Quiz: 1989 (McLAREN’s Version)

Inspired by the release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version)

We can only assume that Taylor Swift was referring to a McLaren Formula 1 car when she sang "I never wanted love, just a fancy car” in 2020 hit 'cowboy like me', but sadly, we can’t hand her the keys to the MCL60 as Lando and Oscar are busy with it in Mexico.

However, we can use her release of 1989 (Taylor’s Version) as a completely unnecessary inspiration for a quiz - especially given the recent revelation that Lando’s a "Swiftie". Although, hopefully, you’ll perform a little bit better than him and Oscar did in our recent Finish the Lyrics challenge video.

As well as being the year that Taylor Swift was born, 1989 was a particularly strong season for McLaren. Alain Prost beat Ayrton Senna to the Drivers’ Championship, and we won the Constructors’ title, but how much do you know about it? This is 1989 (McLaren’s Version).
