The legendary Brazilian Piquet won three Formula One championships in the 1980s and remained a fixture in the paddock for many years thereafter.

Daniil Kvyat, a Russian, and Kelly had a past relationship.
A daughter named Penelope was born to the couple in January 2017, just months before their December 2019 breakup.
Verstappen met Kelly almost a year later, and in January 2021, he made his Instagram account public.
In a strange turn of events, Verstappen took Kvyat’s spot at Red Bull during the second part of the 2016 F1 season.
