On August 31, a young woman posted a video on TikTok in which her grandmother, named Paqui, sent a very direct message to Fernando Alonso: “I really like to see you run. I have always been very assiduous to your races, send me a shirt and You sign it for me. I’m an old lady now and I want to have something from you because I admire you a lot, Fernando”. The video quickly went viral and Fernando Alonso confirmed on his Twitter account that he would send her what the old woman asked for, but the relationship between the two has not stopped there.
The popular Twitter user Ceciarmi has shared a video on his social networks in which it can be seen how the woman, who is in a wheelchair, has been able to meet the Formula 1 driver in person, at the Jarama Circuit in Madrid. “We have achieved it. Grandma Paqui today has finally fulfilled her dream and has met Fernando Alonso in person. In addition, she has given him her signed cap,” says Ceciarmi on Twitter, where she thanked the pilot for the gesture .
In the video you can see how the woman gets excited when she sees Fernando Alonso. “I admire you very much,” says the woman, while Alonso tells her that she is “the most famous grandmother in Spain” after the video posted on the Internet by her granddaughter.
