On March 24, Carlos Sainz surprised Formula 1 fans by winning the Australian Grand Prix after the unexpected withdrawal of Max Verstappen due to a failure in his vehicle’s engine. This victory came just two weeks after the Spanish pilot had to undergo an urgent operation for appendicitis, which is why he was really proud of the achievement.
Happy, content and excited by the victory, Sainz did not hesitate to celebrate his first place in style with the entire Italian team and with his teammate Charles Leclerc, who achieved a more than deserved second position in the race.
Although the pilot captured all the attention at the celebration, many of his followers could not help but notice his partner, the model Rebecca Donaldson, who hugged the athlete, visibly excited, and then kissed him passionately in front of the cameras.
The young mannequin and Sainz began dating in 2023, shortly after the pilot put an end to his relationship with Isa Hernáez after six years together. This breakup gave a lot of talk, since different rumors began to circulate about an alleged infidelity of the 29-year-old young man. ”The numerous cheating rumors surrounding their relationship could have been the straw that broke the camel’s back,” sports journalist Matthew J. Thompson said at the time.
Although the end of Sainz and Hernáez’s courtship came in June, weeks later the man from Madrid could be seen on a boat with different friends and the model Rebecca Donaldson, who quickly won him over. For a long time, the couple decided not to confirm their romance, but the young woman began to attend different circuits in Mexico or Silverstone, something that set off all the alarms.
Finally, last January, the racing driver made public his relationship with the model at the Dakar Rally, a motorsport event where they attended to support Carlos Sainz’s father.
Rebecca is a 28-year-old Scottish girl who began dedicating herself to the world of fashion and modeling when she was 17 years old. After participating in Top Model UK, the young woman worked with big brands such as Marie Claire or Vogue. In addition, she decided to start a business and created her own sportswear company: Muse Activewear.
In the world of the heart, she is known for having had a brief but intense romance with Scott Disick, Kourtney Kardashian’s ex-partner and father of her three children. She was also linked to Leonardo DiCaprio.
