It started with Fernando Alonso and Taylor Swift. Then it moved on to Lewis Hamilton and Shakira. And now, the latest driver to stir the rumor mill is Carlos Sainz. A few weeks ago, the Spaniard and his long-time girlfriend, Isa Hernaez, called it quits on their seven-year relationship. Earlier this week, there were rumors that he’s interested in Alonso’s girlfriend, Melissa Jimenez. But now, he looks like his eyes are set on the Scottish supermodel Rebecca Donaldson.
During his time off before the Austrian GP, Sainz is spending time in Italy. But, owing to a recent video posted on Twitter, he’s not alone. In the video, Sainz is seen closely followed by Donaldson as the two walk down a street in Italy. But this wasn’t the first time they had been spotted together. The rumors about the two started bubbling a little after his breakup with Hernaez when they were seen attending a party after the Monaco GP.

Carlos and Isa’s relationship was one that fans adored. And instead of hearing wedding bells, the F1 community caught wind of their breakup. Given it’s been just about a month since that, Carlos’ fans aren’t particularly happy to have spotted him with a new flame already. Even though his personal life doesn’t concert fans directly, they didn’t hold back when they saw the video of him and Rebecca.
Fans have mixed feelings about Carlos Sainz and Rebecca Donaldson
Like the Ferrari drivers can’t catch a break on track sometimes, the F1 rumor mill hasn’t caught a break in a long time. And Carlos Sainz has been a regular feature in it ever since his split with Isa Hernaez. Now that he’s found another love interest in Rebecca Donaldson, the F1 community has mixed emotions.
One user expressed how they’re struggling to keep up with all the rumors surroundings drivers’ love lives and asked who Sainz was seen with.

Another user replied to the comment saying, “Keeping up with Carlos 😭” referring to the popular show about the lives of the Kardashians, Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

A few fans wrote things along the lines that F1 (and Ferrari) drivers couldn’t bear to stay single for long periods, given how Charles Leclerc also started dating Alex mere months after his breakup with Charlotte Sine.
these guys are incapable of staying single for long
