After Failed $27 Ploy, “Attention Seeker” Rebecca Donaldson Tosses Carlos Sainz’s Name in a Cringe Move

“You just want attention, you don’t want my heart,” sings Charlie Puth, and it appears Rebecca Donaldson might be humming along to that very tune. Now, as any dedicated fan of the F1 circuit would know, it’s the small details that often lead to the most thrilling revelations. And this story is no different. After weeks of whispers and secretive glances, Rebecca Donaldson has tossed Carlos Sainz’s name into the limelight with a move that’s got fans and followers cringing. What’s got the fans talking is a gray sweatshirt and a moment caught on a flight.

Carlos Sainz is currently soaking up the sun in Corsica with Rebecca Donaldson, the IT couple of F1. As if navigating the challenging Ferrari season and a breakup with Isabel Hernaez wasn’t enough, Sainz now finds himself in the eye of a storm. Donaldson went ahead and pulled a $27 stunt by opening a subscription on her Instagram for exclusive content just hours after being spotted with Sainz. If that was a startling move, what followed was a pure spectacle–she backtracked, canceling the subscription, and the once-exclusive content became as common as rain in Scotland. If that’s not playing fast and loose, what is?

But it is the gray sweatshirt that set the wheels in motion. According to an F1 gossip official on Instagram, Carlos Sainz was caught in a snapshot with Donaldson. They were seen sitting face to face, their heads touching, on a flight and Rebecca was spotted wearing a gray sweatshirt. But what’s the fuss about a piece of clothing, you ask? When a page for Rebecca asked her about where she bought the sweatshirt in a direct message, she replied, “It belonged to Carlos!” That was enough to set the wheels spinning!
