Formula 1 Star Max Verstappen Welcomes First Child Ahead of Miami Grand Prix

In a heartwarming announcement, Formula 1 sensation Max Verstappen shared the joyous news of becoming a father as he welcomed his first child with partner Kelly Piquet. The proud parents introduced their baby daughter, Lily, to the world through touching images posted on social media. Verstappen expressed his overwhelming emotions, declaring Lily as their greatest gift and showering her with love in his post, saying, “Our hearts are fuller than ever – you are our greatest gift. We love you so much.”

The Red Bull driver’s excitement for the new addition to his family led him to seek special permission to skip the media day activities scheduled before the upcoming Miami Grand Prix. Verstappen, whose private jet landed in Miami just hours after Lily’s birth, is over the moon to embrace fatherhood alongside Piquet. Lily is the couple’s first child together, while Piquet has a daughter named Penelope from a previous relationship with former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat.

Despite the life-changing milestone, Verstappen remains steadfast in his commitment to racing, affirming that fatherhood will not alter his driving style. Drawing from his experience with Penelope, whose grandfather is F1 legend Nelson Piquet, Verstappen is confident in balancing his responsibilities on and off the track. He stated, “Now it is my DNA, let’s say it like that, but I think it is absolutely fine and I know the baby will be in good hands anyway. So for me, you focus on your racing and then go back to your family.”

Nico Hulkenberg, the only other father on the current F1 grid, light-heartedly extended his well wishes to Verstappen, hoping for a peaceful night’s sleep with the newborn. Reflecting on his own journey into fatherhood in 2021, Hulkenberg shared his hope for Verstappen, saying, “I hope it is a good sleeper and we’ve been quite fortunate and there will be lots to discover, many beautiful and nice things that come with it.”

As Verstappen prepares to compete in the Miami Grand Prix, his fellow F1 fathers, including Sergio Perez, Kevin Magnussen, Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Raikkonen, Romain Grosjean, and Felipe Massa, continue to navigate the demands of elite racing while cherishing their roles as parents. Stay tuned for all the latest updates, expert insights, and behind-the-scenes action from the F1 Miami Grand Prix.
