Let's not forget, this guy became world champion when Michael was still racing.

This guy has done Daytona, Dakar, indycar, Le Mans, and is a 2 time f1 world champion . Respect ✊

Say what you want, but reality is that he's one of the best drivers in F1 history and to see him drive again is just pure joy.

That blue and yellow Renault was one of the most beautiful cars in the past 20 years. I miss that livery.

It is not about the fact that he won 2 Championships. It is HOW he won them (and how he ran in every race). With ballsy, courageous moves, always fighting, always fair (no matter what who he raced), taking out the best from weak cars and really, really bad teams (yeah, I'm looking at you, Ferrari of 2010-2014)
Whenever he raced, he gave his all and did it in a spectacular fashion.
I am so happy to see him back!

Definitely the Renault R26 is one of the most beautiful cars that ever went through the formula 1.

-No more gp2

I love Alonso's aggressive driving style in 2005 and 2006. Literally forcing the car to understeer and waiting for the car to grip up again.

That pass in japan on "The Michael" will always impress not matter how much I watch it.

I'm so stoked for Alonso to make a return. Everyone has their childhood heroes, and for me, I was 12ish when Alonso won his first WDC. He will always be my "Senna" or "Schumacher". No disrespect to the other greats, of course, I respect them all. But I get insane goosebumps watching Alonso highlights and old races commentated by James Allen and Martin Brundle. Not to say there aren't great fights now, but those fights he had with Raikkonen and Schumacher wouldn't have happened with DRS. Amazing to watch them battle so close to each other, and that goes both ways, Schumacher's come back at Imola the next year was legendary as well!

This Mild Seven Renault blue and yellow was beautiful!

You can’t really use the excuse of “because he has the best car” on Alonso. Look at 2010 and 2012 for example.

That Podium :
1 Alonso
2 Kubica
3 Räikkönen

The engine feels good. Much slower than before.

This is all part of the great Renault Masterplan

Ricciardo: *leaves*
Alonso: pass me a pack of mild sevens

[Seamasr]

Really the most beautifully stunning car in F1! The only driver I’ve ever seen hold off Michael for a win. And in my life time never saw and can always guarantee that he’ll ring every ounce out of whatever he’s racing. I’ve seen all those races and wins, man I’m getting old.

[TrueMexico]

We need to find Renault a sky blue sponsor for full nostalgia in 2021.

0:24 Alonso celebrating his first 3rd place more than Kimi celebrating his first win.
