Ever since the summer break in F1 began, the Ferrari driver duo of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc have garnered a lot of eyeballs on their personal lives. Their new girlfriends have been the primary reason for this increased attention. Although it hasn’t all been for the good reasons too. Rebecca Donaldson who is Sainz’s new partner seems to often be attacked by fans on social media for unsavory reasons such as dating the Spaniard to get the limelight. Meanwhile, Leclerc’s latest love interest Alexandra Saint Mleux has faced a lot of backlash on one of her old tweets that was seemingly discriminatory. Apparently, this accusation narrative has carried on as the F1 caravan reaches the Mexican GP.
Rebecca and Alexandra have faced the cliched-old accusation of dating famous sporting personalities to gain good PR and media attention from fans. Of course, the unofficial nature of both their relationships with Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc only fuels speculation & gossip material for fans. Still, their consistent appearances at F1 race weekends are pushing fans to keep attacking the Ferrari drivers’ latest girlfriends.

Alex and Rebecca started appearing together on the F1 grid at the United States Grand Prix. Considering that the duo shares a common interest in modeling, it makes sense why they both have gotten along well, so quickly. However, with their entrance at the Mexico City track, fans online made some shocking comments, especially about their outfits.

Unfortunately for this duo, this isn’t the first time that the fans have besieged them with their brutally honest comments. Their ‘meet-cute’ at the US GP got heavily criticized and deemed fake.

“This looks so fake to me, but I also think the idea of dating for PR is so absurd, I don’t know what to think anymore” A somewhat relatable comment. Whether this looks fake or not is up to debate. The idea of dating for PR is indeed quite absurd, if true.
“PR for Ferarri is working so hard hehe” Whether this is an unofficial push from the Ferrari PR team or not, it seems as if Alex and Rebecca are not going to be left alone by fans to enjoy their relationships, amid all these eye-catching race weekend appearances.
“Doesn’t matter, they’ll be replaced by some new girlfriends soon. Both relationships are doomed, they’re just hired for publicity.” Just like this fan, many feel that the relationships of Leclerc and Sainz may again be short-term & just fizzle out in some time, reiterating their PR nature.
“A little overacted… they want to show that they are the new Isa and Charlotte” Yikes, nothing like being compared to the ex-partner, right? For those in the dark, Isa Hernaez and Charlotte Sine were girlfriends of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc till 2023. After they broke up, the girls still remained friends with each other and even took a vacation together after their respective breakups.

“They’re sharing clothes?”This fan also seems surprised after figuring out that both of them shared clothes with each other. As often F1 WAGs don’t really share their wardrobe and have a unique styling aura around them.
“rebecca’s dress looks like the one alexandra wore in monaco lol” This fan clearly has some keen eyes. But that being said, is nothing wrong with sharing clothes with your friend if you’re only going to wear them once or twice?
“They try too Hard..” Leclerc & Sainz fans can be the best judge of this!
