F1: Max a lot like my father – Kelly Piquet

Max Verstappen’s partner Kelly Piquet sees similarities between the Dutchman and her father Nelson Piquet, a 3-time F1 World Driving Champion.

She said:

“He remains so humble; he has both feet firmly on the ground. What I really like is that he knows what he wants, and he is not afraid to say it. He is confident and not interested in fame or material things. We have a lot in common; (we’re) are bon vivants. I realize more and more how similar he is to my father.”

“I was always very involved in my brother’s career. I’ve experienced the ups and downs, seen what pressure does to someone. This world is so familiar to me. I know what those guys go through,”
