Renault driver sees his country end 44 years of hurt

Ah, the perks of being an F1 superstar. We imagine that all Alonso had to do was click his fingers and a VIP ticket for the Euro 2008 final in Vienna magically appeared on his doormat.

Nando (and his mate) opted to wear Euro 2008’s hottest fashion accessory, a crisp white shirt - as sported by German head coach Jogi Loew and Turkey boss Fatih Terim - paired with a cute Spain button badge, just in case you weren’t sure who he was supporting.

After the game, football nut Alonso revealed that he had predicted that Spain would win the final 1-0. They did.

Good prediction skills, but that doesn’t stop you being a dirty diver…
