Max Verstappen seems to be inevitable nowadays. Every day he etches his name into the record books of Formula 1 for a new record he’s either broken or a class of elite drivers he’s entered. Today’s Spanish Grand Prix was no different. The Red Bull maestro was on song once again this weekend. Yesterday, he clinched a sublime pole, his first in Spain. Then, in today’s race, he led every lap and stole the fastest point of the race as he cruised along to his 40th F1 victory. Hence, completing the elusive Grand Slam of F1.
Naturally, his girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, was over the moon! As usual, she came onto her social media accounts to boast of Verstappen’s supremacy. And who can blame her? However, this time around, the Brazilian model and entrepreneur shared a moment that will surely melt the hearts of Verstappen fans.

The wholesomeness between Verstappen and Piquet’s daughter from her relationship with the ex-Red Bull driver, Daniil Kvyat, Penelope is no secret. However, the two may have been spending a bit too much time with each other, as Verstappen’s habits may be rubbing off on the young one.
In a story Piquet posted to her Instagram account, she was watching the podium ceremony where Verstappen yet again clinched the top step of the podium. But Verstappen’s need for speed may have been caught by Penelope, too. Piquet captioned the post, “P speeding on her Vespa in the background.”
While Verstappen is surely on cloud nine right now, his biggest threat has come out with an alarming reality.

After the race, where Hamilton finished 2nd, almost 24 seconds behind the Dutch lion, he said, “A big, big thank you to everyone back at the factory for continuing to push and bring us closer to the Red Bulls. They are still a bit ahead but we’ll keep chasing them down,” while interviewed by Nico Rosberg.
