IN PICTURES: Max Verstappen Enjoys Day Out With Kelly Piquet & Daughter Ahead of Electrifying F1 Weekend in Miami

Red Bull prodigy Max Verstappen is already in Miami, ahead of the race. The defending champion is enjoying his free time before he takes his RB18 out for a run at Free Practice 1.

The 24-year-old comes fresh off a win in his last race. At Imola, Verstappen dominated his competitors and will look forward to a similar ending in Miami.

However, the Dutchman’s season has been a roller-coaster ride till now. From a DNF to winning the next race and then again not finishing, he has seen it all.

Max Verstappen enjoys family time ahead of the Miami GP

Sitting poolside, he was seen enjoying the water with his family and friends. Partner Kelly Piquet, Mother Sophie Kumpen, Piquet’s daughter Penelope and some other friends were seen in pictures. These are all understandably very important people in Verstappen’s life. The Dutchman often spends his vacation time with this similar group of people.

Piquet has been a constant support in Verstappen‘s life for quite a while now. From posting pictures of each other, to sharing heart warming moments, they share a beautiful bond. Furthermore, Verstappen’s mother, Kumpen, was a kart racer herself and has also been monumental in her son’s success.

The Verstappen-Leclerc saga continues

Max has had a reasonably interesting season till now. After winning the world championship, F1 fans were expecting a similar last season dominance. Unfortunately, the Dutchman couldn’t even finish 2 out of the initial 4 races of the season. However, every race that Verstappen has completed, he has won. Pitted against Charles Leclerc this season, Verstappen has not seemed too bothered by his competition.

Leclerc, on the other hand, is probably at the peak of his career. As a title contender, he is giving Max a tough fight. Though Imola saw him succumb under pressure, we can still rely on the Monegasque to make a comeback. Besides, his performances this season have displayed some brilliant moments, where his sharp reactions were lauded.

Verstappen, however, was equally brilliant, if not more. His amazing grand slam at Imola and a performance that speaks for itself, is up for display. Red Bull and the Max managed a 1-2 finish as the rivals had a lot to be concerned about. The Austrian team has come a long way after facing reliability issues, and might just run away with the season if not stopped.
