Sato overtaking Alonso, Banshee move

[Cloud7731]

OMG!! Alonso is very bad driver!!!

[97ginoVDB]

ah nice to see a low field team beating a top field team. loved Super Aguri, shame they pulled out because they were really starting to get competitive

[DeathNightmares]

@Dogman36 ok XD. I was just explaining for people who say that alonso is a bad driver because a super aguri passed him.

[DeathNightmares]

alonso had his tyres destroyed, that's why he started to loose positions

[Dogman36]

@DeathNightmares oh just let sato have this.

[millu1986]

These cars looked like F1 cars! Today... pfff....

[TheAirBourne21]

@millu1986 today f1 car is sh*t

[Kevizzle05]

@TheAirBourne21 Today f1 racing is shit !

Dangerous driving gets punished ...

So what you get is all the new drivers are affraid to overtake unless they can use their backwing ...

With other words lame racing ..

Formula 1 back in the years were way more action and way more drivers who dares to take risks...

[racingman3000]

14 people don't know what super aguri is or takuma sato

[SkarnDeBrax]

Super Aguri... i wan't you baaaaaaack!!!!!

[DominarTyranT1]

This Super Aguri is an Arrows A22 people ^^ very nice car with an excellent & brave Takuma Sato.

[Dogman36]

Hammond's bought Sato's wing and gaff-taped it to a Renault Avantime!

SOOPAH AGOOREE FTW

[DrKrFfXx000000000000]

Sato!!!!!!



[Logicfray]

ugliest era of F1 cars. 

[karburator256]

what hepend of alonso ?? him have old tire or somhnting ???

[beo757]

@karburator256 Yeah, tires were really bad. But not only tires, the car wasn't good at all, that's coz Sato in his Super Aguri PWNED Fernando.

[DieKolkrabe]

Sato's now pulling those moves in Indycar, while Helio punts everyone

[Kyle1851]

@DieKolkrabe Sato had the race won on the streets of Sao Paulo before he made an unscheduled pit stop with a few laps to go.

[DieKolkrabe]

@Kyle1851 He did, look at Helio this year, crashing into his team mates at Long Beach, not quite the same Helio fom the past few yars.

[roquemauboa]

Sato said, swallowing your two titles!

[xshx19]

Moments like these are why F1 is so brilliant!

[Sportingrida]

Sato is the bets :)

[rey8156]

Con un Super Aguri y por fuera!! jajaja ese es el gran alonso?? grande sato.

[bullet50000]

GO SATO!!! Sad for the demise of Super Aguri. SS Oil and Gas is a dick of a company

[carsismeZ06]

What is it with Japanese drivers having many shining moments, but not being able to have a race seat? Hopefully this won't happen to Kobash

[aceman42]

one shining moment for super aguri team

[DarkyPNC]

Alonso with his mirrors full of Super Aguri!

[alonso932]

the 2007 super aguri car was the 2006 honda car????...looks like the same

[Castrol12]

@alonso932 Yeah essentially it was due to the rules and regulations for "B-Teams" so Super Aguri were sort of allowed a customer type chassis contract with Honda. It was the same with Red Bull and Toro Rosso. Also showed that the RA106 chassis was clearly a very good one in the end

[gtsgtsgt]

One of the best overtaking of all time

[OpoGamingChannel]

Need a new team in Forumla 1 for Takuma Sato and Kamui Kobiyashi in a championship winning car! :D

[e1gr]

What a car McLaren had in 2007 ... even with that massive slip stream Sato had, that Mclaren kept pulling away till they hit 7th gear...

and yea.. if alonso wasnt such a pussy as usual he might score that 1 critical point here.

[aieljose]

@e1gr It's called playing it smart. What would we of all thought if he crashed there which is a real possibility? People like you would have called him a retard. LOL

[lupowins]

Great move, both are great drivers for overtaking.

[captainj84]

anyone who overtakes alonso is a goodguy in my books!

[thechucknorrisraper]

we need sato back in f1 youd see some overtaking thenwith sato and kobayashi it would be a sight to see then

[PJ2436]

Davidson was in 3rd until he ran over a gerbil and had to pit :(

[cursethesemetalhans]

Remember the 2007 Super Aguri was the 2006 Honda which beat Mclaren...

[TheCarlsonsRaiders]

I bet Alonso was probably about to shoot himself, being overtaken by a Super Aguri when he thinks he's the king of the track.

[Thebeerdrinkindude]

sato's a legend, but we've got a new one and his name is ----> KAMUI

[kenjuma]

@Thebeerdrinkindude Not as talented as Sato. But he is more consistent. But of the two of them, I think Sato had way more potential.

[darrelhodges]

He's got some balls, great move!

[beyblader10171]

the guy on the left ( the two fans ) looks like anthony davidson lol

[Douglas6250]

!?!?!? Amazing !!! How can a Super Aguri overtake a Mclaren !?!?!?!?!!!! Incredible job Sato !!

[bongnavaro24]

Yey can't beleived i was on the camera im that guy wearing a yellow cap and blue shirt

[TheColinChapman]

Takuma's Team made a great move during the safety car phase during this race - the took him in for soft tyres and a lap later again for hard ones, so he was all set for the end of the race. You can see that Fernando's tyres were done for (he was still on soft tyres, watch the white line). Takuma made his way through the field on the better tyres by the end of the race, that's the secret to it.

[foxtrotalphaone]

Fucking British commentators! He had to finish his thought on Hamilton before he could be bothered with the most exciting pass of the race.

I'm not knocking Hamilton, by the way.

Just sayin...

[ardoalg]

Sato was Ice-cold ... :) But damn, he blew up several engines in one weekend ... :D

[tubehows4life]

Stupid James Allen "he lets him through". No idiot, Sato overtook him!

[calvinhermse]

THAT is called slipstream

[bobtheblob68]

@MotorsportMonster That made my day XD

[1989SupraGuyFIN]

@bobtheblob68

I was laughing out loud when I saw that back then. That totally made my day. :D

[Lynxtro]

super aguri had a okay car in 2007, as it was based off the decent honda RA106

[foxtrotalphaone]

@Lynxtro Not a criticism, but the RA106 was more than decent. Mated to a Ferrari/Mercedes/BMW engine, I think the chassis could have been a genuine title contender. Conversely, Button may not have been Champion with a Honda powered Braun... Maybe.

You can see Sato's speed advantage evaporate the moment he moved out of the slipstream. It happened too fast for him to have simply been running more wing. HP was definitely a factor, or rather a lack thereof.

[kenjuma]

@foxtrotalphaone I hink it has been proven that the engine doesn't make much difference (by the way, the Honda was one of the best engines in the field, up there with the Merc and Ferrari's). A good example is Midland/Spyker/Force India. Had Toyota (ok), Ferrari (terrible) and now Cosworth (ok again). Ergo, Jens would've been W.C. too, if the team would've remained Honda. Actually, the car was already very quick in the pre season tests when it was still Honda.

[supercas46]

@kenjuma Agree entirely with this, plus the Brawn was designed around using the Honda engine, the Mercedes was bolted on at the last minute. If Honda had remained in for 2009 it's very possible they would've been more dominant than Brawn were.

[foxtrotalphaone]

@kenjuma Two things:

1. Force India use Mercedes engines, not Cosworth, and

2. The Braun never tested preseason as a Honda, or with a Honda engine. They only made it to the final test before the season opener as a Braun and with the Mercedes power plant.

Besides this, it's worth noting that the Mercedes engine is not only the most powerful on the grid, but also the lightest and, I believe, have the lowest center of gravity, whereas the Honda engine, while powerful, was one of the heaviest.

[kenjuma]

@foxtrotalphaone 1) You're right. But the point I wanted to make still stands. They didn't go any faster until Vijay Mallya pumped some money in it. The engine didn't make any difference.

2) Teams also test in private. The Catalunya pre-season tests were in March, right before the first GP (also in March). Or do you think that in that short time since the take over, Brawn (correct spelling of the name, the guy is British, not German LOL) managed to make a competitive care from scratch?

[foxtrotalphaone]

@kenjuma Thanks, I always make that spelling error. But no, Brawn didn't build the car in that short time. The design was finalized and construction began while the team was still Honda(and on Honda's budget). Infact the team turned to '09 very early and would have been the first to launch the new car, but Honda withdrew in the winter and the car only made the final test, as a Brawn. And no, teams don't test in private, save for a couple of straight line & promotional(w/ GP2 tires) tests.

[kenjuma]

@foxtrotalphaone Testing can be other than running miles. Think about windtunnelstests and other work done in Brackley and Tochigi. Also, they can test outside of the multi-team tests. And before Catalunya, they were also testing there in November '08 as Honda. And didn't Lotus do a couple of private tests? And Toyota did a buck load of testing on it's own on Paul Ricard. I mean, as long as you don't go over the 15.000 km the FIA is all right with it, as far as I know...

[LUIZPRUDENCIO]

Quem diria... Essa ultrapassagem decidiu o campeonato de 2007, já que Alonso perdeu para Raikkonen por 1 ponto...

In the end of the year, this overtaking decides the championship. Alonso loses the FIA Formula 1 Championship for one point. Raikkonen 108, Alonso 107, Hamilton 107 after Brazilian Grand Prix.

[gingerlink]

Japanese drivers always seem to be the most fun to watch. Whether they make brilliant overtaking manoeuvres, like Sato or Kobayashi, or providing excitement over at point in the race they'll choose to crash, like Nakajima

[mercedesf1GER94]

As a McLaren and Mercedes fan I was shocked. How is that possible? A japanese driver, who was 7 seconds slower in the year before than men in the top cars, overtakes a championship-contender with a car that's still 2 seconds slower than the McLaren, takes him around the outside and leaves Alonso look like a stupid amateur...

In the end I was happy that Sato had a little success with this small team because I think he deserved it and should still be in F1.

[ordnas1234]

Very good overtake by alonso! But at this time, alonso's mclaren was having brake problems! But I'm anti-alonso so... What an overtake! Thanks sato!

[hammersandirons1001]

This was one of the best races of the 00's

[SHINLAZER]

11 Alonso Fans... LoL

[carsismeZ06]

11 people don't realize a great driver when the see one.

[21044012]

I like japanese drivers Sato and Kobayasi, they are very good fighters. Alonso is looooser !

[ShinyMagnezone]

Because of Sato, Alonso missed out on winning 2007, thank god for the Japanese

[puddingpants7]

@ShinyMagnezone No if Alonso scored this one extra point he would tie Raikkonen but Raikkonen had 6 victories Alonso had 4 so no.

[ShinyMagnezone]

@puddingpants7 I forgot about that, thank god Raikkonen was there to just save the day

[nitroboost8765]

Alonso has a history of getting pwned by Japanese drivers.....

[Luis72205]

Bye Alonso

[CactaurJumbo]

Man I remember watching this live, Sato the legend

[Srobify]

@WarriorsDancee

if allens a cunt, what is legard?

[DABSOSB]

@Srobify he's out of a job at the end of the season :D

[Srobify]

@DABSOSB Yes that is the rumour. I heard Toby Moody or Martin Haven will get the job.

[F1guitarfanatic927]

@Srobify too many insults, so little time

[hallucinantps3]

Alonso lost the championship because of that xD  great sato !

[vir123456]

That was one of the best things I had seen on track that year!

[jordie38]

This is why you never underestimate the Japanese in a good car.

[Srobify]

how old was that super aguri chasis.... think it was an old arrows!

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

you're thinking of the 2006 super aguri - the 2007 model was a modified honda RA106

[nitroboost8765]

@FormulaOneFan4Eva Well, yeah, but this was Sato at his absolute best! I wish he was more consistent though.....

[MrSchiessbude]

i miss sato :D

[TheLexyboy]

you can imagine the F1 drivers seeing Sato in thier mirrors thinking "oh for fuck sake, not HIM!" He was the Banzai master

[AubreySimpson17]

@TheLexyboy  As soon as Sato is then out of F1, this Kobayashi bloke comes along! =)

[nitroboost8765]

@AubreySimpson Every Japanese driver we have had in the past 10 years (including Nakajima) has either hugely impressed or done himself no favours at all.....Kobayashi is the more consistent version of Taku, although i wish Sato remained in F1 too...

[Stitch216]

@nitroboost8765 Great point. The only japanese driver I can think of who deserved his seat was Ukyo Katayama (early 90's) but he later suffered from a cancer in his back and lost his edge. Apart from him, Sato and Kobayashi are the only Japanese drivers who ever deserved their seats. Inoue has to be the biggest failure, closely followed by Nakajima.

[nitroboost8765]

@Stitch216 To be completely honest, Kobayashi deserves a better seat! So did Sato, despite being rather inconsistent..... But yeah, Taki Inoue and Kazuki Nakajima were among the worst, but the guy who took the crown was Yuji Ide

[Gunbei2]

@TheLexyboy LOL. No lie! Kamui is like him.

[PriestTheKillah]

Right after the incident involving Alonso and Sato, Alonso commented: "Ehhh, the FIA gave Sato eeeh Boost button, i thsink they trrried to stop me, Hamilton payed them and that ehhh cost me eehhh the championship...."

[TJolteon]

Lol. it's always somebody else's fault when it comes to Alonso.

[nitroboost8765]

@TJolteon right.....most probably lewis!

[TJolteon]

@nitroboost8765 That seems to be the most prominent trend. If something is going wrong, Alonso will moan at the Race Director that Lewis has done something to cause it. What a cock.

[nitroboost8765]

@TJolteon Especially "the black man" according to many alonslow fans

[TheLucasDalcim]

isto sim

sato d=

[jraybay]

@WarriorsDancee Youre a cunt stfu.

[andrew345612]

wow! anyone would predict Fernando Alonso, 2 time World Champion in a battle between him and Takuma Sato.

[JoshuaJohnKnight]

@WarriorsDancee Why isn't this comment in the highest rated comments

[caileyd13]

that cost him the championship.

[diogovn]

@caileyd13 No it didn't. Had he stayed ahead he would've gotten one more point to tie with Kimi. But Kimi had 6 wins and Alonso 4, so Kimi still wins. You can never attribute a championship win or loss to a single race really.

[puddingpants7]

@caileyd13 No it didnt.

[HollywoodSheen]

that pass cost alonso the championship

[DiegusMaximusMS]

@HollywoodSheen Actually FIA's nonsensical decision during the Hungarian GP cost him the championship. Or his accident @ Fuji, if we talk about his own mistakes

[Rudz91]

I love those 2 Sato Fans!

[BlueFox284]

@Rudz91 And their hats had the Super Aguri logo printed on them!!! XD I'd of paid a $100 bucks for one of those. . .lol

[Luis72205]

Bye Alonso



[pureguy1]

If sato and kobayashi were in f1 together , they will kick some asses like alonso :)

[nitroboost8765]

@pureguy1 They both have, individually! Did u see Kobayashi' s pass on alonso in Valencia 2010? It reminded me of good old Taku, as he drifted his way past Alonso and Buemi on the final lap...........

[tommykl]

When you hear the commentary from different countries, you see just how biased Allen was.

French: Sato's passed Alonso!

Italian: Sato is passing Alonso!

Japanese: Taku's gone past Alonso!

British: Alonso's let him through!

[ikke3wie3anders3]

wauw! sato is great driver!

[DocRoe92]

Oh boy, i still remember that!!! Go Sato!!!

[012TG]

This is what made the season for me! LOVED that race, and that moment...ach :)

[triplehhhmytimewwf]

Basically,this mistake cost him the championship

[FISHURMOMBALL]

sato is amazing driver. if only super aguri was a good team. he would be in contention for the championship

[Miggeex]

lol alonso

[harz1994]

That Super Aguri sounds brilliant!

[DenFalGhin]

OUGH...... nasty!!

[nortsoldier]

make a comeback sato

[S1eeperServ1ce]

Bring him back ! Sato was the Nuts!

[q8icarus]

and they say alonso is a champ

suck my dick bitches

alonso is a big cheater like real madrid !!

fuckin money and cheating

[BrooneyH2V]

Best race in modern time!

[f1baker]

I can't put enough of these! *****

[chazgazzer]

This shows why Alonso is the worst driver in F1- can't even beat a Super Aguri. What an asshole he is

[hikmetkarakas]

@SeanVaIen I support vettel, first of all. Alonso is a good driver, and the reason why sato could pass him was his breaks. Alonso's brakes were almost finished. IT was a technical issue and it can happen to any f1 pilot .

[Benuto10]

@SeanVaIen shut the fuck up

[chazgazzer]

@Benuto10 Good on you mate! He's doing the same to me too. Continue the threats to him!

[Benuto10]

@chazgazzer thanks

[chazgazzer]

@Benuto10 You're welcome :-)

[ursavostock]

I dont like Alonso as much as in his early Renault days but he is one of the world class best. But this video shows why its so sad that Sato is not in F1. Sato was good. He was so much fun to watch and made F1 so much better. Kind of like Kobiyashi is about to do. I would have loved to have seen both Kobiyashi and Sato driving for Toyota or Honda.

[Pompyroftw]

This video shows Alonso is a very mediocre driver. Allowing yourself to get overtaken like that by a driver in a inferior car is just pathetic!

[Notirez]

@Pompyroftw I don't think it was so much that, I think he just wanted to stay the hell out of the way of the legendary Sato :p

SATO!

[DePalmez]

Sato had tyres to race, Alonso's rubber was completely destroyed at the moment.

[chazgazzer]

@Pompyroftw I highly agree- Sato was much more exciting to watch and Alonso is utter crap

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

@Pompyroftw - Alonso had braking problems all race, but for some extraordinary reason people fail to acknowledge that...

Brilliant drive by Sato - I'm not knocking him in any way - but you cannot honestly tell me that this performance was subject to Alonso's driving... It wasn't...

[flipsidedogchop]

@FormulaOneFan4Eva well sato looked after his brakes better then didnt he? lewis wouldnt let sato make a fool outta him like that brake problems or not!

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

alonso had brake problems all race! it wasn't his fault! he had that problem from the get-go... the fact he didn't have a failure or an accident is quite commendable...

but why do i bother, every single time you reply to one of my comments, you spew complete nonsense...

"lewis wouldn't let sato make a fool outta him like that brake problems or not!" how do you know that? seems to me, you have a slight case of james allen syndrome...

[flipsidedogchop]

@FormulaOneFan4Eva your comments are of someone aged 16.....months......james allen syndrome? no thats just my unpaid opinion.

almost seems like you have "boner for alonso syndrome"...... in my unpaid opinion!

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

my age has nothing to do with anything and i can guarantee i'm more intelligent and have a better F1 insight than you...

and no, acknowledging that alonso had faulty brakes doesn't mean i have a boner for him, but you simply assuming hamilton would've performed much better under the same circumstances suggests the contrary for you...

[flipsidedogchop]

@FormulaOneFan4Eva your full of shit if you think your intelligent at all and your blind if you think you know more about the sport than me! every comment you leave is so bad and biased towards "aussie" mark webber & alonso, i just laugh everytime! seriously everytime! and your think you know more than me? maybe about writing a 1000 word essay for school but not f1!

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

hehe, it's funny because i did a 3000 word document on ayrton senna for physical education, i got an A too...

and once again, i'm not being biased towards alonso - i am a big fan however - because his brakes WERE failing...

the problem isn't me being biased towards anybody... i believe you labelled alonso something along the lines of "stupid, spanish cunt" on craigsimons93's video... so considering that, you're the biased one...

[flipsidedogchop]

@flipsidedogchop first of all congrats on your A for english! These days all the big oil and mining companys are looking for year 11 english reports!

second my comments on alonso are all said somewhat tongue in cheek, but your so sensitive......i agree alonso's good, very good but in my UNpaid opinion he is a cnt!

[Michaelingolfhansen]

It's OK to dislike Alonso...I myself find him arrogant!

But can you fanboys AND anti-fanboys just for a moment please, please be serious and stop writing bullshit!?

I'm so glad Im grown up and NOT one of you!...cause YEP...a 39 sec video clip is prove that he simply should have his license taken away!

Find the good arguments instead, and experience the pleasure of being taken seriously!

[mrmistercharles]

@Pompyroftw if the championship is at stake, i dont think its worth risking being clobbered out by a banzai jap

[Lukedfrt2]

@Pompyroftw Hamilton arse wiper ;)

[logitechz3]

@Pompyroftw very mediocre? Dude, you need to use the brain to start writing. If this shows that , your stupid sentence shows you are retard

[ImEastonianBitch]

@Pompyroftw

And this response shows how much of an idiot you are.

[MrTaffyMann]

@Pompyroftw Actually if you bothered to watch the whole race properly, you would know Alonso damaged the underside of his car at the first turn, and his tyres were completely inferior to Sato's aswell. Nevertheless it was still a very entertaining move.

[SaradominStrikes]

Go Sato!

[BlueFox284]

hahaha, the two Sato fans @ 0:28 XD True fans.

[jraybay]

Lol the only two super aguri fans in the whole circuit were able to witness the pass xD .

[OllieRetroSound]

A Super Aguri overtaking a McLaren! Damnnn!

[oniontom1324]

yh but its alonso so who cares

[OllieRetroSound]

Well Alonso is a great driver, one of the best in F1 I reckon, 2 time world champion, and also in the 07 season he only missed out by 1 point, so for a Super Aguri to overtake him, it wasn't bad!

[oniontom1324]

yh i will agree that alonso is one of the best drivers in f1, but after what he did to mclaren i dont respect him as much as i did

[jacx11]

J. Allen was so good...

[xxxsde]

are u crazy???

he was so unbelievably biased towards the british drivers...

he was so retarded at times

[jacx11]

Still, better than Legard.

[xxxsde]

well...he had his head so far into hamiltons ass that he can never look back..

commentary is not for biased people...
