Ah, Formula 1, a sport of fast cars, quick pit stops, and… dramatic fan reactions? The Japanese Grand Prix’s FP2 session turned into more of a spectacle off the track than on it! Who could’ve imagined that watching Carlos Sainz & Charles Leclerc‘s girlfriends in the Ferrari garage would spark such a passionate debate?

It wasn’t the action on the circuit that caught everyone’s attention. No, instead, all eyes (and comments) were focused on Alex and Rebecca, who seemed to be… well, just chilling? There they were, on national television, giving off an almost disinterested air while watching the action.

An Instagram video, which has gone viral, captures two of the most talked-about individuals of the Japanese Grand Prix: Alexandra Saint Mleux and Rebecca Donaldson. The video, with its relatively simple and unassuming nature, has garnered a whirlwind of attention. As the camera pans, Alex can be seen immersed, standing alone, and gazing intently at the screen displaying the live race events. She seems to be lost in the world of revving engines, a complete contrast to the swirling comments about her alleged disinterest in the sport.

On the other hand, Rebecca is seen socializing and standing with a group of people. She appears more engaged with her immediate surroundings than with the ongoing race, leading many to wonder about her interest in the F1 spectacle itself.

The fact that the video simply captures them “existing” in the Ferrari garage is precisely what made it such an intriguing watch for many fans. With the non-stop action on the racetrack, capturing these serene, almost everyday moments off the track offers fans a glimpse into the often unseen, personal side of Formula 1.

But with every viral moment, comes a myriad of interpretations.

What do the fans have to say? – “Ferrari’s new WAGS”

Ah, the ever-vocal F1 fanbase! Their observations often add layers of intrigue to seemingly ordinary moments. Diving straight into the comments section under the video, it’s clear that fans have a keen eye for detail and aren’t shy about sharing their interpretations.

One fan humorously pointed out,

“We can see that it’s not the atmosphere of any of them. I think maybe they don’t even like watching the F1 hahaha.”

Another added fuel to the fire,

“Why does it look like she doesn’t want to be there 😂.”

Surely, there’s room for everyone in the F1 world, but many fans were pining for the old days. Amidst the discussions, comments popped up about missing Charlotte and Isa.

“Comments hating on Ferrari’s new WAGS while even Kym posted missing Charlotte and Isa 😂” – talk about a throwback!

But not all comments were shaded with nostalgia or playful jabs. Some fans were clearly smitten, with one succinctly saying, “She’s stunning.”

The debate soon took an interesting twist as the extrovert vs. introvert battle found its way into the discourse. Given their reactions, or lack thereof. The age-old personality tug-of-war had a whole new setting!

And as always, there’s that one fan who has a moment of regret. “I just saw that moment on TV but I couldn’t record it 😭.” Chin up, buddy! There’s always the next race.

Then again, in the vast sea of comments, you’ll always find a few that aren’t so sweet. Like this one – “Rebecca gives me the ick.” Ouch, that’s got to sting.

A particularly entertaining observation caught the mood perfectly: “Alex was in another galaxy😂😂.” This comment, humorously emphasizes Alex’s seemingly distant demeanor. Was she daydreaming about distant stars or just lost in her own thoughts?

In the end, it was just another day in the dynamic world of Formula 1. The race may be about cars speeding on tracks, but the real action? Sometimes, it’s right there on the sidelines.
