The sight of Max Verstappen babysitting Kelly Piquet and Daniil Kvyat’s daughter, Penelope, is not rare. We have seen the Red Bull star taking care of the ‘little P’ while live streaming on Twitch or spending vacations with his girlfriend or family.
These precious moments have often made fans swoon over the Dutchman’s fatherly acts. So, here’s another adorable moment that Piquet has revealed showing the softer side of the 2-time champion.
In the latest revelation, Verstappen is educating the 3-year-old. Piquet posted the picture on her Instagram story which showed the 2-time champion solving a jigsaw puzzle with the toddler.

Max Verstappen once used Penelope’s pacifier
Several videos posted online have shown Verstappen partying, vacationing with the Piquet family, and mostly fooling around with young Penelope. In one such video, the Dutchman was too relaxed and let the little Penelope mess with him.
In 2021, Verstappen spent the summer vacation with the Piquet family in Brazil. A video that surfaced on the internet at the time showed the Dutchman partying and playing with Penelope. In a relaxed mood, Verstappen let the little Penelope put her pacifier in his mouth.
As per reports by Quem, the Dutchman had booked the mansion that the family was enjoying in 2021. The venue was located in the Lençóis Maranhenses region, in the municipality of Santo Amaro, in Maranhão.
Will Verstappen win his 3rd championship title?
Red Bull saw a return to its dominance after 7 years on the F1 grid at the end of the 2021 season. In 2021, Red Bull was involved in a ferocious battle for the driver’s title against the Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton.
With a season-long tooth-and-nail fight, the Milton-Keynes-based team fared victorious in the championship battle. This brought an end to their dry run and also won Verstappen his maiden championship.
Since then, the young Dutchman has only built on the momentum and risen higher in his accolades. In 2022, Verstappen and Red Bull dominated the season with a huge margin resulting in a second title for Verstappen and the team’s first constructors’ title since 2013.
Following the trend, Red Bull has yet again started the 2023 season with a dominant foot on the track. With three races done, Red Bull has won all of them with Verstappen claiming the victory twice.
However, with the rivals coming up with updates to their car it remains to be seen if any other team appears capable of competing with the RB19. If not, there is no denying that Verstappen might go on to win his third championship without any hindrances.
