Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet welcomed Lily in May this year, during the 2025 Miami GP. She is the four-time world champion's first baby, and Piquet's second. Piquet gave birth to a daughter, named Penelope, who was born in 2019, during her relationship with former F1 driver, Daniil Kvyat.


"Not like it is completely new for me": Max Verstappen on parenthood

Following the birth of his child, Lily, Max Verstappen stated that handling a baby is not entirely new for him. Verstappen had already spent time with Kelly Piquet's daughter, Penelope, which gave him a bit of experience in parenthood. Speaking about this, here's what the Red Bull driver said:

"I have done it already, so it is not like it is completely new for me," Verstappen said. "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." (Via ESPN)

Max Verstappen is competing in his 11th year in Formula 1 and is looking to defend his title. However, going by the trend of this year's performance, Verstappen is not the title favorite as his RB21 is barely a match to the McLaren MCL39s.

Currently, he is in P3 in the Drivers' Championship with 187 points after 14 races and three Sprints. He trails the McLaren duo Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris by 97, and 88 points, respectively.
