Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen has forged an unexpected yet heartwarming bond with Penelope Kvyat, the daughter of his partner, model Kelly Piquet. Often spotted during Verstappen’s Twitch streams, Penelope’s presence has highlighted a softer side to the fiercely competitive Red Bull driver.


A Unique Connection

Verstappen has been in a relationship with Kelly Piquet, daughter of three-time F1 World Champion Nelson Piquet, since early 2021. The couple frequently appears together at races, but it’s Verstappen’s interactions with Penelope, Kelly’s four-year-old daughter from her previous relationship with former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat, that have caught fans’ attention.

Despite the complexity of their connection—Verstappen replaced Kvyat at Red Bull in 2016—he has embraced his role as a supportive figure in Penelope’s life without overstepping boundaries. Addressing this dynamic, Verstappen shared:

“I’m not the father, that’s not the aim. It’s always very important that she has a good relationship with her own father, which she has. But I see her every day when I’m at home. We get on very well. She’s very cute.”


Penelope’s Cameos on Twitch

Penelope often appears alongside Verstappen during his Twitch streams, where he showcases his skills in virtual racing. These moments have endeared her to Verstappen’s fanbase, who regularly comment on their playful and natural chemistry. Whether offering advice or simply enjoying time in the background, Penelope’s presence adds a personal touch to Verstappen’s online persona.


Balancing Racing and Family Life

Known for his unparalleled focus on racing, Verstappen admits his passion for motorsport dominates his life. The reigning champion, who’s as competitive in virtual races as he is on the F1 track, rarely veers far from the racetrack—be it real or simulated. However, Kelly Piquet often steps in to remind him of life’s simpler pleasures.

“There have been times where I’ve been like, ‘OK, time to switch off,’” Piquet joked. “You have to give a gentle reminder that the sun is shining outside and, you know, there are other things to do.”

Despite his laser focus, Verstappen’s time with Penelope showcases a more grounded side of the champion, who effortlessly juggles his high-octane career with family moments in Monte Carlo.


A Glimpse of Humanity

Verstappen’s candid approach to his relationship with Penelope reflects his maturity both on and off the track. By respecting the bond between Penelope and her biological father, Daniil Kvyat, Verstappen has demonstrated a thoughtful approach to his role in her life, solidifying his reputation as more than just a racing prodigy.

As he continues to dominate Formula 1, Verstappen’s moments with Penelope offer fans a refreshing glimpse into the personal life of a driver who remains passionate, competitive, and—above all—human.
