Kelly Piquet and 2-time F1 World Champion Max Verstappen are F1’s current power couple. The duo have been dating since January 2021, coinciding with the rise of the Dutchman, and have been spotted next to each other at almost all races.
Seeing Piquet and Verstappen’s romance, you might think they are pretty similar. But the two have somewhat different tastes in cars.
Kelly recently revealed that Verstappen does not like Electric cars. The Dutchman is a fan of Gas-guzzling sportscars and cannot stand the sight of an electric vehicle.

Piquet stated, “If Max were to say, ‘I want to buy you a car’, I would say an ‘An electric one, please’.” She adds, “He would die if I say that, die!”
What cars are in Max Verstappen’s garage?
Max Verstappen has a liking for high speeds. And the Dutchman has a collection of supercars in his garage.
This includes a handful of Aston Martin’s like the DB11, Vantage and the DBS Superleggera. He also owns one of the 150 models of the Aston Martin Valkyrie.
The Valkyrie is a special edition supercar collaboratively built by Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing. The $3 Million has a 6.5-litre V12 engine that can go from 0-100 Kmh in 2.6 seconds.

Kelly Piquet Vogue cameo sparks outrage
Kelly Piquet was recently featured on Vogue’s front page for January and February. The Brazilian model was wearing a racing helmet.
But the Magazine has criticised her as a leader for women in Motorsports. Kelly has been criticised as misleading the audience by grabbing the spotlight from actual women in racing and motorsports.
Seeing Kelly Piquet on the cover of Vogue representing women in motorsport is disappointing.
There are so many women out there who actually compete in the sport and who have faced constant adversity.
These racers should have had their stories heard instead.#WomenInMotorsport pic.twitter.com/tZv7EAYJVi

Kelly has been criticised for stealing the cover in the nepotistic world of Motorsports. She herself is the child of former F1 World Champion Nelson Piquet.
Her father Nelson has been outcasted by the F1 community after his recent racist comments on Lewis Hamilton. Kelly remained silent and hasn’t commented on the incident.
