The most interesting Formula 1 season for many years, which had perhaps the most epic outcome in history, has come to an end. Max Verstappen became the champion by going ahead of his main opponent Lewis Hamilton in the final lap in Abu Dhabi thanks to the sudden crash of Nicholas Latifi and the arrival of the safety car.
His girlfriend Kelly Piquet supported him in the stands. Now two of her close people are Formula One champions, as Kelly's father, Nelson Piquet, is a three-time F-1 World Champion. She is also the ex-girlfriend of the best Russian Formula One driver Daniil Kvyat and a mother of his daughter. Metaratings.ru will tell you about the 33-year-old Brazilian whose life is full of speed.

She was born in the USA and was a volunteer in Tanzania
Kelly was born on December 7, 1988, in Hamburg, Germany to a family of three-time World Champion, the Brazilian Nelson Piquet. The girl spent all her childhood in France. Kelly studied in Europe, though she graduated from high school in Brazil.
After school, she enrolled in the Marymount Manhattan College in New York, majoring in political science and economics at the International Relations department.
When she studied in college, she undertook a fashion internship. She became a blogger and a regular columnist in Marie Claire magazine. Her articles were published by Vogue Latin America, Bergdorf Goodman, and the KCD news agency. Piquet also took part in photoshoots as a model.
Kelly is fluent in three languages — English, French, and Portuguese. She was a volunteer in Tanzania and taught English for three months. Since 2014, Kelly has been in charge of the SMM department of the Formula E electric series.
The affair with Daniil Kvyat
Before Max Verstappen, Kelly was the girlfriend of Russian racing driver Daniil Kvyat. They started dating in 2017. "It happened in Monaco during my vacation. Our common friend introduced us to each other. All that Daniil and I said during our first meeting was 'Hi!'" said Kelly in her interview to Autosport.
In July 2019, the couple had a daughter, Penelope. Unfortunately, her birth did not strengthen their relationship. Several months later, Kelly and Daniil broke up. Piquet wrote about the break-up on her Instagram: "December 18, 2019 — nothing in your life can leave without a possible replacement. The end always has a reason. When you cannot quite figure out why — it's okay, time will always provide more answers. Keep moving forward and believe that the best is ahead.

After the break-up with Daniil Kvyat, Kelly wasn't a single mother for a long time. She soon found a new love. They told about their relationship in October 2020, when they started to post their photos from their vacation in Brazil.
By the way, the Brazilian racer had stolen a place in the Red Bull team from Kvyat several years before. And now he lives with the mother of his child.
On her Instagram, Kelly often shares snapshots of herself and Max. The couple often spends time together — travels, goes to the competitions, walks with their friends. Kelly tries not to miss her boyfriend's races.
In her interview to Glamour, Kelly described the emotions she has during Max's races: "These are mixed feelings, of course. On the one hand, I am always happy to support him, but on the other hand, I am always nervous and worry if everything goes well, if he gets hurt in an accident. Usually, the fear of a crash is not the first that comes to my mind, but after two big accidents Max has been this year, I am much more nervous.
This is the charming beauty who supports new Formula One champion Max Verstappen during his preparation for important races. During the championship season, the 24-year-old Dutch has become much more mature in his reaction to various stressful situations, surely not without Kelly's involvement.
