While Max Verstappen is still the focus on the F1 race with resounding victories, the Dutch driver surprised fans when appearing in another role – a “person who inspired kindness”. With his girlfriend Kelly Piquet, Verstappen has just participated in a special charity activity to support the elderly who are facing difficulties.
Another image of the champion
Yesterday, at an elderly care center on the outskirts of Monte Carlo, Max and Kelly were present to give gifts, chat and listen to the stories of lonely elderly people. The image of the F1 champion three times in a row next to an 85 -year -old lady, holding hands and smiling brightly quickly spread on social networks, receiving millions of shares.
Kelly Piquet, which is famous not only Verstappen’s girlfriend but also a positive social activist, said:
“The elderly deserves to be loved, cared for and respectfully. We want to do something small but the meaning to bring joy to them.”
The warmth crosses the race
It is known that the two have donated tens of thousands of euros to support food, medicine and care services for the elderly in difficult circumstances. But what makes people more touched is their direct presence: Max and Kelly not only give gifts, but also spend hours chat, chess, even sing classic songs with the elderly.
An employee of the center shared:
“This is the first time we have seen such laughter. Max is no longer a distant star on television, but a friend, a gentle grand𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 visits them.”
How do fans respond?
On Twitter and Instagram, fans have simultaneously praised this meaningful action. A fan commented:“It is great to see a champion not only strong on the track but also in real life in real life.”
Many people also believe that Kelly Piquet is a great motivation for Verstappen to participate more in community activities, because she has a long experience in volunteer and social development.
A great message
In the context of F1 often associated with flashy image, money and speed, action of Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet has brought a humanistic message:Sports are not only victory, but also to share, love and social responsibility.
And perhaps, it was those simple moments – when a champion sat listening to the story of the old age of the old men and women – the biggest “victory” that Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet left in the hearts of fans.
