CARLOS SAINZ’S stunning girlfriend was seen with her hands on her head as she reacted to his scary crash at the Italian Grand Prix.
Williams driver Sainz was jostling for position against Haas rookie Ollie Bearman when his rival placed his car down the inside at the dela Roggia chicane (Turn 4).

With neither ace willing to give any quarter, the pair made contact as Sainz attempted to turn the corner, with both being sent spinning off and then back onto the track.
Sainz, 31, had been running in P13 at that moment, with Racing Bulls star Isack Hadjar then able to sweep past the pair of them from P15 into P13.
F1 stars are often accompanied on race weekends by their partners in the paddock, and it was no different for Sainz in Monza as his girlfriend Rebecca Donaldson was seen watching on in the Williams garage.
But Rebecca was spotted in bits after seeing her boyfriend’s race come unstuck in the collision.
The 29-year-old model has featured in publications such as Vanity Fair and Vogue, while she has 651,000 followers on Instagram.
This weekend, she chose to wear a stunning white dress for race day at the track, affectionately dubbed the “Temple of Speed” due to incredible high speeds around the track.
The Spanish F1 star and Scottish fashion model were first linked together in the summer of 2023.
They have largely kept their romance out of the public limelight, though when Sainz was racing for Ferrari he joked he would marry Rebecca in Las Vegas.

Rebecca has been seen in attendance at a number of races this year, including the season opener in Australia and the Monaco Grand Prix, where she turned heads in a stylish outfit.
She is originally from Scone, in central Scotland, and she attended the prestigious Perth Academy which claims to be “possibly the oldest school in Scotland”.
Despite scoring points in six races this season, Sainz is remarkably running 18th in the drivers’ standings with 16 points this season.
Meanwhile, team-mate Alex Albon is seventh with 70 points overall.
The race itself was won by a dominant Max Verstappen.
Four-time world champion Verstappen set a new record-breaking lap time in qualifying before making the 2025 Italian Grand Prix the fastest-ever F1 race with an average speed of more than 155mph and a completed time of 1:13:24.325.
For his part in his crash with Sainz, 20-year-old British driver Bearman was handed a 10-second time penalty by the FIA along with two penalty points on his superlicence.
That has put Bearman in a perilous position as he is just two points away from a race ban, having picked up 10 out of the 12 needed before a ban is issued.
He will see two points scrubbed from his licence on November 3, a year after he picked up two penalty points at the 2024 Brazilian Grand Prix.
But he will need to be on his best behaviour on track with four races still to go before then, with the famously tricky Baku Street Circuit in Azerbaijan next.
