Max Verstappen's girlfriend
Kelly Piquet was not present at the
Bahrain Grand Prix last weekend and did not see her lover secure his first
Formula 1 victory of the year. However, the Brazilian had a good reason for that.
This is why Kelly Piquet was not with Verstappen in Bahrain
Verstappen has been in a relationship with
Kelly Piquet, daughter of three-time
F1 world champion
Nelson Piquet, for a few years now. Ahead of the first GP of the year, Verstappen's girlfriend posted another picture on her Instagram, showing the couple together in Bahrain. At the race weekend itself, however, she was not present.
Kelly's absence was due to her professional commitments: as she was in Paris, attending Paris Fashion Week. The event takes place from Monday 26 February to Tuesday 5 March and is considered one of the highlights of the year for the fashion world. Earlier, Kelly attended Haute Couture Week in Paris. On social media, she shared several snaps of her outfits during the fashion events.
