Kelly Piquet has revealed a shocking twist in the world of Formula 1 — Max Verstappen may step away from the sport following the 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 of their first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥. The unexpected revelation comes just months after the couple announced they are expecting, sending fans into a frenzy over the future of the four-time F1 champion.

Speaking candidly about Max’s possible exit from the racing world, Kelly shared, “Max has always been incredibly dedicated to his career, but the thought of becoming a father has shifted his perspective. He wants to be fully present for this new chapter in our lives.”

The Dutch driver, who has long been known for his relentless pursuit of victory, now faces a deeply personal decision — one that could reshape his future both on and off the track. Despite previously insisting that he would not miss a race, even for the 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 of his 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, Kelly’s comments suggest that Verstappen might be reconsidering his stance.

“It’s not an easy choice for him,” Kelly continued. “But family means everything, and Max knows that some moments are too precious to miss.”

This revelation has left the F1 community buzzing with speculation. Will Max Verstappen truly walk away from the high-octane world of Formula 1 to embrace fatherhood? And if so, what does this mean for Red Bull’s future, as they prepare to battle McLaren and other top contenders for the championship?

For now, fans are left waiting, watching, and wondering — as one of the sport’s brightest stars weighs the most important race of his life: the race to be there for his growing family.
