A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
For a whole day speculation was rife regarding Max Verstappen's fatherhood. Now the Dutchman himself has revealed he and girlfriend Kelly Piquet are proud parents to a beautiful baby girl.
GPblog was the first to report yesterday that Verstappen had delayed his flight to the US to take part in the Miami Grand Prix. The reason? Kelly Piquet going into labour.
After Red Bull Racing's short statement confirming that was the case, it was only a matter of time before the birth of the 'mini Verstappen-Piquet' baby was announced.

The colour pattern for the baby shower, Piquet picking out baby girl's clothes in a department store, and a message written on a baby shower journal all pointed to Verstappen and Piquet having a girl.
In the end the clues - inadvertently - given along the past few months were true. Piquet gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl, whom the couple have named Lily.
Verstappen not to stay long after the race in Miami
Indeed, as GPblog understands Verstappen is expected to finish the race in Miami and then hop on the plane back to Monaco where his girlfriend and his newborn chld await the 4-time world champion.
