The US Grand Prix didn’t just bring us exciting action on the track! There was a LOT going on behind the scenes in the paddock! And who’s to blame for this uproar? F1’s heartthrob Carlos Sainz and his new girlfriend, of course! The Spaniard’s love interest was outed earlier this season by fellow driver, Pierre Gasly. While the Frenchman has since deleted the post, fans were left craving for more!

It looks like Carlos Sainz has decided to give the fans what they want. A rather steamy moment of affection was shared between him and the talk of the town, Rebecca Donaldson. A photo of the Sainz and his girlfriend kissing under the Austin sun went viral, triggering the pair to make a soft launch in a very Gen Z way!

Sainz and Donaldson started following each other on Instagram after their intimate moment went viral. A trendy way to make things official? Fans were left split on the matter. On a post shared by @f1gossipofficial about the news, Sainz’s supporters had a field day!

Is Carlos Sainz’s new girlfriend his one true love, or a PR stunt?

The fact that Sainz kissed his new girlfriend, Rebecca Donaldson, on the grid before following her on Instagram left fans confused! One user was quick to point this out, “What confuses me is that they literally kissed and everything before following each other??” –Another user was in disbelief! – “What they didn’t follow each other yet 😂” – Let’s cut Sainz some slack here! The Ferrari man has had quite a busy time after his smooth operation in Singapore.

But it’s not easy to deceive observant fans! – “All this is so funny hahaha it’s really a fanfic all this is too obvious and acted. What’s next Rebecca posting pics with Carlos or him with her?” – Hold your prancing horses! isn’t that what couples do? – but the shade would not stop there!
