Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet are one of the most famous F1 couples on the grid. Verstappen due to his World Champion status and Piquet for coming from F1 lineage. Being the daughter of Nelson Piquet meant that Kelly often found herself around the paddocks and that’s where she met the father of her child, Daniil Kvyat. However, before Piquet started dating Verstappen, she broke things off with Kvyat, or so they say.

Recently, Kelly Piquet has come under scrutiny as videos surfaced that share a story of how she met Verstappen, but there is no proof that what is said is true.

This caused quite an uproar among fans, as many started to dislike Piquet based on what was said in the video. To calm things down, Piquet has made a post on Instagram explaining herself and she is joined by her man to defend her against the allegations.

In the post on Instagram, Piquet talks about how beautiful and scary the online world is. Daughter of a Racing Legend then posted, “I am unsure of the appropriate approach to address hate stemming from falsehoods. I have considered composing a response and letting it stand.”

Further stating, “For over 3 years I’ve been navigating a very strange and upsetting wave of accusations, rumors, fabricated situations, fake testimonials, photoshopped screenshots… you name it. All the while staying silent and not playing into these ridiculous claims.” After explaining that she would never do the things she’s been falsely accused of, she concluded with a message for the people leaving hate comments with a wise quote.

Piquet finished by saying, “I hope those of you who have contributed to this take a moment to reflect on the real-life consequences of spreading lies and engaging in hate.” But being a public figure with power, she wanted to leave with a positive message. She quoted James Clear saying, “Every action we take is a vote of who we want to be,” continuing the quote saying, “Let’s choose to be better humans to ourselves and others.”

Max Verstappen loves Piquet a lot and did not like that she was being caught up in a storm of unpleasantries from fans and haters alike. To show his support, he posted a comment saying, “This has to stop. These false accusations by certain individuals on Instagram and TikTok are insane and ridiculous at the same time. Hate has no place in this world. We know what’s true within our family and we are very happy together. I love you”
