If you want to know what one of the most shocking off-track occurrences has been in the Formula 1 paddock over the past couple of months, it was Carlos Sainz and Isa Hernaez’s break up. The pair were together for almost seven years, and when their fans were expecting to hear wedding bells, they instead got to hear about their split. And less than two months later, the F1 community has all the evidence it needs to believe that the Spaniard is no longer single.

In the two-week break before the Austrian GP, Sainz headed to Italy. But he wasn’t alone. A few fans caught him walking down a street there, closely followed by Scottish model Rebecca Donaldson. Since then, rumors have been going around that the two are dating. Recently, there have been further updates in the investigation by fans, and there were more than just a couple of witnesses this time.
In a video posted on Twitter and Instagram, the Ferrari driver exits a Ferrari building and gets into his $338,000-worth Ferrari 296 GTB. But the car wasn’t what caught the attention of the numerous fans gathered around Carlos. It was his co-passenger—his rumored girlfriend, Rebecca Donaldson. Although neither has confirmed the rumors, it didn’t stop fans from expressing their disapproval on Twitter and Instagram.
“I feel sorry for him”: Carlos Sainz fans are done defending him for his actions
Carlos Sainz was one of the most liked drivers on the grid, and he still is. But after rumors that he cheated on Isa Hernaez and the pair eventually broke up, many people don’t look at him the same way. And the fact that he is already rumored to be dating someone else less than two months after the end of a seven-year relationship didn’t help his case. And fans expressed just how this sat with them.
One fan wrote: “I feel sorry for him, he totally destroyed his own reputation”
Another wrote: “I don’t like this, I love him and I like Isa. This doesn’t sit well with me 😢”
Many others supported Isa over her decision to split with Carlos. They said things like: –
“My respect for him is gone, poor Isa, he didn’t deserve a great woman like her”
“I feel for isa, but it’s the best thing that could happen to her, he doesn’t deserve a great woman such as her, my respect for carlos is gone”
A lot of fans are still holding out hope that Carlos isn’t in a real relationship with Rebecca. Considering the model recently did a commercial for Ferrari, many think it’s just a PR relationship.
“She did a commercial for Ferrari, so lets hope all this is a PR stunt🥲🥲”
“I don’t know if Carlos and Rebecca are a real couple but she was promoting a Ferrari months ago, maybe it’s a PR relationship🤷🏻♀️”
One Twitter user expressed how they hated that he started dating less than two months after his breakup with Isa.
2 months apart from breaking up with 6 years relationship…..ugh men https://t.co/E2Ge0VoBbR
