The 2025 F1 season is over, and the holidays are in full force. Christmas came and went, and gifts have changed hands, and Max Verstappen getting the best ever present from his partner, Kelly Piquet, was not on his bingo card. At least not the specific gift in question. But fans were having a hoot when Piquet herself posted a picture with Verstappen holding the gift in his hand.
But what is this gift everyone is talking about, you ask? Well, Piquet actually had the amazing idea to give the Red Bull star a T-shirt that had the viral Verstappen meme moment from the Las Vegas Grand Prix podium printed on it. Piquet had Max holding up the T-shirt for her, and posted a picture of that, making fans laugh hilariously.
Max Verstappen's Christmas gift from Kelly Piquet goes viral
Max Verstappen, being his cheeky self, wore multicolored glasses that had Las Vegas written on top, cigarette in mouth, and middle finger raised, while holding the trophy wearing his Red Bull racing suit. That's the exact meme from the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix, also known as the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix 2025, which Verstappen won, that was printed on a black T-shirt that his girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, gave to him as a Christmas gift.

Piquet then shared a photo of Max holding up the T-shirt and shared it on her Instagram Stories. She posted the story on Boxing Day, a holiday in the UK and other Commonwealth nations that's celebrated on the day after Christmas. Fans of course found it absolutely hilarious, with some even saying that Verstappen could wear the T-shirt to the next driver's parade.
Some are also speculating if it's AI made, while others are saying, "Max Verstappen may have received the best F1-related gift this Christmas." It is indeed the best one, if Piquet actually did get it for him this Christmas. Piquet, who is a Brazilian and Dutch model, columnist, blogger, and public relations professional, and Verstappen - have been together since 2020, and have a daughter together, Lily, who was born earlier this year.
