SUMMARY
- Fernando Alonso gets TikTok competition from Esteban Ocon as he posts a video featuring Tom Hiddleston.
- Fernando Alonso won the 2023 TikTok public figure of the year.
There are not a lot of F1 drivers posting entertaining content on Social Media. However, in 2023, we saw Alonso with some of the most popular content on TikTok. However, Esteban Ocon seems to be throwing his name in the hat as he posts his first TikTok content in 2024.
One of Fernando’s most popular TikTok posts last year was a video of him with Taylor Swift’s Karma playing in the background. At the time, there were a number of rumors suggesting that Fernando and the billionaire pop star were dating. However, none of these rumors were proven and are likely to be false. Today, Swift seems to be dating NFL star, Travis Kelce.
Esteban Ocon to be the next TikTok personality after Fernando Alonso?
Weeks before the start of the 2024 season, Esteban Ocon posted his first TikTok with some help from Tom Hiddleston. Although the British actor was not there in person, the video involved a scene of him from the Avengers movie.
Last year, we saw Fernando win the TikTok award for public figure of the year 2023. It looks as though Esteban is looking to take that title away from the Spaniard in 2024.

Ocon is currently heading into the 2024 season with Alpine with hopes to challenge Aston Martin and McLaren. In 2023, Alpine were far off where they hoped to be. They were closer to the bottom than the top. However, they will be looking to turn things around this season.
Although the team has shown to have potential, it is unlikely that the team will be able to take the challenge up to the top teams. However, time will reveal what sorts of developments that team has been doing in the winter break.
This F1 team is sponsored by TikTok
Aston Martin took on TikTik as one of their sponsors for the 2023 season. This was one of the reasons Fernando Alonso was so active on the social media platform during the 2023 season. In that same season, Alonso also managed to stand on the podium 8 times. This was the highest for him since the 2013 season when he went 9 times while driving for Ferrari.
In 2024, Aston Martin will be hoping to do better and get their other driver on the podium as well. Lance Stroll had a poor season in 2023. With the team’s new sponsorship with Aramco taking power this year, he will have to prove that he can deliver on a consistent basis. Or else, there is a good chance that he will lose his seat for the 2025 season.
TikTok will continue to stay as a sponsor for the Aston Martin team as they try to take another step and fight for a win this season. It will be interesting to see how the team develops the car for 2024. Do you think Aston Martin will retain the same driver lineup in 2025? Post your answers in the comments section below.
