Alongside Max Verstappen’s stunning performance in Brazil, there was another reason for the Dutchman and Kelly Piquet’s family to celebrate last weekend. During the Sao Paulo Grand Prix weekend, former
F1 driver Nelson Piquet Jr. shared the news of the birth of Lily Verstappen's new cousin, Vida.
On Instagram, the proud parents posted: "Welcome to the world, Vida!
"Mom and Dad love you so much!!!! May God bless and protect you always. My heart is overflowing with joy. Thank you for capturing this moment!!!"
This was not the first time Verstappen became an uncle, as
he already has three nephews through his sister, Victoria.

Verstappen completes stunning São Paulo GP comeback
Starting from the pit lane at
Interlagos, the defending world champion narrowly missed out on second place, with Kimi Antonelli holding him off in the closing laps.
The Dutchman originally qualified in P16, but started from the pit lane
after his car was also equipped with a new power unit.
Although Verstappen completed an outstanding race, Lando Norris won from pole position and extended his lead in the drivers’ standings.
The Dutchman is now behind by 49 points with three rounds left to go in the 2025 season.
| Position | Drivers | Points |
| P1 | Lando Norris (McLaren) | 390 |
| P2 | Oscar Piastri (McLaren) | 366 |
| P3 | Max Verstappen (Red Bull) | 341 |
