Formula 1 fans received an unexpected surprise this week when Kelly Piquet, the Brazilian model and girlfriend of reigning world champion Max Verstappen, posted a series of new sunny holiday photos on Instagram. The couple, who has been together since 2020, often shares moments from their lives outside the racing track, but this newest series of images attracts attention for a special reason.
With an idyllic tropical decor in the background we see Kelly and Max enjoying precious time together, far away from the hectic pace of the Formula 1 calendar. There are photos of the duo hand in hand on the beach, relaxing on a yacht and sipping cocktails while the sun is slowly going under. Kelly’s radiant smile and Max’s relaxed attitude sketch the image of two people who feel completely at ease together-a rare face for fans who usually see Verstappen in the intense atmosphere of F1 Paddock.
But one specific photo provides a storm of reactions online. On the image, Kelly lovingly leans against Max while holding a camera in her hand. What everyone strikes, however, is that the shot seems to be spontaneous – made possible just before a kiss. Fans have flooded the responses with speculation, emojis and sweet messages, where some people call it “the most romantic photo they have ever shared”.
It didn’t take long before social media exploded. Fan pages, F1 forums and even lifestyle magazines picked up the viral image. Many emphasized how special it is to see Verstappen so openly lovingly in public. For a driver who is known for his uncompromising focus on racing, this photo is a reminder that he is just a 27-year-old man who is in love outside the track.
The moment of their vacation is also the subject of conversation. Now that the summer break is busy in Formula 1, many drivers take the time to charge for the second half of the season. For Max, who leads the ranking with a large lead, this is a well -deserved break. In the meantime, Kelly shares moments of their journey with its 1.3 million Instagram followers, combining personal images with Glamor – exactly appropriate to her career as a model and influencer.
The destination itself seems to be a tropical paradise, although Kelly and Max have not shared a location. However, attentive fans suspect that it is somewhere in the Maldives or in the Caribbean, to judge the turquoise water, the palm trees and the snow -white beaches. This touch of mystery only makes the photo series more attractive, and followers hope for more updates.
In addition to the romance and the beautiful decor, the photos also show the soft side of a couple that is often in the media. Max and Kelly have managed to maintain their relationship at a high level while balancing their own careers and public images. Their ability to share such intimate moments without giving up their privacy has made them one of the most admired couples in both the Motorsport and Lifestyle World.
While the reactions continue to flow in, it is clear that fans don’t get enough of this holiday atmosphere. “Relationship Goals” is a common statement under the post, where many praise the authenticity of their band. Especially that one photo has been shared, edited and even converted into fan art countless times, which again proves how great the public fascination for the relationship between Verstappen and Piquet is.
For the time being Kelly and Max keep the details of their trip ahead. But with the new F1 racing season that will be resumed soon, Verstappen will soon trade the sand of the beach again for the asphalt of the world’s most famous circuits. Until that time, these cute holiday photos – and especially that one unforgettable image – remain the topic of conversation on social media.
