After the first and only practice session of the Miami Grand Prix, Charles Leclerc went to meet Max Verstappen and congratulate him on his and girlfriend Kelly Piquet's first child together, Lily.

The couple have since received many congratulations from several drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Nico Hulkenberg, and Fernando Alonso.
