Verstappen shares funny anecdote about Kelly Piquet’s daughter Penelope

Verstappen carries a phone in a case covered with cat stickers. He explained why to De Telegraaf: “Penelope keeps sticking things on my phone.

t’s not the first time Penelope has gotten hold of the four-time world champion’s phone. During a recent livestream, Verstappen suddenly lost it, and it turned out ‘P’ was busy adding stickers.

During that same livestream, dachshund Nino also made an appearance. The dog joined the family earlier this year. The Verstappen household also has three cats.

“A whole zoo,” Verstappen said. “I walk the dog myself too, yes of course! But mostly in the evening.”

Earlier this month Verstappen spoke about his family life. He said he’s lucky with his baby Lily, who sleeps through the night and therefore doesn’t wake the defending world champion too much.

He also said he isn’t too strict with Penelope, since he isn’t her father. He leaves that to her mother, Kelly.
