This three-week break in racing gave the world of F1 not a lot to talk about and minimal excitement. However. there is one piece of news that emerged during this break that not only captured the attention of not only F1 fans but the entire world. In the most unlikely scenario, a rumor hit social media linking American singer Taylor Swift and our very own Fernando Alonso. The rumor gathered much steam and even reached the two-time world champion himself. How do we know that? Well, his latest social media activity is proof of that as the Spaniard engages in some masterful trolling.
The two stars recently became single after separating from their respective long-term significant others. However, one cannot picture the two together. The fans were on the same page as well when the rumor hit the social media streets. In fact, when the rumor gathered steam, the entire world of social media jumped to ridicule the link-up.
Although this, in turn, gave the rumor a lot of traction, and word reached Alonso as well. This gave the Spaniard a perfect opportunity to troll the entire world.

How did he do it though? Let us tell you how. Alonso showcased his excitement for the race weekend via a five-second video on TikTok. Nothing out of the ordinary, just a caption that read, “race week era” and a wink coupled with a song. However, the song playing on Alonso’s TikTok is Karma by Taylor Swift, and the Spaniard winks exactly when the term boyfriend is mentioned in the song. Well played, maestro!
This masterful trolling has got everyone on social media talking about the rumor again whilst they can’t help but appreciate the subtlety of it.
