Max Verstappen’s Girlfriend Kelly Piquet Steals Daniel Ricciardo’s Camera to Click Pictures With Martin Garrix

Fresh off Max Verstappen’s stunning win in Miami, his girlfriend Kelly Piquet posted a picture of her with Dutch DJ Martin Garrix. The picture she clicked, showed her and Garrix posing on another camera, which as it turns out, belongs to none other than Daniel Ricciardo.

Piquet and Garrix were both at the Miami GP and after the race, they found Ricciardo’s camera and decided to have some fun with it. The two of them clicked a picture together, where they were showing the middle finger to Ricciardo, and Piquet posted a snippet of that on her story.

“When Daniel Ricciardo leaves his camera unattended,” Piquet wrote on Instagram as she followed it up with laughing emojis.

Kelly Piquet shares snippets of Max Verstappen’s dominant Miami GP race

The 2023 Miami GP was the most glamorous F1 outing of the year, with multiple celebrities traveling to Florida to witness a spectacle. Kelly Piquet, who is one of the most vocal supporters of Verstappen’s, was present at the Miami International Autodrome, as she is on multiple race weekends throughout the year.

On her Instagram account, Piquet posted various pictures of the time she spent in Miami, ahead of the race. She also shared a video of a triumphant Max Verstappen climbing out of his car to celebrate his victory after a well-fought race.

Her stories also included scenes of the afterparty, with the entire Red Bull team celebrating by spraying champagne inside the Hard Rock Stadium.

Verstappen, who started the race from P9, could have been in for a tough Grand Prix in Miami. However, by lap 20 he was leading the race, and following a bold strategy move made by Red Bull, successfully jumped his Red Bull teammate who started on pole to win his third race of the year.

Verstappen back in the driving seat

Ahead of the Miami GP, there were doubts surrounding Verstappen’s shaky start to the year. The Dutchman won two out of the opening four races, with Perez winning the other two. The Mexican driver was just six points behind, and if he won the Miami GP, he would have led the standings for the first time in his career.

However, with his win at the Autodrome, Verstappen has established dominance once again. He is now, 14 points in front of Perez, and not many people expect him to slip up as we approach the midpoint of the season.
