Over the years, the Formula 1 paddock has been home to several well-known couples who have become fan favorites.

Think of Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet, George Russell and Carmen Montero Mundt, or Charles Leclerc and Alexandra Saint-Mieux.

More recently, there’s Lando Norris and Margarida Corceiro, who attended the latest Hungarian Grand Prix, where they witnessed the British driver’s victory firsthand.

There’s another couple, however, that has become well known over the years: Carlos Sainz and Rebecca Donaldson.

Born in Scone in 1995, Donaldson is a Scottish model and entrepreneur who first gained fame by winning a beauty contest at just 17, which helped her launch a career in fashion and later appear on the reality show Top Model UK.

Throughout her career, Rebecca has appeared on the covers of some of the most prestigious magazines, including Vogue.

In 2020, during the height of the pandemic, she also became an entrepreneur, launching her own clothing brand, Muse Activewear.

As for her relationship, Rebecca has been publicly dating the Spanish driver since the summer of 2023, just over two years. The couple was first spotted together in Milan and later in Corsica during the summer break.

Since then, the two have been seen together almost constantly in the paddock, much like the sport’s most established couples, earning widespread affection and admiration from fans over the years.

Before starting his relationship with Rebecca, Carlos Sainz had a long-term relationship with Spanish journalist Isabel Hernaez, lasted well seven years.
