The final Grand Prix of the 2024 season takes place today in Abu Dhabi. Max Verstappen is hoping to finish his championship-winning campaign with a strong result, and he can count on the support of Kelly Piquet's daughter, Penelope as well.
On Friday, Verstappen and Kelly Piquet announced that they are expecting their first child together. Before that, Verstappen called himself a 'bonus dad' for Kelly Piquet's daughter, Penelope. 'P' also hugged the driver before the final race of the season.
Verstappen will start the Grand Prix from the second row of the grid. The Dutchman initially qualified in P5, however, Nico Hulkenberg was given a three-place grid penalty. Therefore, Verstappen will line up alongside Carlos Sainz's Ferrari.
