Max Verstappen‘s girlfriend, Kelly Piquet’s Instagram bio, says “Never underestimate the power of Love ❤️🔥”. While we may never stop obsessing about the ‘it couple’ Verstappen and Piquet, a new darling on the block has us swooning over her interactions with “Maxie”. It is none other than Piquet’s daughter, Penelope. The little wonder often pops up during the time Dutchman’s sim racing. And she has done it again.
Max Verstappen had once admitted to never really switching off. Meaning in his off time he still races, does pit stops, overtakes, and leads his life in a similar way. While we saw him get behind the wheel virtually, we also saw Penelope coming in for interactions, where sometimes she called him over for a tea party to her, giving him innumerable hugs and kisses.
And this time their rendezvous involves a pink fluffy stuffed toy. While Max was on his simulator setup enjoying racing in the two-week-long break, Piquet’s daughter came in to bash his face with a bunny rabbit toy. This has made fans swoon over his daddy abilities.
