At 27, the quadruple world champion of F1 Max Verstappen became a dad of a little Lily. The Red Bull driver announced the happy event on Friday on social networks, two days before the Miami Grand Prix.
Max Verstappen Papa for the first time. The Dutch pilot announced the happy event that the whole paddock was waiting for this Friday, at 48 hours from the Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix. His partner Kelly Piquet, daughter of the triple Brazilian world champion Nelson Piquet, gave birth to a little Lily.
“Welcome to the world, sweet Lily. Our hearts are more filled than ever, you are our best gift,” wrote the quadruple 27 -year -old world champion on social networks.
Driving his Red Bull on Saturday for the Sprint race
The couple announced the arrival of their future baby in December 2024 on the sidelines of the last GP of the season in Abu Dhabi. If it is the first child of Max Verstappen, Kelly Piquet has a daughter, Penelope, born from a relationship with an old F1 pilot, the Russian Daniil Kvyat.
Red Bull had announced that his champion could not attend the Media Day on Thursday to stay with his partner. It is therefore with a little fatigue but on its cloud that Verstappen arrived in Miami a few hours later. He will start the Sprint race on Saturday (5:40 p.m.) and the Miami Grand Prix on Sunday (9:55 p.m.). After five races, he points to 3rd place in the 12 -point pilot classification from the leader Oscar Piastri (McLaren).
