Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. 
One of Fernando Alonso's most ardent supporters has won a dream job - to travel to all the Grand 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 Grand 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.
The driver wouldn't be my first choice, but hey, I'd take it!
