“I Beat You at the Game”: Girlfriend Kelly Piquet Had a Befitting Reply to Max Verstappen’s Boastful Claim

Max Verstappen is often known for his competitive side. Just ask Lewis Hamilton and you’ll know how aggressive Verstappen can get when he’s on track. Once in a while, we get to peek inside his personal life. And we’re happy to see the other side of the 2x World Champion as well.

Verstappen has always maintained a thin veil of privacy around his personal life. That being said, sometimes, we get a glimpse into it. This time, it was courtesy of his model girlfriend, Kelly Piquet.

Apparently, Verstappen is a fan of arcade games! On Instagram, Verstappen said, “I think beating everyone in arcade was definitely my highlight.”

To which Piquet replied, “I believe I beat you at that ball game but the machine was broken so it didn’t count properly.”

Even though Verstappen has been in a good mood since his title victory in Japan, the Red Bull cost cap breach might have bothered him. However, after Red Bull were punished, Martin Brundle leaped to Verstappen’s defense.

In the aftermath of the entire Red Bull cost cap fiasco, the Milton-Keynes-based outfit will get a financial and sporting penalty. That is to say, $7 million in fines and a 10% deduction in aero testing time for next season.

Sky Sports’ Simon Lazenby was quick to cast aspersions on Red Bull’s titles. He said, “They’ve got two championships out of this.” 

Brundle was quick to retort, “You can’t say that, how can you say that?”

Lazenby tried to explain himself. “I’m not saying that, but that’s what the fans are saying.”

But Brundle was having none of that, “There will have been some money spent. But can you apply that amount of money to winning two world championships?”

There is no doubt now that Red Bull did, in fact, breach the cost cap. Do you agree with Lazenby and feel that they got an unfair edge over its rivals and won the Championships? Or do you agree with Brundle and feel the overspend wasn’t significant enough to impact the Championship results?
