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.
