McLaren driver Fernando Alonso proved once again that he is one F1's classiest gentlemen by making the dreams of a small boy come true.The former F1 world champion noticed a GIF of a young fan displaying passionate support for his hero during Saturday's qualifying session for today's Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona had gone viral.The diminutive supporter could be seen clad in a Mclaren jacket and with his arms aloft, punching the air in delight at Alonso's eighth-place finish.The ecstatic celebrations of the boy certainly warmed the hearts of all McLaren fans and Alonso was so taken by the boy's reaction that he tweeted F1 asking if he could meet his ardent fan the following day.Well, the 36-year-old Spaniard had his wish granted this morning when he had an adorable meeting with the boy in the paddocks before this afternoon's race.You can watch the brilliant moment in the video, where the pair have a photo taken together and Alonso even gifts him the cap he was wearing at the time.

Just when you can't love Alonso enough. Very classy stuff.

It has been a good few days for Alonso who tasted victory in the 6 hours of Spa- Francorchamps in the FIA world endurance championship last Saturday before his respectable qualifying position in a McLaren that has struggled to be competitive so far in this year's F1 championship.

The Spanish driver is hoping to compete in the famous 24 hr of Le Mans race later this summer and ultimately hopes to become the first driver to achieve the motorsport triple crown of the Monaco GP - which he has already won on two occasions - the Indianapolis 500, in which he competed strongly last year and the 24hr Le Mans race.

He, however, has no intention of giving up on his dreams of recapturing the F1 world title which he last won in 2006 when driving for Renault. 

The McLaren driver will certainly not lack for support from the stands and today's charming gesture is sure to win him some new fans as only the iciest of hearts could not have been melted by the sight of the veteran driver warmly greeting his fanatical young admirer.
