Max Verstappen wins third consecutive Formula One world championship
Max Verstappen has remained tight-lipped about when he intends to propose to long-term partner Kelly Piquet. The Red Bull superstar began dating the 35-year-old, who is the daughter of three-time F1 world champion Nelson Piquet, in 2020 before the driver had won his first F1 title.
Verstappen and Piquet became an official item at the start of 2021 as the F1 ace wrote on Instagram: “Happy New Year everyone! Let’s make 2021 a year to remember in many ways. Wishing you all success, love and happiness just as I found mine.”
Three years into the relationship, the couple are yet to tie the knot. And after being quizzed by Blick about a future wedding, Verstappen said: “Marry? Me? Now you’ve publicly pressured me into saying a date. I don’t know, time will tell. Right now, I’m very, very happy with Kelly. But personally I don’t have a schedule for when I’m going to get down on one knee in front of her. It’s all supposed to happen spontaneously.”
Verstappen was then asked whether he would propose during his time as an F1 driver. And the 26-year-old added: “As I said, I don’t know. The right day will come when we feel like we are stamping our relationship on paper as well.”

According to The Sun, Piquet works as a model, columnist, blogger and PR professional. She was born in Germany but spent much of her childhood in France, before studying in England for a year. She then moved to Brazil, before heading to college in New York, where she graduated with a degree in international relations.
Her father was one of the biggest stars in F1 during the 1980s and was world champion in 1981, 1983 and 1987. The 71-year-old raced in 204 Grands Prix and won 23 races before retiring from the sport in 1991 at the age 40.

“The family must be the haven of peace to be able to forget the stressful moments,” Verstappen explained as he spoke about his partner once again and their animals. “And Kelly knows the problems from her father’s career. I just love having a big family with lots of animals.
“At the moment [we have] three cats, because they are more independent than dogs. Especially when you travel, you can hardly take care of dogs. Or you can take them with you – and then you have to take care of them like a baby. This is very difficult for both sides.”
