Fernando captioned the post: ‘Race week era,’ in a nod to Taylor’s current tour – titled Eras.
Adding fuel to the rumours, Fernando also took to the comments section to write: ‘Feeling 33,’ seemingly in reference to Taylor’s hit song 22.
Taylor is also 33 years old, but Fernando – who recently split from girlfriend Andrea Schlager – was instead referencing his hopes for his 33rd F1 win in his next race.
His latest post sent fans into a frenzy with many speculating whether it meant he is dating Taylor, while others shared amusing comments featuring Taylor’s lyrics.
‘Oh my god Taylor X Fernando confirmed????’ one commented.
‘Fernando please confirm or deny, was mastermind written about you,’ another asked, referencing a popular track on Taylor’s latest album Midnights.
‘Never did we think in our Wildest Dreams this would happen,’ Formula 1’s TikTok page jokingly wrote, mentioning Taylor’s hit tune from 2014.
‘Ohhhh Fernando knows ALL TOO WELL what he’s doing,’ another humorously penned.
Fernando and Taylor were first hit by rumours when DeuxMoi took to Instagram to share an anonymous email suggesting they had started dating.

New flames? Fernando and Taylor were first hit by dating rumours when DeuxMoi took to Instagram to share an anonymous email about the pair
It read: ‘A couple of Spanish magazines have been posting about TS [Swift] and Spanish F1 driver Fernando Alonso.
‘According to them, the couple has been seeing each other for a week now. Nothing serious tho since they are both recently single.’
In 2018, Fernando said his dedication to car racing had left him with ‘no friends, no family, no free time, no privacy, no wife and no kids’.
The rumours come after it emerged earlier this month that Taylor and her actor boyfriend Joe, 32, had split after six years together.
Since the news of their split, Joe has sparked romance rumours with Emma Laird after the actress, 24, shared a snap of him to social media.
Emma has been filming The Brutalist in Hungary with Joe and she took to Instagram this week to share a whole host of photos, including one of Joe on a scooter during a night out.
She captioned the snap: ‘Moments in March,’ along with a red heart emoji.
Emma has since disabled comments on the post after she was inundated with messages from social media users about the picture of Joe.
A source told The Sun: ‘Emma has been there for Joe since news of his split from Taylor emerged.
‘Joe struggles with fame and enjoyed hanging out with Emma in Hungary, where he wouldn’t be recognised.’
MailOnline contacted representatives for Joe and Emma for comment at the time.
Meanwhile, Taylor’s inner circle has reportedly unfollowed her now-ex Joe in the past week.
Seemingly taking sides with Taylor, her pals — including her brother, Gigi Hadid, and the Haim sisters — have all clicked unfollow on Instagram amid their shocking split.
Many Swifties — her loyal and eagle-eyed fans — claim that some of Taylor’s besties reportedly broke ties on Instagram just shortly after being spotted hanging out with Taylor.
Shortly after spending time with the Midnights singer, supermodel Gigi as well as the three Haim sisters reportedly all unfollowed The Favourite star.
It comes after DailyMail.com exclusively revealed that Taylor’s unparalleled star-power played a role in the end of her relationship with Joe.
A source close to the singer said: ‘The bottom line for the difficulties in their relationship was that Taylor’s career took priority over Joe’s – which can be awkward for a couple when it’s not balanced.
‘This drove them apart and ultimately, they both realized they were not on the same page anymore.’
The insider said: ‘It’s been hard for Joe trying to make it in Hollywood and not quite becoming leading man material while dating one of the most famous women in the world over the last six years.

‘It was easier during the pandemic when it was just the two of them, but once things returned to normal, Taylor Swift the superstar emerged, and their differences were even more apparent.
‘They really made a go of it and tried everything they could but ultimately were unable to save the relationship,’ the source concluded.
News of the pair’s split broke earlier this month, but a source told ET that Joe and Taylor amicably parted ways ‘a few weeks’ earlier.
‘The relationship had just run its course,’ the insider added. ‘It’s why [Joe] hasn’t been spotted at any shows.’
