[mja]

Watching Alonso, Schumacher and Raikkonen trying to overtake each other is just beautiful.

[Blackout_]

Honda, Renault, Ferrari, Mercedes, BMW, Toyota. F1 needs more Factory teams again.

[siddharthsingh]

That Alonso on Schumi on the Outside of 130R will forever be a classic.

[Cpr]

James's reaction when Raikkonen passes Fisichella

[jedgamesguy]

At one point Kimi was fifteen seconds behind Fisi. Four laps later he was right behind him.

[thiagotonin]

2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008. Great years, great disputes. Miss the sound of those cars

[AverageGamer]

Martin: “and they nearly touch, and around the outside he goes”
James:

[george._mav]

When james allen said "YEEAHHHH" that gave me chills. Every f1 fan celebrated that overtake. Kimi is a legend

[jenesuispasbavard]

Alonso's move on Schumacher from the outside is one of the greatest overtakes of all time.

[ICEMANZIDANE]

„From back of the field to the front“ normally only happens in rainy races or atleast on tracks where overtaking is easy.

But on Suzuka? On a Dry race?

This guy was net atleast 0.5s faster than Montoya especially considering fuel levels.
This guy was 0.5s faster than Alonso in Monaco.

This guy qualified 1st with the heaviest car on some races, its absolutely ridiculous.

2:09 Probably the best camera angle in F1 history. You can feel the Gs on Alonso's car as he turns from the outside and still manages to maintain speed without leaving the racing line. It's insane. Also, Schumacher ends up way behind him on the next straight. Simply legendary. Aaaand symbolic.

[abdulmuhaimin]

*BWOAH!!!*
2:35 180 miles per hour! Around the outside! On the 130R corner!

5:34 *YES!!!* What a brilliant move!

[Jeno]

No DRS, just people living in the moment.

[weignerleigner]

That 130r pass by Alonso gets me everytime. Amazing.

[StephenLMW]

The ice man at his finest, this is one of the greatest races in motor racing history it was non stop action all the way through and that overtake on the last lap was stunning

[GOATMENTATOR]

I was 7 years old when this race happened and I went mental after that overtake. VITTU that was epic

[manvindarsingh]

probably the best race of all time, this made me F1 fan forever watching it I remember almost falling from couch when Fisico and Kimi were side by side... what a day it was

[awayfrom]

Those cars were so amazing. Very agile.. + the sound.

[normie]

Fisichella: ONE LAP TO GOOOO
Kimi: No, *you won't have the win, Fisi*

[ciaronsmith]

Kimi: Fastest driver this century at his peak. It wasn't just 2005. It was 2003, 2004 and 2006 too when he was unbelievable. Can't compare 2014 Pirelli Hybrid Kimi or 2008 Bridgestone Kimi with Michelin tyre Kimi at McLaren.
