If the old adage is to be believed, then F1 driver Fernando Alonso has been brought some good luck ahead of Monaco after getting crapped on by a bird.

Fernando Alonso is heading into the Monaco Grand Prix this weekend with winning on his mind. And it looks like he may just be in luck! No one likes to get crapped on, of course, but it is said to be a sign of good luck if a bird poops on you.

That’s exactly what happened to Alonso heading into the weekend. Formula 1 did us the wonderful favor of showing the video in slow motion for our viewing pleasure.

Alonso’s Aston Martin team will give the dominant Red Bulls a run for their money, but will also be up against Ferrari, who has been on pole for the last two Monaco Grand Prix. The first and second practices will be today, Friday, May 26 with the third practice and qualifying to follow on Saturday, May 27, and finally the race on Sunday, May 28.
