It is often said that the world is small… but if we are to believe the story of Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet, it is even smaller in Formula 1! Prodigy pilot, at only 25 years old, the Dutchman who has just been crowned world champion for the second time in 2022 ahead of the Spaniard Carlos Sainz and the Monegasque Charles Leclerc, has shared the life of the beautiful Brazilian for a few months. A young woman he knew on the circuits: like him, she is the daughter of a former F1 driver (Jos Verstappen for one, Nelson Piquet for the other) and grew up in the middle.
But the young woman, who has just celebrated her 33rd birthday, has above all shared the life of other Formula 1 pilots before winning the heart of the Dutchman! Indeed, before falling into his arms, she had first succumbed to the charms of Russian Daniil Kvyat (who was also replaced in his team during the season by… Max Verstappen). Aged 28, he shared his life between 2016 and 2019a period during which they hosted a little girl, Penelope.
A story now definitely over for the young woman who coos today in the arms of her handsome pilot while juggling the custody of her daughter, whom she hardly ever exposes on social networks. This summer, however, she posted a rare photo of little Penelope on her Instagram account during a vacation day with her. A few weeks before, the little girl had celebrated her birthday with great fanfare, surrounded by her mother and her famous stepfather and seemed radiant in their arms.
This little Penelope should also have a great future on the Formula 1 circuits: between his grandfather, his father, his mother and his stepfather, its future seems all mapped out in advance. But while waiting to train the girl, the Formula 1 driver will have to focus on his career which could see him break all records. And all this with the support of his companion, who was sublime on his arm this summer in the south of France, not far from Monaco where they seem to reside.
