Kelly Piquet posted a series of pictures featuring her partner, Max Verstappen, and her daughters, Lily and Penelope. They could be seen spending their summers on a yacht, chilling out in the blazing sun.
As the break came to an end, Piquet shared the video of a beautiful sun setting down behind a cliff. The reflection on the waters and silhouettes of other yachts made it an amazing sight. Sophie Kumpen, Max Verstappen's mother, also liked the post.
After spending enough time around the water, Max Verstappen will soon be making return to the race track next week. He has been going through a difficult season this time around, losing chances of clinching his fifth consecutive F1 World Championship. As McLaren continues to dominate ahead of the grid, Red Bull's RB21 has been consistently losing out on the peace, making it a difficult job for its drivers.
Max Verstappen opens up on Red Bull's form this season
Red Bull racing was the commanding force on the grid in 2022 and 2023, Max Verstappen won four consecutive World Championships and kept the team in total dominance over the grid. However, their performance began declining last season, and they have dropped down to fourth place in the constructors' Championship currently.
The team is in its worst form since 2021, and there seems to be no recovery from it. Both Championships are seemingly out bounds for them, and Verstappen seems to have accepted this. Earlier, he shared his opinion on their form, saying that they are no longer the fastest team on the grid.
"You also just have to accept where you're at," he said (via F1). "Yeah, we are not the quickest at the moment, but we're also not the slowest. We always want to be better, and actually that was the same when we were winning. Now we're not winning that much."
He added:
"We just try to focus on understanding the car a bit better, where we can find our time, because of course next year there's new regulations, but I think there's still a lot to learn also this year."
Earlier this season, Verstappen was a contender for the championship, securing two victories at Suzuka and Imola. However, the RB21 has failed to deliver against its competition.
