Fernando Alonso – Thumbs
Regarded as one of the best Formula One drivers, Fernando Alonso won the Formula One World Championship for two consecutive years in 2005 and 2006. Furthermore, he had also won in the 2018 and 2019 FIA World Endurance Championship, and the 2019 24 Hours of Daytona. His car racing skills are unbeatable and it raised the bar for other competitors. Another thing that made him memorable is his trademark thumbs-up sign.
It had a significant meaning throughout his career. You see, whenever the racer puts his thumb up, it was a message for his teammates that everything was going exceptionally well. Ferrari, a notable car company, realized the great value of this gesture and offered to invest in insurance for Fernando’s thumbs, worth $13.3 million dollars.
