Christian Horner and Toto Wolff see the potential impact in Max Verstappen's and Kelly Piquet's daughter could have in motorsport: 'the first female Monegasque F1 driver' could also be a marketing powerhouse in F1 due to 'her pedigree'.
When Horner is posed the question regarding the possibility of Verstappen's daughter becoming the first female Monegasque F1 driver, the Briton answers: "Absolutely, why not a woman? And as I was saying earlier, the pedigree of that little girl is quite phenomenal. So there'll be a rush to sign an option on her, no doubt. But yeah, why not?"

For Wolff however, the focus is more on the marketing aspect of Verstappen's and Piquet's daughter, due to her impressive last names.
"So I see it from two sides. I have an 8-year-old that's go-karting, and I think Max knows you don't want to put yourself emotionally through that roller coaster. At least that's what he said."

However, pointing to what hee believes is his wife Susie Wolff's successful management of F1 Academy, the female junior F1 support series, he stresses the need for female talent in the pinnacle of motorsport.
"But then we need more girls and women in Formula One. I'm obviously very, very biased. Seeing Susie and F1 Academy prosper and doing the right things. And that girl, as Christian says, if she were to call herself Piquet Verstappen, is also great for marketing, or the other way around."
