As they welcome their first child together, Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet recently provided a glimpse of their adorable Christmas celebration.
The pair took advantage of the Formula 1 offseason break to unwind festively with loved ones, and Kelly Piquet posted pictures of their holiday festivities on Instagram.
Before welcoming the new member of their family the following year, Piquet, Verstappen, and her daughter Penelope were photographed enjoying Christmas Eve together.
In the Formula 1 calendar, the holidays coincide with the season’s conclusion, providing drivers with a much-needed break.
In the past, this wasn’t always true. Sometimes, there were races during the holidays, like the South African Grand Prix in the 1960s.
Today, drivers enjoy the season’s finish long before Christmas, giving periods like this for Verstappen and Piquet to embrace family time and celebrate the milestones in their personal life.
The couple’s announcement of their pregnancy just before the most recent Grand Prix, which they shared with fans who have followed their journey, made this year particularly unforgettable.
Kelly Piquet, daughter of former Formula 1 driver Nelson Piquet and an influencer, has been with Max Verstappen since 2020.
She also has a 5-year-old daughter, Penelope, from a previous relationship with Daniil Kvyat, another Formula 1 driver. Now, on the cusp of parenthood with Verstappen, they are stepping into a new chapter together.
As Piquet shared the festive moments from their Christmas gala, her post shimmered with excitement, showcasing her in a red gown and Verstappen in a tuxedo.
