[TheBook]

The FIA deems Alonso's new helmet unsafe to race with.

 

[FutureF1]

Fernando is obviously upset as he discovers his paper hat is more aerodynamic than his McLaren...

 

[SVT Cobra GT]

Fernando was disappointed after the team announced it would bring surprises to Suzuka.

 

[Flex0r]

Fernando's new helmet generates a lot of Frownforce.

 

[TRGTspecialist]

Despite replacing his helmet with a makeshift sailor hat, Fernando denies the McLaren handles like a boat.

 

[Pezzarinho17]

"GP2 Helmet!"

 

[Ryk]

Fernando "Bloodninja" Alonso updates his status
"I've put on my robe and wizard hat..."

 

[Jimlaad43]

So Vettel's getting closer to the back wing of your Honda
That I know cannot perform
Shame that you are a backmarker
Lift right off before the corner
Or Sebastian will moan
On the radio to Charlie
"We ain't ever getting Blue Flagged"

 

[Peter.]

"Here's your costume for this year's company play, Fernando."

FA:"What are we reenacting this year?"

"Titanic"

 

[DK]

Fernando's excitement about F1's new Sorting Hat vanishes after telling him he'll be in McLaren.

 

[Touring Mars]

I used to own an Origami business - but it folded

 

[zed300]

Fernando's diplomatic face, keeps McLaren's 2017 details under the hat.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Alonso wears a paper hat made by a 5-year old, in order to understand whether or not the Power Of Dreams is more powerful in childhood than in adulthood...

Final Entry, Parc Fermé

 

[Ryk]

Fernando reads a short text message from Ron Dennis...

"Greetings McLaren Driver Unit Zero-One-Four - Your current Cranial Impact Protective Device is suboptimal and provides a negligible amount of resistance to exterior kinetic forces upon it. The team requests your attentional awareness to replace your current indequate head specific equipment and return to the previous itteration of the afformentioned item which, in line with all statistical data sets concluded was an immaculate and far superior product within the environs of head protection. Message ends."

 

[XJ40]

Alonso wins! (The hat in the Christmas cracker)

Final entry

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Oops

 

[Famine]

"Oh. That was an Unhappy Meal."

 

[zed300]

Hmm this hat is so Honda atm. Does what a hat a hat does, just not the way I want.

Saishū kinyū

 

[prisonermonkeys]

"Well, at least Honda can't make me look any stupider ... can they?"​

 

[Soundtrack]

"Maybe I can get rid of this with a Bunny Rabbit filter…"​

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Fernando: I am not too pleased with my Japanese anime' costume; I'd rather an oversized foam cowboy hat!

 

[Legro]

Alonso in Wonderland - Chapter 12: Mad Hatter's Revenge.

 

[Roger the Horse]

1/4 odds that Fernando lost at beer pong, 1/6 that it was Scalextric.

 

[Jimlaad43]

I'm going to have to do this again, sorry.
@Touring Mars

 

[Touring Mars]

Sorry - I'm very busy at work these days and frequently away from a computer - and I can't compile these posts on my phone... the deadlines are only to help me to keep things moving but they are not a guarantee that the poll or the next round will happen immediately after the set deadlines. Unfortunately my circumstances this weekend and current work load mean that the poll will probably be posted tomorrow evening, so apologies for the delay but I can't do much about it I'm afraid....

 

[BlacqueJacques]

Appreciate all that you do Touring Mars
