Nobody, including Ferrari, could’ve predicted a front-row lockout at the 2023 Mexican GP by the Italian team. The Ferrari duo put in faultless laps while maintaining pace on a track where it’s easy to slip up and were rewarded for it. The pace and the precision combination brought by both Ferrari men made for an unforeseen end to the first piece of action from the race weekend. Even though the main event is yet to come, there was a tiny bit of celebration in Carlos Sainz‘s side of the garage for his P2 securing lap. However, the celebration of Carlos Sainz and his girlfriend is making the fans feel uncomfortable.

The Spaniard broke up with his girlfriend of six years, Isa Hernaez, and mistakenly revealed it during an interview owing to his private nature. However, soon Sainz was rumored to be in a relationship with Scottish model Rebecca Donaldson. The rumors were authenticated after Sainz’s win in Singapore. Ever since then, Donaldson has been a regular feature on the track.

She took the trip to Mexico as well with the Spaniard and, after a mega qualifying, wanted to congratulate her beau. Donaldson kissed Sainz, which was obviously caught on millions of cameras. The picture of the two made it to an F1 gossip column on Instagram as well. However, the picture posted on f1gossippofficial’s page with the caption, “Kisses after qualifying!” did not garner the response you’d expect.

In fact, it was Sainz’s reaction that caught everyone’s attention, which garnered this feeling of awkwardness among the fans.

The reaction of Carlos Sainz during his kiss with his girlfriend Rebecca Donaldson makes the fans uncomfortable

In the photo, we can clearly see Sainz preoccupied mentally during the kiss, which is completely understandable because of the nature of his job and the high adrenaline activity he just stepped away from. Sainz’s eyes wide open looking into the distance during the kiss made the fans uncomfortable.

In fact, some fans felt he was being held hostage and even labeled their relationship fake with the mandatory mention of the ex. “They’re not even kissing 😂😂😂😂 fakest relationship ever.”, carlos always looks like he is being held in hostage while kissing since isa 😭”

While some fans just called him unlucky and commented, “Love Carlos❤️ but he’s not that lucky with his kissing photos😂”

Or maybe that’s how Sainz kisses? One fan surely pointed it out, “Why he has always open eyes when kiss her??!”

There were quite a few jokes around the open eyes. “Carlos if you don’t like her, open ur eyes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”
