Max Verstappen's unexpected return to the Netherlands sparks speculation

Max Verstappen races under the Dutch flag but isn't found in the Netherlands on a daily basis. The Red Bull Racing driver resides, like many other drivers, in Monaco. Max Verstappen lives there with his girlfriend Kelly Piquet, daughter Lilly and stepdaughter Penelope.

However, Verstappen has temporarily returned to the Netherlands. Verstappen's private jet took off from Nice, the airport near his residence, on Tuesday morning. Not long after, Verstappen landed at the airport of Aarlanderveen, in South Holland. Where Verstappen is headed, is still unknown for now.

Over the past weekend, Max Verstappen participated in the British Grand Prix. There, Verstappen impressively secured the pole position on Saturday, only to fall back to fifth place in the rain race. Verstappen is now third in the world championship, at a considerable distance from Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris.
