Max Verstappen, the two-time world champion, has been setting the racing world ablaze with his exceptional performances and dominant victories. However, while his achievements on the track are awe-inspiring, it seems that there is one person who remains unimpressed by his success – his model girlfriend, Kelly Piquet. Even with two championships under his belt, Verstappen has yet to capture Piquet’s admiration, and there is a simple reason behind it.

Verstappen’s relentless pursuit of victory and his dominant form this season cannot be overlooked. With 7 wins out of 9 races, he stands on the cusp of securing his eighth victory at Silverstone, solidifying his status as undisputable in F1. Verstappen can legit contend for the constructors’ world championship on his own.

Remarkably, Verstappen’s impressive accomplishments bear a striking resemblance to the achievements of his girlfriend’s father, the legendary three-time F1 champion, Nelson Piquet. However, despite his extraordinary success, Verstappen has yet to make a lasting impression on Kelly Piquet.

During an exclusive interview with Channel 4 at the British GP, Steve Jones asked Verstappen if his girlfriend now calls him “two-time world champion Max Verstappen” or simply “Max.” Verstappen responded humorously, stating, “Definitely not the first one… It’s probably also not that impressive to her, right? Her dad is a three-time world champion, so I still need to catch up.” Verstappen’s candid response highlights the awareness he has of the immense racing legacy that surrounds Piquet’s family.

Despite being a two-time world champion, Verstappen’s accomplishments have yet to fully impress his girlfriend, Kelly Piquet. The towering shadow cast by her father’s three championship titles serves as a constant reminder of the legacy Verstappen aspires to match. Could this be the driving force behind Max Verstappen’s thumping dominance?
