Verstappen and Kelly Proud Parents of Lily: How Penelope Reacted!

As a brand-new father, your life is turned upside down. For Verstappen, this is somewhat mitigated, as he himself says: “Of course, I've been there with Penelope since she was one year old. You do get used to it. So it's not suddenly a shock in my life that everything feels completely different. That has certainly helped a lot,” Verstappen explains to the Dutch media, including GPblog.

Verstappen confirms that he will also take on fatherly duties. "As much as you can. When they are so small, they are more dependent on the mother," Verstappen explains. Changing diapers is still possible. "That will certainly happen eventually. Sometimes in emergencies, of course!"

And perhaps Penelope can also assist Verstappen in caring for the little one at times. P. is happy about the arrival of the little one. “She had been looking forward to it for a long time. So it's all nice to see,” says Verstappen.

The baby was eventually named Lily. Max Verstappen explains who chose the name: "Of course, I wanted Kelly to choose more, but we both agreed on it."
