A filmmaker with a soft spot for Ronnie Peterson, Gilles Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen and above all, Tazio Nuvolari and Ayrton Senna, is also a diehard Formula One fan since the age of 4 (mid-90's). An avid researcher of the past of Grand Prix Racing since before it was even named F1, and with a thirst for knowledge of the ins and outs of the actuality of the sport, as well as for the technical aspects that define it, is a member of GPblog since 2023, where he has put his love of racing to good use.
Max Verstappen seems to be on his way to the Miami Grand Prix, after his traveling plans were delayed due to his baby's upcoming arrival.
On X there's an account solely dedicated to tracking Verstappen's airplaine movements. Said account has reported that Verstappen's 8X jet has taken off from the Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, the closest air terminal to Monaco, Verstappen's place of residence.
Verstappen to miss media day in Miami
The delay in the Dutchman's traveling plans were due to his upcoming baby's arrival, as GPblog reported earlier. Red Bull confirmed as much later on. However, the question regarding Verstappen's baby arriving or not, is yet to be answered, with more news surrounding the child's birth expected within the coming hours.

This would be Verstappen's first child, and his girlfriend's Kelly Piquet's second, with the Brazilian model mothering a child already from a previous marriage to former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat, Verstappen's stepdaughter, Penelope.
