Red Bull driver Max Verstappen’s girlfriend Kelly Piquet has shared a picture of her daughter Penelope Kvyat on her Instagram story. The Brazilian model and the three-time world champion have been in a relationship since 2020, during his ascent in F1.
Piquet is active on social media and often posts about her life with the Dutch driver and travel stories with her daughter. She recently took to Instagram to share a picture of Kvyat and wrote:
“My golden girl.”

After the Singapore GP on September 22, the Red Bull driver brought a toy home for the four-year-old as a souvenir. He said in the team’s Instagram post:
“I’m sure Penelope would love this.”
Piquet is the daughter of three-time world champion Nelson Piquet Sr. Former Red Bull driver Daniil Kvyat is Kvyat’s father. Max Verstappen, Kelly, and Penelope have also been spotted vacationing.

In his documentary “Anatomy of a Champion”, Max Verstappen shared a story of his partner Kelly Piquet’s daughter Penelope Kvyat swearing in front of his grandmother and said:
“Grandma was at our place in Monaco, right, and she was with Penelope. They sat in the kitchen. And all of a sudden the cats started to jump weirdly, and so on. And then Penelope says, ‘What the f**k are the cats doing?’ And Grandma has that look like, ‘Oh. What did she say?’ But she hears me say that.”
The 26-year-old discussed his friendly relationship with Kvyat and told Time Magazine:
“I’m not the father, that’s not the aim. It’s always very important that she has a good relationship with her own father, which she has. But I see her every day when I’m at home. We get on very well. She’s very cute.”
The world champion is gunning for a fourth consecutive world championship this year. Piquet and Kvyat are often spotted in the F1 paddock and travel to support Verstappen as he races.
After a strong start to the 2024 season, Max Verstappen has found himself clinging to his title lead against McLaren driver Lando Norris for almost half of the season as RB20’s performances suffer due to a lack of development over the year.
