As the years go by, the number of races at new venues has increased. All this may seem hectic to the drivers and teams. We only see the glamorous side of things. Max Verstappen, in particular, has even pondered over his future in the sport if such increased activity continues. However, his girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, is making most of the traveling. But surprisingly, her favorite travel partner is not her World Champion boyfriend.
The time before and after a race weekend is a golden period for Instagram. Drivers posting alluring pictures of themselves in scenic settings, or with their WAGs creates a lot of engagement for F1 fans on social media. We get a peek into the lives of millionaires and the dream life. Such was the situation for Piquet today as she was heading off to her next destination with her “best travel buddy”.
In Piquet’s most recent Instagram story, she looks chic as she takes an elevator with her daughter, Penelope. Both of them are twinning in white and Penelope is bubbling over with joy. Even Piquet’s handbag and tote bag have joined in with the dress code, all in white. She has captioned the image: “Best travel buddy💕”.

And he looks like the most patient person on planet Earth when dealing with such a delightful distraction. Those wholesome interactions tend to become the highlight of the entire stream.
