Max Verstappen isn’t just dominating Formula 1 – he’s also making waves as a streamer for Team Redline. And during his latest livestream, viewers got an adorable surprise visitor.
Penelope, the daughter of Verstappen’s girlfriend Kelly Piquet, popped into frame with a message that had everyone laughing.
“Hi silly, silly boys!” she announced to Max’s teammates.
Verstappen couldn’t help but crack up. “They are indeed silly!” he agreed with a grin.
It’s not the first time Penelope has stolen the show during Max’s streams. She often drops by to check what the three-time world champion is up to during his sim racing sessions, creating some pretty cute moments for viewers.
The timing couldn’t be better for some family fun. Verstappen’s heading to Las Vegas next, where he’ll be aiming to add another incredible achievement to his already stunning 2023 season.
While he’s already wrapped up this year’s championship, there are still records to chase and races to win. But for now, it seems even the most dominant driver in F1 isn’t too busy for some quality time with family – even if it means getting called out as “silly” during a livestream.
These glimpses into Verstappen’s life away from the track show a different side of the fierce competitor F1 fans see on race weekends. Whether he’s battling for position at 200mph or playing racing games at home, family’s clearly never far away.
