After wrapping up his Brazilian holiday, Red Bull star Max Verstappen has immersed himself in preparations for the F1 2026 season. While the four-time world champion got busy with the new livery launch and geared up for the first test, his girlfriend Kelly Piquet used the time to conduct a fan interaction on Instagram. During the session, she answered questions about their baby girl Lily, her bond with her elder daughter Penelope, and her goals for 2026. She also responded to a question about whom eight-month-old Lily resembles more, Piquet or Verstappen.
