A recurring guest once again appeared on Max Verstappen's live stream. Kelly Piquet's daughter, Penelope, was riding her bike in the room, hitting purple sectors. Something Verstappen noted he does not anymore.
Is Penelope setting faster laps than Verstappen?
As Verstappen was streaming with Team Readline, Penelope was completing laps on her bicycle. 'Is it going to be a purple lap, P?" 'bonus dad' Verstappen asked her. After she answered with a yes, Verstappen added: "Well, at least she is hitting purples, I'm not hitting purples anymore, haha."
Kelly Piquet's daughter often appears in Verstappen's Twitch streams, as the Dutchman is sim racing, often producing funny moments. Soon, there will be another kid in the Verstappen household, as Penelope is set to have a little brother or sister. Verstappen and Piquet's first child together is expected in April.
After visiting Paris and Miami among other places because of her work in fashion, Kelly Piquet announced she is returning to Monaco as she prepares to give birth. While Verstappen hopes it will not take place during the upcoming tripleheader, he previously said in the world of F1, drivers cannot miss a single event unlike football players.
