Parent Disappearance in Miami Linked to Newborn's Arrival on Thursday
Get ready to rumble, papa's got a new race to win!
Max Verstappen, the dashing Formula-1 champion, will be missing the media day at the Miami Grand Prix due to an impending paternity duty. It looks like he's about to become a dad for the first time! Red Bull, his racing team, publicly announced his absence, expressing respect for his privacy and his family's confidentiality.
However, don't worry, racing fans! Max will be back on the track by Friday. Get ready to tune in to Central European time at 6:30 PM, as the only free practice session kicks off. The sprint race grid for Saturday will be determined four hours later.
Formula-1 dad-gone-wild: World Champion, family man, and adrenaline junkie—that's our Max! He's been in a whirlwind relationship with Kelly Piquet since 2020. She's the 36-year-old daughter of the Brazilian former world champion, Nelson Piquet. And yeah, she's already got a daughter, from a previous relationship with Russian ex-Formula-1 driver, Daniil Kvyat.
Now, let's talk about the competition. Lando Norris, another McLaren driver, is also returning to Miami, reminiscing about his first Formula-1 win there back in 2024. But, watch out for his teammate, Oscar Piastri! The Australian is gunning for another victory in Miami after clinching the lead in the World Championship with his win in Saudi Arabia.
Piastri is aiming for a hat-trick on Sunday, but Norris is hungry for a comeback after dealing with some recent setbacks. He's confident, stated that he's got the pace, and just needs to sort out a few kinks in qualifying sessions. Tune in to ServusTV this weekend to witness the action live!
