Max Verstappen and his Formula 1 colleagues can now go on vacation, as the summer break has begun. The girlfriend of the Dutchman, Kelly Piquet, was already on the beach when the four-time world champion drove in the Hungarian Grand Prix. The Brazilian has since shared a number of new holiday photos.
Piquet already shared over the weekend that she was going on vacation. She stated that she has been quieter for several reasons in the past month, something she would recommend to others. She then announced that she would be going to her favourite vacation spot with family and friends.
Later, images of the vacation were also shared, on which Piquet's daughter, Penelope, could be seen. More photos were posted on Instagram on Wednesday. Piquet hinted at a festive meal, with a very long table.
She also shared photos of a route to the beach, through the rocks. Finally, Piquet also posted a photo with her and Verstappen's baby, Lily, whom the two welcomed in the run-up to the Miami Grand Prix.
Whether Verstappen is also present on the vacation is not clear from the photos. The Dutchman is on summer break and will have until the last weekend of August, between August 29 and August 31, when his home Grand Prix begins the second half of the F1 season. Then Formula 1 travels to Zandvoort to drive the penultimate Dutch Grand Prix here.
Verstappen had a tough time in the last race before the summer break. The Dutchman finished the race in ninth place. The four-time world champion thus received two points, putting him in third place with 187 points, almost a hundred points behind the leader, Oscar Piastri.
