Carlos Sainz seems to have had enough trouble on the track this year and in his personal life. Ferrari’s strategies have given him enough reasons to be heartbroken. On top of that, a storm brewed in his personal life as he broke up with his long-time girlfriend, Isa Hernaez. After 7 years of being in a relationship, they finally parted ways. Now, Sainz finds himself in the thick of things again as Hernaez mocks him, using a Fernando Alonso meme.

Alonso made the headlines a few days ago, as he was romantically linked with journalist Melissa Jimenez. Following that, it was reported that Alonso broke his ties with Sainz. This was because apparently, Sainz showed a romantic interest in Jimenez too. Now, using the same news as a weapon, Hernaez has added insult to Sainz’s injuries.

In an Instagram story shared by Hernaez, she is seen drinking wine. But next to the glass of wine, is someone holding a bottle of Estrella Galicia beer. This beer brand is Sainz’s personal sponsor for a long time. And she did not stop there. She captioned the story ‘El Plan’, referring to Alonso’s meme and their souring friendship.

Estrella Galicia is a Spanish beer company that has been associated with Carlos Sainz Jr. since his early racing days. Hernaez’s dig, using the beer brand, could make that a sore memory for Sainz.

There were two groups of fans reacting to the story. One who knew the smart reference to Sainz’s partnership with Estrella Galicia. And the other who had no clue how Hernaez’s story affect Sainz. Let us have a look at reactions from the former group:
