing."
The GOAT for a reason
Skills wise, nobody ever topped Fernando in the history of the sport... seeing him at merely 2 titles is just so sad when he could have won twice as much as Schumacher had he not had a Ferrari level bad luck stat 😂
Suzuka: best Kimi Räilkkönen race
Loving hearing Ruth talk strategy
The psychological tactics are crazy.
Ik this isn’t f1 but Chellinis quote is facts
This quote is great but the most iconic one in F1 has to be the "if you no longer go for a gap" one.
That's real.
“I knew he would brake because he had a wife and kids waiting for him at home” - Fernando motherf*ckin Alonso
Jacques Villeneuve commenting his testing in F1 was also iconic, saying it's not that impressive lol
130r was modified after Alan McNish crash in 2002.
After being re-profiled and made a little less exhilarating in 2003, 130R no longer lives up to its name. The new two-part corner which sits in its place has a first part with a radius of 85 metres and a second part with a radius of 340 metres.
That is brutal. But such is the life of those at the top.
19 years ago was 2005. And the 1980's were 20 years ago. How crazy is that?
Other drivers with kids: I don't want to take risks
Kmag: Ima crash into this barrier at 212kph so Nico can get some points
"Fuck that"
-K-mag
He has something to lose, I don’t. Therefore I know I have less fear than him entering this corner !
Young driver
"Fernando is faster than you"
verstappen was still pooping his pants
For everyone who didn't want to watch the whole thing, he said: "At times like that, it's important to remember that Michael [Schumacher] has two kids." He was asked his thoughts after overtaking Michael
The video is less than a minute long, who is your summary for. Anyone would spend more time scrolling all the way down to your comment than watching it
Wow…. What a driver… that statement alone was cut throat
I had never heard that and actually, it's pretty funny. Thanks for sharing.
Meanwhile I have 2 balls of steel - Alonso probably
