If questioned, the entire grid would agree on the level of intensity Max Verstappen brings to the track. The 24-year-old Dutch world champion is a fierce and aggressive competitor. However, if you are not keeping tabs on the Dutchman during the summer break, you’re in for a surprise.
Verstappen spent his soon-to-be over-summer break with his girlfriend and Brazilian model Kelly Piquet. Not just his girlfriend, Verstappen spent his mid-season break with a lot of his and Kelly’s side of the family as well.
