“Bro Has One Shirt”: Max Verstappen Turning Up for His Kid’s Baby Shower in Red Bull Shirt Leaves Fans in Splits

F1 drivers mostly turn up in team merchandise at official events and race weekends. On other occasions — social, professional, or personal — they wear fashionable clothes. And we are talking high fashion here. But Max Verstappen remains old-school.

The reigning F1 champion keeps things simple by sporting a Red Bull jersey most of the time. Wearing a Red Bull jersey to an F1 track on a race weekend is one thing. But doing so at his child’s baby shower is taking it a step not just further, but into unheard of territory.

Verstappen and his partner, Kelly Piquet, announced her pregnancy late last year. With the baby due in the coming months, they held the customary celebration in the motherhood journey a few weeks back in Miami.

But when fans saw what Verstappen wore, they had a field day with the four-time world champion, with many mocking him.

“No way bro wore a Red Bull shirt to his own kids’ baby shower,” one fan wrote under an Instagram post by z1chart.

Another wrote, “Bro has only one shirt.” Hard to believe? Well, he has more than one. “Max has three outfits: Red Bull shirt + jeans, racing suit, and the formal suit for the FIA Awards,” a user declared.

But why does Verstappen stick to wearing only Red Bull or F1-themed clothes? Is it because he doesn’t care about fashion, or does Red Bull have him under strict control? “Bro fr has no other clothes? I can’t believe that contract is so strict with clothes,” wrote a fan.

Verstappen’s team loyalty when it comes to fashion did not come in the way of Red Bull’s clothing brand signing him as an ambassador. But why? That’s the bewilderment Lando Norris had while reacting with a surprised, “No way“, when Verstappen showed off some outfits for AlphaTauri last month.

Verstappen likely wears the Red Bull jersey by choice, and not to meet contractual obligations. He is perhaps simply taking pride in driving for one of F1’s most successful teams. But wearing it to a baby shower. Seriously? We are left wondering what Piquet had to say about it.

Piquet’s friends gave her a surprise baby shower

As reported by f1gossippofficial on Instagram, Piquet’s friends surprised her with a baby shower on a yacht in Miami last month. The party had a pink theme, a possible confirmation that the couple is expecting a daughter. Piquet was previously spotted shopping for baby girl clothes as well.

Piquet had gone shopping with her first daughter, Penelope, at Talu Concepts. It is the same store where she had bought clothes for Penelope before her birth.

The F1 community, however, is left with one major question: Will Verstappen wear a Red Bull t-shirt to celebrate the child’s birth?
