F1 drivers as Taylor Swift songs

Have you ever wondered what Taylor Swift song matches each Formula One driver? Well with Taylor in town and F1 back on our screens this weekend what better time to pair them up!

Lando Norris - The Alchemy

This season has already created so many Taylor laced memories, surely I’m not the only one that pictures Lando’s Miami win whenever I hear this song now! Like “where’s the trophy, he just comes running over to me” is exactly what the McLaren driver did after his maiden win, many more team-surfs to come!

Oscar Piastri - I Did Something Bad

“If [Alpine] talks s**t, then I owe [them] nothing” … again a very easy one to pick, cast your minds back to August 2023 to the ‘contract dispute’ between Mr Piastri and Alpine. That whole situation just gives me reputation vibes and I think it’s safe to say he chose the right team 😉

Lewis Hamilton - Long Live

There’s no better song to describe Sir Lewis Hamilton, the crowds most definitely have gone wild watching him over the past 17 years! The song is also about leaving a lasting legacy and Lewis is not just celebrated for his victories on the track but also for the legacy he’s building beyond it.

George Russell - Slut

Now I promise I’m not calling George a slut … in the words of Taylor Swift herself “in a world of boys, he's a gentleman”! George and Carmen are one of the cutest couples in the paddock and even the way he acted with Zhou at Silverstone in 2022, you just tell he is such a gentleman!

Charles Leclerc - I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

Monaco 2022, Hungary 2022, Canada 2023 and United States 2023 to name a few are more than enough to leave Ferrari fans heartbroken let alone the man behind the wheel! I really do feel for Charles and the amount he’s gone through with Ferrari but he proved he can do it back in May when he won his home Grand Prix!

Carlos Sainz - Exile

I originally was going to do Red because he’s leaving Ferrari (☹) and “loving him is Red” but I’ve seen so many outfits at the eras tour with “so many Sainz, so many Sainz” on them so it only felt right to pick Exile.

Pierre Gasly – Paris

Although we didn’t really get to see his PSG inspired helmet in action for long at Silverstone, in my eyes he is still Mr Paris so another perfectly matched song.

Esteban Ocon - No Body, No Crime

“Este's a friend of mine” need I say anymore … Estie Bestie <3

Max Verstappen - Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me

Me! I’m very afraid of little old Max Verstappen especially with how he’s been acting recently… have not forgiven him for Austria! This song is perfect for the current world champion and I think everyone on the grid should be a little afraid of him.

Sergio Perez - All Too Well

 “I'd like to be my old self again” … is probably exactly what Checo is thinking at the moment. It would seem as though if he doesn’t return to his old self he won’t be part of the Red Bull team for much longer ☹.

Fernando Alonso – Red

Perfect song to reminisce over Fernando’s 23 year F1 carer! “Losing him was blue” (Alpine), “missing him was dark grey” (McLaren) but “loving him was red” (Ferrari)!

Lance Stroll – Imgonnagetyouback

Saudi Arabia 2022, Azerbaijan 2022, Monaco 2023, Singapore 2023 to name a few could have been inspiration for “I'm an Aston Martin that you steered straight into the ditch” … now is Imgonnagetyouback about either of the Aston Martin drivers? Probably not but that along with “gonna smash up your bike” just makes it make sense to pick it for Lance.

Nico Hulkenberg – Love Story

Nico is one of the three drivers to be a dad, he met his now wife almost ten years ago and they along with their daughter (who has made many appearances in the paddock) give me Fearless and particularly Love Story vibes.

Kevin Magnussen – Lover

Another family man … a slight theme at Haas! Kevin is another driver who is a dad and he just gives me pure lover vibes when it comes to his wife and daughter. Lover is also about finding a place where you belong, after leaving and then returning to Haas in 2022, Kevin’s story mirrors this idea.

Yuki Tsunoda – 22

“I don't know about you, but I'm feeling twenty-two!” I don’t think this one needs much of an explanation but of course Yuki is driver number 22 on the current grid, so there’s no better song for him!

Daniel Ricciardo - Our Song

If you haven’t heard Daniel’s rendition of Our Song go search it up right now … confirmation Daniel’s a swifty right there! So therefore I think Daniel picked his own song for this article!

Alex Albon – Daylight

Alex is another one that gives me major Lover vibes, him and Lily are the CUTEST! I picked daylight for him because the love they have is definitely “golden”.

Logan Sargeant - Florida!!!

I initially wrote down You’re On Your Own Kid for Logan, but that made me too sad … so I changed it to Florida!!! because of course he is Mr Florida!

Zhou Guanyu - Style                

Zhou Guanyu has most definitely proved himself as one of the most stylish drivers on the grid, he’s even an ambassador for Dior. So he definitely has the right to claim ‘Style’!

Valtteri Bottas - Look What You Made Me Do

This song gives Valtteri vibes because it’s about responding to critics and those who doubt you. Bottas has faced criticism and doubts about his abilities, particularly during his time at Mercedes. However, like Swift in the song, he channels these criticisms into motivation, pushing himself to perform better and silence the doubters.
