Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet are the current power couple of the F1 grid. The Dutchman and his model girlfriend are both successful in their own ways in their respective fields. Moreover, they’ve been dating for a long while now, and in her recent interview with the Dutch edition of Vogue, Kelly revealed the qualities she liked about the Red Bull driver. Furthermore, she also compared the Dutch Lion to her 3-time champion father, Nelson Piquet. This, however, did not sit well with the fans.
Kelly broke the internet as she revealed details of her relationship with Max. The Brazilian told Vogue, “He remains so humble, he has both feet firmly on the ground. What I really like is that he knows what he wants and he is not afraid to say it.”

She added, “He is confident and not interested in fame or material things. We have a lot in common, are bon vivants. I realize more and more how similar he is to my father.”
The controversial figure, Nelson Piquet, is currently being probed by the Brazilian court for using a racial slur against Lewis Hamilton. If found guilty, he could end up paying up to $1.9 million in damages.

The fact that Kelly Piquet said “I realise more and more in how much he [Max] actually resembles my father” is quite something given how much of a PoS her dad is 💀
