Fernando Alonso grinned as he addressed rumours that he is dating Taylor Swift.

The American singer-songwriter has been linked to the Spanish racing driver following her recent split from Joe Alwyn.

Alonso laughed as a reporter made references to Swift's songs as he pressed him on the rumours in an interview ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

"I answered already," the F1 driver said with a smile.

"I have nothing to say mate."
