Following the allegations of being involved in an extra-marital affair, Kelly Piquet recently issued a statement playing down the claims of Natalie Sifferman. Her partner, Max Verstappen, quickly became a part of the conversation as he chimed in with supportive words for the 35-year-old. However, there was more to it than meets the eye as a major loophole soon surfaced, thanks to Verstappen’s love for gaming.
Writing on her Instagram, Piquet claimed the internet could be a wonderful place. However, she added that it can also be a “scary place” if false information starts floating around. Soon after, Max Verstappen commented on the post, showing his love and support for Piquet.

The Red Bull driver wrote that the “false accusations” by one individual were “insane” and “ridiculous.” He added that he was well aware of the truth and that the family was very happy together.
However, things soon took a U-turn for Piquet as the online gaming community realized something curious. As the comment surfaced, Verstappen was busy playing ‘Call of Duty’ online. The information on Verstappen’s gaming account showed him to be in-game when the comment went public, making the incident even more curious.
Fans raced to X to point out the same, concluding Piquet herself made the comment. The going got tougher for Kelly Piquet after the incident, as a series of questions emerged for her to face.
