Carlos Sainz humorously claims he does not have a girlfriend

Prior to the 2023 F1 Spanish GP, Carlos Sainz attended a special fan interaction session. During the session, he explained how he relaxes at home and spends time with his loved ones. However, he jokingly stated that he would be spending time with his girlfriend if he had one.

He said this in Spanish, which was later translated into English:

“When I’m at home, I take time to spend with my family, my dog, my girlfriend, if I have one.”

Though right after this statement, the fans and the event presenters had a good laugh, and even the Ferrari driver was seen smiling. However, several fans on social media were surprised. Since the couple have always kept their relationship a secret, only a few people know for certain whether they have broken up or are still together.
