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.
The Dutchman also has some unique edition cars from rivals Ferrari like the Ferrari Monza SP2, and the Pista 488.
