Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet took a break from the busy Formula 1 season to enjoy some quality time in France. It is common for F1 drivers to take a break during the race interval and spend time with their loved ones. In the middle of the 2024 season, Max Verstappen was seen taking a break with his girlfriend Kelly Piquet.
The 2024 season has been a rollercoaster for Verstappen. Red Bull’s struggles prevented him from having a perfect season this time. Taking a break between races is a great way for the world champion to relax and recharge his energy. Kelly Piquet shared their getaway on Instagram before the next race.
The couple chose to make their getaway in a $500,000 Ferrari SF90. They stayed at the La Réserve Ramatuelle hotel in France. It is not clear if Piquet’s daughter was present on this trip. Verstappen’s images from the trip were not shared by the model. They will continue to enjoy their free time while Verstappen seeks to regain his dominance on the race track.
Red Bull has been struggling with balance and simulator data errors, causing them to lose three out of eight races so far. The team needs to address these issues and correct the errors quickly. There have been rumors that the team ignored Verstappen’s feedback on the issues, which only made things worse.
Verstappen believes the team still has an advantage on traditional circuits, but if they do not improve their performance by the next race, there could be serious consequences. The 80-year-old driver also pointed out that on circuits where the team expects a decrease in performance, they will rely on Verstappen’s skills to make a difference in the race results.
Verstappen is doing his best to minimize any mistakes on his part and maintain a consistent performance. Red Bull needs to regain their dominant form to stay ahead of rival teams like Ferrari and McLaren, who are constantly challenging them for the championship this season.
