The family of car runners is growing. This Friday, May 2, Max Verstappen announced on Instagram the birth of his first child.

Our hearts are more full than ever – you are our best gift. We love you so much ”.
His role as a stepfather
If Max Verstappen is dad for the first time, he nevertheless formed a family with Kelly Piquet and his daughter, born in 2019. Shortly after the announcement of his pregnancy, he testified to his “excitement” at the idea of taking on this new role, without devaluing the one he already plays in the life of little Pénélope. “I am obviously already a kind of” bonus dad “so … but I am of course very enthusiastic!”, He replied.
