Fernando Alonso & His Relationship With Cards

I'm sure we're all familar with the cards on the back of Fernando's Vegas GP helmet by now, but did you know his relationship with cards goes a lot deeper?

I. Magic Tricks

You've probably seen or heard someone at least mention Fernando's propensity for card tricks. As far as I can tell he was doing them(publically) as far back as 2003 all the way to as recently as 2018. Even once performing a card trick, with a condom and a teddy bear(!??!?!??!!), in front of Valentino Rossi who said "How was that possible?"(x)

But how did this start? According to James Allen, "Fernando admits to having been heavily influenced by his grandfather, a mercurial figure, who taught him magic and card tricks, still one of his passions away from the race track."(x) And I'm not sure the validity of this one, because I couldn't find an actual source, but apparently he once said: "My parents are responsible for the two things I like doing most - driving and magic tricks. They bought me my first go-kart and a magician's kit."

In several interviews he described it as his hobby off track, and that he loved learning new tricks and surprising others in the garage with them! So clearly cards are pretty important to him both as a hobby but also to who he is as a person since they've been with him just as long as racing has.

II. Card Symbolism in His Helmets

This is the reason I originally made this post, but I thought I should also explain the origins of his card fascination first. As I said, we probably all remember the cards on the back of his helmet in Vegas, but did you know that wasn't the first time he had cards on the back of his helmet?

From 2008-2013, he used to have a pair of cards on the back of his helmets. The symbolisms of the cards themselves as well as the evolution of their design is really fascinating to me! Even more so with the recent development of the card choice in 2023.

Fernando said he wanted to reference his two titles in some way on the back of his helmet and after his friend sent him several ideas, he decided on having two cards(an ace of clubs and an ace of hearts, sometimes pictured with 05 and 06 on them as well), saying: "I picked the cloverleaf [the ace of clubs - Ed] to give me luck, but the only pity is that it doesn't have four leaves!"(X)

2008.

Here's the very first appearance of the cards! They're displayed flat, with the 05 and 06 clearly visible

2009.

Very similar to 2008, but with a slightly different design, and they're maybe a bit more straight with less shadow?

2010.

This is the first major change! I was sad they didn't have the years on them anymore, but then I realized they're sparkly to match with his signature lightning bolts on the top of the helmet!!

2011.

Honestly I'm still somewhat unsure if this is the actual 2011 helmet? It's pretty difficult to find clear photos of the back of helmets from older seasons. It's easiest to find them on replica sites or auction sites so I'm not 100%? But anyways, I like that this has the championship years on the underside of the cards

2012.

This is when I started getting weirdly emotional about the helmets. Do you see how they've progressed from being a centerpoint to being curled up and sad at the bottom of the helmet? Not listing the year anymore??

2013.

Same thoughts as 2012. And after this season, they cease to exist (just like his ferrari chair in the garage, WOAH CALLBACK), until cards make a reeappearance in his Vegas helmet, albeit in a different form

2013 Monaco(Honorable Mention):

For some reason 2013 helmets were easier to find proper pictures of, so I happened to witness this absolute beauty. The creativity of this helmet genuinely blows me away??? Wanting to keep the card motif, but making sure to incorporate it into the rest of the puzzle piece design?? Mwah! There was another special 2013 helmet but they didn't change the cards at all so I really applaud this one

2023 Las Vegas(The Return of The King):

The magnificent return! But look! The cards are different cards! Instead of being two aces, it's now an ace of hearts, a four of hearts(his driver number of course!) and, the, now iconic, representation of himself as a Joker. I literally could not believe my eyes when this helmet was released and I saw the Joker card, what a fucking silly old man....I really wonder if he felt nostalgic having cards on his helmet again or if he didn't think about it all and was just like, "ah cards because Vegas!!!"

III. Why Does This Matter?

*The rest of the post was factual, this is moreso my personal thoughts on the symbolism of the cards/designs

This post spawned from me recently watching the 2010 Bahrain gp and noticing "hey wait a minute...are those CARDS ON THE BACK OF HIS HELMET!?" It's a really tiny detail that's unfortunately covered up by the HANS device pretty much whenever he's wearing the helmet, so it's really difficult to spot! But I became fascinated with the fact that he had cards on his helmet before that recent helmet, and now here we are!

There's something to me about how the design of the cards evolves over the course of six seasons from the cards being front and center to being smaller, more folded up and closer to the bottom of the helmet. As I said, the 2012-2013 ones genuinely made me depressed because it feels, symbolically, like his hopes for getting another Ace are becoming more and more unlikely and falling away until they eventually fall falt and fade away entirely after 2013 and disappear for basically a decade.

But when they return? They're not the same cards! Instead of representing Fernando's championships, they now represent him as a person, displaying his driver number and his persona of being a Joker!! Though I do think it's interesting he happened to keep the Ace of Hearts, even though he talked more about the Ace of Clubs before. I'm not sure it's actually this deep in reality, but I like to think that it's him not letting his championships(and the lack thereof) define him, but rather letting who he is as a person shine and be the centerpoint instead! But on a sadder note, as @suzuki-ecstar said to me, maybe the Aces aren't there anymore because he's lost all hope for a chance at a third Ace entirely :(

#yes its finals week and im up to my eyes in coursework but instead decided to spend like 5 hours researching and writing this post #nah bcs i actually genuinely put more work into this then I think I have all semester dsfjdskjg #that thing about him using a condom and teddy bear in a magic trick genuinely had me crying with laugher. actual tears rolling down my face #<- HOW!?!? WHAT WAS THE TRICK?? its literally inconceivable to me what he did. oh if only there were pics UGH #anyways!! this post was a lot of fun to make!! i really really love the symbolism and design of helmets so this was a rly fun project #and i also went down a lot of rabbitholes while make this and saw many very weird articles from yore #i feel like i make an equal amnt of deranged posts abt seb and nando but i dont know why nando is gifted w all my well researched projects #<- i.e. chair post. that was the same level of research as this one but at least this one i could find actual sources about.... #idk theres smth about the extremely long history of nando's history that evokes research posts like this KLAJSLSKDJ #theres just so much that i dont think I ever really see people discussing! so i must create. #haha what was that joke tag i wanted to make abt my researched posts? I think: #normal posts that catie normally makes in a normal fashion #<- one day ill go back and actually tag posts w that. bcs the amtn of research compared to my actual schoolwork is so unwell #fernando alonso #fa14 #f1 #formula 1 #catie.rambling.txt #we do a little bit of f1

That would be easier for us all wouldn't it? #they kiss and sob and kiss and lie outside in the flowers for many hours in that one. and then there's 'Deep End' where it turns out #way way way way more time and words is needed for this actually and that's upsetting for everyone. #the destruction of the hat is certainly another path to take. Can you make this work without that hat going up in flames? #something you have always had and have been clinging to will have to be destroyed. You have to lose something now.

it would be very amusing if season 6 does end up having amelie & felix stay in paris for many reasons, but one of my particular favorites is that since felix and adrien are literally identical, I imagine it might be hard for felix to go outside without getting ambushed by dozens of fangirls mistaking him for adrien only to be met with a feral yorkshire terrier of a british boy

#ml #miraculous ladybug #adrien agreste #felix graham de vanily #does the accent mark matter actually? idk #félix graham de vanily #felix fathom #sorry to deadname you king #felix #adrien #<- blog tags #to my knowledge i dont think anyone has ever known of felix being in paris at all really #and iirc he doesnt really have a public presence he's just rich #I mean obviously in england he would be known but this is fucking france #so that being said one could imagine the fangirls reaction upon seeing a seemingly well-dressed adrien... #felix probably busting out all of the britishisms upon being bombarded by tweenage girls #get your bloody hands off of me you wanker etc #I know there's no canonical evidence of him using britishisms. I just think it's funny. #can you imagine if he only used them when he was really mad? #(even funnier is if he had a mouth like a sailor but this is a kids show and they wouldnt do that obv) #indiposts

Need opinion of yours: Scout and/or Spy with Braces?

Definitely one of my fav headcanons!! I think it'll be funny to have another father-son similarity between Scout and Spy but with t e e t h (like father like son <3)

Reference pic:

#tf2 #team fortress two #my art #tf2 spy #i also use to have braces so it's a nice little projection :) #i dont actually know if crooked teeth is genetic?? idrk.. maybe #also does anyone know why we rarely ever see adults with braces?? Is that just me?? #I don't think Ive ever seen an adult with full on braces for some reason. Is there like an actual reason for that or is it just me??? #ANYWAYS spy with braces is totally awesome <3 :D #should i tag this as disabilitymercs? #asks

Anyone else remember the little 88x31 buttons from older internet days? I've been remembering them a lot lately.

I make ffxiv ones in msp when I'm in queue or my bf is flying me around between quests.

#shoutout to anyone else who actually uses leg graze #i originally did just the two korpokkur but i made the yukinko this afternoon and its easily my favorite of the 3 #and i love the moogles but they dont really fit as a button? maybe i should just make a few more stamps as a series #im not happy with the tomestone - the circuitry feels out of place to me. i want to find some other way to frame it in the button #carrots was last night because we were working on lopporit msq :3 #i love the goobbue. i love goobbues ever since ffxi they're so chill #i wanna make a version of the rotting goobbue in amdapor #i love that one too #my art #88x31 #idk what to tag this... its technically pixal art but i always have imposter syndrom bc i see people do INCREDIBLE pixel art illustrations #and this is just like... myspace webring hobbyist stuff #ffxiv #ill post them on twitter and bsky when i do a few more i think - right now theyre only in my carrd #and carrd makes them look really crunchy. im scared what tumblr is gonna do to them when i hit post #and i just really really really hate the sound /sweep makes - i think it should count as griefing to afk in public spaces doing it #but thats just my unpopular opinion as someone with audio sensitivity. the emote should not loop

obsessed with how clearly terfy weird bitches on here will say shit when called out for saying terf shit like "um well ACTUALLY maybe you think i sound like a terf because you identify normal feminists as terfs?? 🤔"

and then make absolutely no effort not to use transmisogynistic rhetoric and say weird shit that very very obviously is transphobia, like using terms like "trans rights activists" and "trans identified" and think they're so sneaky and nobody notices?

yeah i don't support all women. some of you bitches are terminally stupid

#crow.txt #like what kind of stupid ass gotcha. you are actively setting any real feminism movements back #way to go genius. youre fucking annoying #mfs think because they dont actively put terf/radfem in their bio or use those tags flagrantly that some of us cant read otherwise #truly the dumbest cunts on earth. like actually for real. embarrassing #i wish the term terf would silence yall im sick of hearing anything you bitches ever say #it hasnt lately but every time someone saying some weird terf shit had followed me im like girl are you lost? gtfo. #*hasnt happened lately im not fixing that #got mad in the shower bc i remembered seeing a post like this like 12 hrs ago and its still on my nerves #like at least be honest with yourself and stop lying and wasting anyones time more than you have to #how are you gonna be so vile and not own up to it. dont you think weve got like trans cooties dont you want everyone to block you. go on

Does Ao3 have a reporting system for mistagged fanfics? I am sick and tired of going to the LotRO section on Ao3 only for the vast majority of fics there to actually be Rings of Power or Shadows of War/Mordor fic that the author decided to just tag with every LotR-related tag imaginable for some reason.

#this is such a new problem too #five years ago this never happened #i would also accept a permanent block system so i dont have to filter out the same authors ever time #anyway hot take: you should almost never have more than 2 fandoms tagged on an ao3 fanfic unless you are actually writing a crossover #example: a lotro fic should have 'the lord of the rings all media types' and 'the lord of the rings online' #a star wars fic should have 'star wars all media types' and 'star wars episode 1 the phantom menace' #UNLESS it actually directly deals with events from other movies too #like if it tells a story that starts during the phantom menace but then eventually extends to attack of the clones #then you can also use attack of the clones #but and this one is just personal taste i dont think you should tag it attack of the clones until you actually get to that content #anyway. #im just very tired because when i go to the LOTRO page its because i want to read LOTRO fanfic #there oughta be a separate archive for lotro fanfic how much does webhosting cost it cant be THAT hard #(every day i see more and more independent archives absorbed into ao3 and it makes me sad) #(its good that there are more backups of these archives but it often heralds the original archive shutting down) #the internet needs more decentralized niche fandom sites not one conglomerate
