Alonso entered the F1 Azerbaijan Graܫnd Prix as the subject of a bizarre rumour - that he was dating the music superstar.

It 💎was seemingly a rumour that originated from the deepest pits of the internet gossip columns although Alonso stoked the fire with a funny TikTok post which included one of Swift’s songs.

♛The F1 broadcasters i✱n the UK, Sky Sports, were very witty in how they addressed it.

“I knew you were trouble,” he was asked by an interview when he 🦋first arrived.

“Yes, probably,” he awkwardly replied.

Alonso was then constantly refe♐rred to as ‘22’ when he was on track.

O🌱ne of his runs on Saturday was des♋cribed as ‘swift’ by Sky’s commentary.

David Croft said he was as quick as a ‘getaway car’ and hoped that it didn’t cause a⛎ny ‘bad blood’.

Ka𒀰run Chandhok joined in by slyly mentioning ‘blank Space’ꦆ , ‘style’ and ‘would’ve, could’ve, should’ve’ . He even called Alonso a ‘mastermind’.

We’re just astoni൩shed that nobody has referred to Alonso, so often a pantomime villain in the F1 paddock, as🐓 an ‘anti-hero’.

And if you🐽 haven’t underst♌ood any of these references, we suggest you check out Taylor Swift on Spotify…
