El Plan meets The Thinker.

 

[Redneckchef]

Finding himself in a long forgotten grid spot leads to a re-think of El Plan

Alonso is in deep thought trying to work out who superglued his finger to his chin.

 

[rsh]

El Thinker, thinks about tinkering his strategy for the race

 

[Jimlaad43]

"So remember the grid procedure. Park in gridspot 2, engage brake lock, select gear, engage clutch, wipe off nosebleed from Altitude Sickness for being this high"

 

[XJ40]

Alonso tries to remember where the front row of the grid is.

 

[Touring Mars]

Alonso: "I think I hit a groundhog earlier, was it OK?"
Alpine: "Yes, it was fine..."
Alonso: "Oh that's a relief. What's for lunch?"
Alpine: "Erm... meat casserole"

Little did Fernando know, he was just two seconds away from being attacked by the infamous Canadian stick beaver.

[Pupik]

El Cid with a lid falls mainly down the grid.

 

[Famine]

Fernando Alonso has to resort to holding his dislocated jaw in place in order to keep up the pretence he's the only driver on the grid not suffering from porpoising.

 

[desmodan]

Turn 1 or not Turn 1?
That is the question.
