From rumours of Fernando Alonso’s romantic entanglement with the pop superstar, rumours that were quickly disproven, to David Croft’s emerging obsession with Swift, F1 and the pop star are frequently linked.

However, a new F1 star has been unearthed as a secret Swiftie (the name attributed to her superfans) in a social media video.

Following Lewis Hamilton’s departure from the team, Russell will be hoping to emerge as Mercedes’ team leader in 2025 as he faces a new team-mate in youngster Andrea Kimi Antonelli.

Amongst a series of questions in the social media release, Russell was asked which Swift song was a favourite, where he revealed he was still ‘learning’ to be a Swiftie.

“I like a bit of feeling 22,” Russell said.

“Is it actually called feeling 22, or is it just 22?

“I think it’s 22, yeah, 22. I’m still learning my Swiftie stuff.”
