Max Verstappen's partner, Kelly Piquet also reflected on the situation in Gaza, similarly to Lewis Hamilton, on social media.

In her most recent Instagram stories, the Brazilian shared a reel where a Hungarian-Canadian Holocaust survivor is talking about the situation in Gaza.

In an Instagram story, Piquet wrote: "Auschwitz and Gaza are not a one-to-one comparison, but the human cruelty, lack of humanity, deliberate suffering imposed on people, the energy of it is the same."

Later she also shared a post from Save the Children, which writes: "Children tell their parents they want to go to heaven, because at least heaven has food."

Earlier this weekend, Lewis Hamilton had earlier also reflected on the situation in Gaza, advocating for a ceasefire.
