Pop sensation Taylor Swift‘s ever-growing popularity has crept its way into Formula 1 after a few drivers were spotted enjoying listening to the American singer. George Russell is one of the biggest Swifties on the grid and even Lewis Hamilton seemed to have joined the list. The seven-time world champion enjoyed listening to Swift but didn’t particularly like the tag of being a ‘Swiftie’.
The media activities are extremely fun and interesting during American race weekends, especially the US GP. Lewis Hamilton was partaking in a regular pre-weekend interview and was questioned regarding his interest in Taylor Swift as a singer. The 39-year-old reckoned that he wasn’t exactly a fan enough to be regarded as a ‘Swiftie’.
I didnt say I’m not a swiftie, but to be (fair), what is a Swiftie? You have to be pretty hardcore?
Lewis Hamilton said during an US GP interview
Hamilton had listened to one of the songs of Swift which he liked in particular. However, the former believed this interest wasn’t deep enough to grant him the label of being a ‘Swiftie’. As a result, the 39-year-old claimed that he didn’t know all the songs from Swift and didn’t listen to many albums from the American singer either.
Well yeah I just told you one of her songs that I love but iI dont know all her songs and I dont particularly listen to albums anymore.
Lewis Hamilton added

Lewis Hamilton highlights the ‘impossible’ task of upgrades waging good results at US GP
Mercedes has sustained a massive upturn in performance mid-way through the 2024 season. The team is finally able to compete for race wins after Lewis Hamilton managed two triumphs. However, Hamilton noted the impossible task of the W15 upgrades fetching good results for the team. Regardless, he wasn’t too worried as every team was on the same boat and faced difficulty at COTA.
It’s pretty impossible unless you’re just lucky and it [the upgrade] works from the get-go, It’s difficult but everyone’s in the same boat. That puts a lot of pressure and a lot of focus on simulation.
Lewis Hamilton told motorsportweek.com
Hamilton’s time with Mercedes will be up by the end of the 2024 season after he secured a move to Ferrari. As a result, he wants to end the season on a high with the German carmaker in Formula 1. The Briton has continued to aim for more race wins and further extending his legacy with Mercedes at the pinnacle of motorsport.
