Formula 1 drivers often complain that the burden of taking part in various promotional and sponsor events is too high, and that it can even affect their results on track. On the one hand, they are perhaps right; on the other, what could be nicer than thousands of fans applauding you — that’s exactly what happened at Carlos Sainz’s meeting with the Mexican public, organized in Mexico City by the local branch of Puma, one of the Williams team’s partners. The meeting also included Selma del Toro, whose blog is dedicated to Formula 1 — she aspires to be one of the local influencers. She has known the Spanish driver at least since his win at last year’s Mexican Grand Prix. Mind you, one joker commented on the photos she shared: “Watch out, Rebecca! He likes blondes!” Of course the remark was addressed to Sainz’s girlfriend, Scottish model Rebecca Donaldson, but that’s another story. The main thing is that the fans in Mexico gave Sainz a genuine ovation, hardly any less than the one we saw and heard in Austin after he finished third in the Saturday sprint. After that, Carlos, sharing an impressive video on his social media pages, wrote: “Thanks, Mexico! I feel at home here!”

      Los pilotos de Fórmula 1 suelen quejarse de que la carga relacionada con la participación en todo tipo de acciones publicitarias y eventos patrocinados es demasiado elevada, y eso incluso puede repercutir en los resultados en la pista.

      Por un lado, quizás tienen razón; por otro, ¿qué puede ser más agradable que que miles de aficionados te aplaudan? —exactamente así fue en el encuentro de Carlos Sainz con el público mexicano, organizado en Ciudad de México por la delegación local de la empresa Puma, uno de los socios del equipo Williams.

      En ese encuentro también participó Selma del Toro, cuyo blog está dedicado a la Fórmula 1: aspira a ser una de las influencers locales. Ella conoce al piloto español al menos desde su victoria en el Gran Premio de México del año pasado. Sin embargo, uno de los bromistas comentó las fotos que ella compartió así: «¡Rebecca, mantente alerta! ¡Le gustan las rubias!»

      Por supuesto, el comentario iba dirigido a la amiga de Sainz, la modelo escocesa Rebecca Donaldson, pero esa ya es otra historia.

      Lo importante es que los aficionados en Ciudad de México brindaron a Sainz una verdadera ovación, que no desmereció a la que vimos y oímos en Austin después de que terminó tercero en el sprint del sábado.

      Después, Carlos, al compartir un video impresionante en sus páginas en las redes sociales, escribió: «¡Gracias, México! ¡Aquí me siento como en casa!»
