Alonso entered the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix as the subject of a bizarre rum﷽our - 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 TikTokꦕ post which included one of Swi𓆉ft’s songs.

The F1 broadcasters in the UK, Sky Sports, were very witty in how they addressed it⛄.

“I knew you were trouble,” he was aske♍d by an interview when he first arrived.

“Yes, probably,” he awkwardly replied.

Alonso was then cons💧tantly referred to as ‘22’ when he was on track.

One of his runs on Saturday was described as ‘swift’🐽 by Sky’s commentary.

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

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

We’re just astonished that nobody has referred to Alonso, so often a pantomime villain in the F1 paddock, as an ‘ant🔯i-hero’.

And if you haven’t understood any of these referenc🍬eꦓs, we suggest you check out Taylor Swift on Spotify…
