Jun.13 (GMM) One of Fernando Alonso's most ardent supporters has won a dream job -- to travel to all the grands prix and test sessions with the Renault driver and report his experiences on a blog.
More than 35,000 potential candidates applied for the novel role - an initiative of the Spanish arm of the team's title sponsor ING - via the internet.This week it emerged that Barcelona-born Alvaro Adema, a 23-year-old journalism student, was selected as the "professional fan" by former Spanish F1 driver Luis Perez Sala and Alonso's manager Luis Garcia, and finally approved by 26-year-old Alonso himself.Adema's travel expenses will all be paid for, and he will receive a cool 3000 euro per month salary."I will explain what happens from the inside; my own experiences as I live the grands prix," he said.He said his goal is to remain in the formula one paddock full time."I've always dreamed of being a formula one journalist, so if I can I would like to stay inside this world when everything ends," Adema added.
