To understand how great Ferrari was during those years, Alonso was lapped by RedBull and McLaren by the end of the race.

Crazy to think this was 10 years ago! Feels like just the other week

[maverickm]

There might not be a straight answer in F1 about who is the best driver in which department. But when it comes to race starts, there is no driver better than Fernando Alonso

[NavF]

Yess, finally some Alonso starts content, that's one of the most incredible starts from the 2010s. Hope we can see some of these starts this year

[boom]

Imagine taking the lead in your home grand prix in a midfield car in front of all the spanish fans! Must be so great

[CustomName]

Shows his skill, can’t wait to see how he does this year. Glad he’s back.

[sohambelge]

The fact that he did that in that ferrari just tells how go he was

[ángelrollánrojo]

Cada vez que lo veo, me acuerdo que yo estuve allí... nunca vi a una grada de fórmula 1 en España tan emocionada, ojalá volviesen esos tiempos

[StevieTruth]

Alonso is the best! No one can pass like him.

[TheConfidentNoob]

Brundle’s commentary at the start is just on point👌🏻

[JuanA-dtkn]

Vamos Fernando!!!
Thank you for being there and coming back to F1!!!

[marjanmiah]

One of the best starters in f1 history

[bienamergarcia]

I hope one day, we can once again see Fernando’s face on the podium. Such great times...

Edit 1: Sorry wasn’t able to reply after Qatar, but vamos, vamos Alonso well done!

Edit 2: Currently has 4 podiums in 2023, absolutely biblical

Edit 3: Missed pole in Monaco 2023 by .084 seconds. But at least got 2nd place, VAMOS ALONSO!

No one gets off the line better then Alonso.
He always got the best out of the car.

‘Fernando should be a 4/5 time World Champion’ - Lawrence Barretto from our podcast that we did with him coming out next week

I remember that race very well! It‘s an absolute classic. Absolute briliant stuff in the end when Hamilton and Vettel fight

[whippyfc]

It would be nice to see what’s going on

[PVflying]

A rare example of Alonso taking the inside of the first corner. He’s normally (90%+) to be found picking up places using the outside line around the first bend. What a driver though! If only he had made better career choices and been in the right car at the right times.

I always love seeing the crowd go berserk and hearing them over the sounds of the cars.

When you make Martin Brundle sound like Murray Walker, you know your driving is impressive!
