Sainz struggles on and off track as SPLIT from girlfriend confirmed
Ferrari driver's long-term relationship with Spanish model Isabel Hernaez has come to an end
Carlos Sainz and his partner Isabel Hernaez have parted ways after the split was confirmed by the latter at a recent press outing.
This will come as the latest blow to Sainz's confidence following a difficult start to the 2023 F1 season for both himself and Ferrari.

Neither Sainz nor Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc have felt comfortable with the SF-23 this season, and upgrades brought to the Spanish Grand Prix only seemed to take the team backwards.
Speaking with the fans at the Spanish Grand Prix, Sainz said: “When I’m at home I take time to spend with my family, my dog, my girlfriend if I have one."
His uncertainty appears to have materialised, as revealed by Hernaez.
Sainz's heartbreak
The model confirmed the split in an interview with Hola Magazine.
Hernaez had some short comments to make about the break-up, but wished Sainz well, stating: "I'll keep the good always, of course. And I wish him all the happiness."

Hernaez and Sainz had been dating since 2016, but the 28-year-old model hadn't been at a grand prix since the season opener in Bahrain.
The motivation for the split has not yet been confirmed by either party.
