The two shared a sweet kiss on the special moment as they celebrated Kelly Piquet’s 35th birthday. They share a noteworthy nine-year age gap while Piquet has a daughter with her former partner and ex-Red Bull driver, Daniil Kvyat. Nevertheless, according to the reports, the Brazilian model was born on 7 December so it is possible that was a delayed party.
With the joyful scene of birthday celebrations, the private moment between the defending champion and Piquet struck an emotional nerve with the audience.

Recently, Max Verstappen revealed some details about his romance with Kelly Piquet. The Red Bull driver offered an intriguing comparison to demonstrate why he felt a great fit with Piquet and her family, especially her father, Nelson. Similarly, Verstappen’s mother, Sophie Kumpen shared her views on this charming and stylish couple.
As per reports, the driver stated, “I like large families with many animals. I currently have three cats, because they are more independent than dogs. Especially when traveling, it is difficult to take care of dogs, because you would always have to carry them with you as if they were children.”

He went on to add, “It’s not easy either for the owner or for the dogs, and Kelly already knows the problems related to her father’s career. The family must be an oasis of peace to forget moments of stress.”
This is possibly concerning the turmoil the family had to go through when Nelson Piquet found himself in trouble after racially abusing Lewis Hamilton in November 2021, although this incident only surfaced in mid-2022. The former Brazilian driver was hit with harsh criticism and a hefty $1 million penalty.
