The Aston Martin driver was questioned by but replied: “I usually keep my personal 🎃life apart from my professional life. I prefer not to comm👍ent on that.”

Alonso had stoked the baffling (and uns💞ubstantiated) rumour with a hilarious TikTok post which involved one of the pop sensati🌟on’s songs.

He said about his quirky use of social﷽ media: “Maybe most drivers have a more political and professional profile in what they do and I put what I think, in the moment I feel it and in the way I feel it, I think it's more authentic and that people like it.

“I think I've always been funny and ironic 🗹on social media with my followers. 

“But it's true that now we live in a different world, more involved in social media, there are younger generations who start following🔯 F1 there.”

Sky Sports enjoyed the rumour by cheekily referring to ‘22’, ‘Swift’, ‘Getaway Car’ and ‘Bad Bloo♉d’ while Alonso was on track on Saturday.
