[ID: Two digital drawings showing Colin Becher and Teddy Vaughn. Each image has a bust and a full body drawing of each of them on a gray background. Colin is a skinny white man with short blonde hair and a receding hairline, a scruffy mustache and patchy beard, arm hair, blue eyes and eye bags. He's wearing silver stud earrings, rectangular glasses with yellow lenses, a pale blue button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up, blue cuffed jeans with brown plaid knee patches, a brown belt, blue and white striped socks, and brown sneakers. He also has a pen and an ID card hanging from his shirt pocket. His brow his furrowed in frustration in both drawings and his hands are balled into fists in the full body.
Teddy is a fat bald black man with dark brown skin and a goatee and mustache. He is wearing small gold hoop earrings, a pale yellow button down, gold tie, gold and brown argyle sweater vest, dark brown trousers, and a brown belt and brown shoes. He is smiling in both drawings and he is waving in the full body. end ID]

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This is the reason I originally made this post, but I thought I should also explain the origins of his card fascination first.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 :(

“Okay, little one, I know your potty training is not going well. As your caregiver, I’ve been thinking long and hard about what might be best for us moving forward,”
Momma continues as though I’m not squirming violently in front of her on my potty chair, having been placed there over an hour before and promised a special playtime reward if I could hang on until Momma came back.
“And I honestly think the learning curve of identifying when you’re full of humpies or when you’re full of tinkles is really getting in the way of being my sweet, obedient baby and doing your tinkles in your big kid potty like you want to. Would you agree?”
I nod vigorously, cheeks reddening as I am talked about like a baby, bladder and baby parts pulsing urgently.
“Good!” Momma advances and reaches into her bag, pulling out what looks like a regular stuffed teddy bear to me, light brown with a red yarn face and a matching red bow tie. I reach up for it eagerly and Momma grins, placing her finger under his bowtie and then passing him over to me.
I go to hug him to my chest until I hear a light buzzing coming from the bear's head. Puzzled, I look up to check in with Momma.
She’s grinning down at me, enjoying my surprise even as I strain to hold on.
“You see, my little one. We’re going to leave Mr. Tinkle Teddy in here,” she tugs him from my questioning grasp and flips him over, attaching his bow tie to a small hook on the front side of my potty chair, settling his body on the seat between my shaking thighs and his buzzing face pressed up against my stiff pee pee, “and then-”
Momma is interrupted by my moan as the pleasure from the vibrating plush relaxes my muscles just barely and a brief pattering is heard in the otherwise silent bathroom. I regain control and bounce lightly against the head of the bear, closing my eyes and moaning louder this time.
Momma keeps going, ignoring my leak but her eyes are fixed on my baby parts now, and her words come faster, more urgent.
“So anytime you have any kind of tingles, I want you to come in here and make humpies on your Tinkle Teddy, okay? You can make humpies without worrying about what kind of squirting you’ll do, all right? That’s too much thinking for a baby like you. That way you won’t have any more playtime accidents, and making your tinkles in the potty is a treat, not a punishment. Sound good, little one?”
I open my eyes, and look up at her adoringly and open up my mouth to agree, only for her to put one finger in my mouth. I close my eyes again and suckle her finger, whining and whimpering. I hump forward again, pressing my twitching little stiffie into Teddy. I gaze up at Momma with tears in my eyes, needing every kind of release desperately, but even more desperate to be good for her.
I’ve lost the ability to speak up, but Momma knows what I need, sliding a second finger into my mouth. She groans quietly, bringing her other hand down to my eye level to stroke herself over her jeans.
“Time to make potty, little one, let Momma hear how much you held inside you. Let me hear how good you were for me. Once you’re empty, you can come as much as you want on your Tinkle Teddy, okay?”
I nod as much as I can with her fingers in my mouth and my eyes cross a tiny bit when I follow Momma’s instructions and start piddling into teddy, the plastic potty instantly giving me away with the pattering and splashing noises echoing up from it.
“That’s it, baby,” Momma coos, withdrawing her hand from my mouth, unzipping her fly and letting her big, hard cock bounce free, aiming it towards my open lips, “let it all out for Momma, that’s my good baby.” She strokes herself to the sound of my stream, twitching in her hand when I shudder with relief. As my stream slows and only one unsatisfied need remains, I lean forward, pressing the buzzing Tinkle Teddy firmly against my pee pee and latch onto Momma’s grown-up stiffie.
It’s Momma’s turn to close her eyes and gasp as I nurse the tip of her throbbing cock, throwing her head back and trying not to thrust into her baby’s mouth, not removing her own hand from her length, since I’m too little to do anything other than suckle gently at her tip.
She keeps stroking and I keep humping, her most recent gift driving us both to the edge.
