Max Verstappen also has a large number of supporters in the United States, as was evident again during the recent race weekend in Miami. However, this time his most loyal fans came from the Netherlands: alongside girlfriend Kelly Piquet, his mother, sister Victoria, and his two nephews were also present. For Verstappen, it is important that his family is occasionally present by the track or in the garage. “Of course, I don’t see them often,” he responded candidly.

Images of Verstappen’s family circulated all over the internet this weekend; the four-time world champion was repeatedly captured with his sister and nephews. The latter show striking similarities to their racing uncle, which stirred a lot of reactions among international fans: “They look so much like him,” was heard on social media. Verstappen is especially grateful that they can cheer him on occasionally – in his busy F1 life, he hardly has time for family.
“I indeed don’t see them very often,” Verstappen admitted in a private conversation with the Dutch press, including FORMULE 1 Magazine. “Then it’s really nice that we can make a fun weekend out of it this way.” In the past, Verstappen performed remarkably well in the presence of his sister Victoria. Did her presence also help in Miami? “She will of course say that too, then she can come much more often,” he joked. “But of course I enjoy it when they are there, absolutely.”
