Alonso should be a 5 times champion. One of the greatest.

Alonso is the prime example of the driver whose numbers don't express the caliber. One of the greatest of all time, for sure. 41 years old and still in prime condition. An animal.

his parents telling him his won the race despite getting lapped 13 times in a 15 lap race is testament to what love and encouragement can do to people at a young age

I think Fernando hesitated a bit to talk about his time at Ferrari: he really cared to win with the scuderia, and having been so close in 2010 and 2012 is surely still hurting. As Ferrari fan all my life, I can only thank Fernando for taking two very average cars so close to the title: despite the heartache, we didn't forget all the great emotions and the GP victories in red.

Have to say that many don't appreciate Fernando's greatness , you could see how much he grew as a person. He's a generational talent with insane consistency. Thanks for still being in the sport !

Definitely one of the absolute greatest despite not having the actual numbers to match his talent.

I’m a massive fan of Lewis and Seb, but man Alonso grew on me a lot over the years. He should be multiple time champion, 4-5x champ at minimum. Almost drove that Ferrari to victory twice. Alonso is such a great personality and I’m very happy for him to be finding some success at Aston Martin, seeing their turnaround has been amazing.

The best moment is when he retired from F1 temporarily in 2018 because of tiredness and lack of good results, and the people around the sport were missing him in the races; showing him love, respect and trying to convince him to return. For me that's legacy. Fernando Alonso legend!!!!!!

Fernando is the epitome of high performance. Hes been consistently at top of his form if not getting better over the years, it’s a tragedy he’s not had a statistically glittering career but we all know fernando takes no prisoners or leaves none.he’s almost succeeded taking the championship twice in the 3rd fastest car driving his cars to positions it shouldn’t have fought.won le man twice,daytona ,sebring after the mchonda stint,became a orld endurance champion at almost 40 then came back to f1 and is likely to be the title contender in near future challenging either max or lewis.him winning the title will set a benchmark of drive and motivation to compete and perform at the highest of level.he’s right there alongside greats like fangio,clark,senna,lauda and ,prost

For me the greatest F1 driver I have ever seen. He is the guy who beat Schumacher. The way he can extract absolutely everything out of the car and even more. He has that magic touch to produce incredible overtakes, the way he reads the race,his intelligence and his consistency make him the GOAT for me. If you would give the whole grid the same car I think he would come out on top at the end of the season.

This is obviously a guy with a huge amount of self discipline, no arrogance just pure self confidence with the CV to back it up. He is the last of a breed, a true racer like in the old days, willing to try and drive anything, for the pure thrill of driving and winning!

For those confused as to why Alonso is asked about his failures, struggles, and regrets... I would like to say that I've never found him more relatable. It was good for me to how human he is and how he also wrestles with hardships. I think one of my favorite parts is when he talks about having a plan ("El Plan" lol) for becoming better--improving one step at a time. He's enjoying the "process" more than the prizes. Even better, I enjoyed hearing him talk about how he wants to enjoy and savor his career while he still has it. This kind of conversation doesn't happen necessarily by pouring over the cliche tropes of success, fame, and fortune. Food for thought

What a human, what a machine.

Fernando’s greatness comes from dragging shite cars to places they had absolutely no business being in,fighting for championships he wasn’t even supposed to hover near around. Being on absolute top form through all these years even in other categories Lewis and michael are debatable f1 goats but fernando is the absolute undisputed four wheeler motorsport god. Really appreciate jake havjng alonso,i miss him being there covering those championships for bbc with eddie jordan and david coulthard but it was nice to have a title contender from those times give an uplcose review of what happened.

You could tell Fernando was in his element answering the questions. Highly professional job and refreshing approach by the interviewers and Fernando as always kept it real. I clicked soon as I saw the name of the guest because, to me, Fernando Alonso is the highest performer athlete for such a long period of time whether in racing different categories, marketing or running his own businesses. It's mind-blowing how he keeps performing at such high level year in and year out and one would like to know the mindset behind it. Big thanks!

Fernando Alonso is one of the all time greats. And if anything proves that stats don't tell the whole story. Despite having 2 World Championships and 32 wins it is argueable that his resume is still underrated.

my favorite moment was definitely Fernando's honesty. He used to be portrayed as the "bad guy" of the sport and many people still see him as a villain. This interview has shown Fernando's emotional side and you can see that he is not only one of the greatest drivers in Motorsport of all time, but also a good person. Thank you for interviewing him!

Despite not having the accolades of other drivers, I think he has to be considered amongst the greats of the sport. Unreal consistency, the best longevity we've ever seen, incredible adaptability, phenomenal race craft and a massive racing IQ.

Alonso is another example of one of those humans that has incredible gifts but also a dedicated work ethic. This is what it takes to be great at something, and his unrelenting passion to be the best is definitely inspiring.
