While the F1 2203 season has now come to an end, it can very well be said that the racing world has seen some interesting rumors crop up this year. From all the wild gossip swirling around the first-ever Las Vegas GP to the sudden alleged reports that Toto Wolff and his wife Susie Wolff have been privy to insider information about the Formula One Management–the gossip mill in F1 has had a wild run this season. And one of the biggest rumors that one could simply not run away from is related to 42-year-old Fernando Alonso and the 34-year-old pop sensation Taylor Swift.
The first half of Formula 1 2023 turned out to be a saga of Fernando Alonso’s amazing displays of pace in his new Aston Martin racecar and also a chronicle of rumors related to his dating life. It all started right after news broke out that Taylor Swift had broken up with her British boyfriend Joe Alwyn at the start of the year. And in April, the popular Instagram gossip account Deuxmoi came out with some tea that mentioned a Brazilian news outlet claiming that Taylor Swift has been seen going out and about with Alonso.
The dating rumors got so much hype that it actually helped Nando catapult to instant TikTok stardom. He posted reels of him winking at the camera while Taylor Swift’s ‘Karma’ played in the background. The 5-second clip earned 4.5 million views, and even the F1 official account reacted to the virality of it.
