While the Belgian Grand Prix is only a few days away, Max Verstappen seems to be in some celebratory mood. The current World Championship leader recently returned from the Hungaroring, where he waged a marvelous war against pole-sitter Lewis Hamilton. Max surpassed Lewis right at the start of the race, and the Briton could never catch up to his RB-19. The speed difference was so pronounced that Mercedes boss Toto Wolff later claimed it was ‘like a field of Formula 2 cars against a Formula 1 car’.

Fresh from his victorious run at the Hungarian GP, Max Verstappen has joined his girlfriend Kelly Piquet for a special occasion. It is the 4th birthday of Kelly Piquet and her ex-partner and former F1 racer Daniil Kvyat‘s daughter Penelope Kvyat. Although Max is busy with his F1 schedule, Kelly with her modeling jobs and Daniil with his World Endurance Championship races, the three came together and threw a big party for Penelope.

Despite Kelly Piquet’s massive popularity as a successful Vogue cover model, Max’s girlfriend and the daughter of Brazilian F1 legend Nelson Piquet Sr, she has always kept her daughter away from the media. But earlier today, a photo circulated on the internet and quickly caught the eye of the F1 community. Penelope could be seen enjoying the spotlight with her father Daniil Kvyat, mother Kelly Piquet and Kelly’s partner Max Verstappen sharing the frame. Also present at the party were two big name from the F1 circuit–Lando Norris and Nyck deVries.

Max Verstappen and Daniil Kvyat, although bound by familial bonds, are not the best of friends

In the spanshot shared from Penelope Kvyat’s birthday party, Max, Kelly, Daniil, Lando and Nyck could be spotted. Max Verstappen and Daniil Kvyat have quite a few things in common. They have both been Toro Rosso drivers in the past, and got promoted to Red Bull seats because of their talent. While Max is currently Red Bull’s ‘Golden Boy’, Daniil’s time at the Austrian outfit was not so successful. He was demoted to Toro Rosso mid-season as the Red Bull executives wanted Max Verstappen to take his place. This clearly denotes their is not much love between the two.

Despite Max Verstappen and Daniil Kvyat’s equation, they have happily taken up their roles in Penelope Kvyat’s life. Last year, Kelly Piquet revealed to Vogue Netherlands how she met and fell in love with the Dutchman in 2016. The two have become F1’s favorite lovebirds in recent times due to their frequent media appearances and red carpet walks.
