Penelope, the spirited daughter of Kelly Piquet and former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat, continues to captivate fans with her radiant charm and mischief. Often seen interrupting Max Verstappen’s livestreams with a giggle or an affectionate kiss, she has become an unexpected star in the world of Formula 1’s off-track life. Her playful nickname “P” has become part of family lore, echoing through the Monaco home she shares with her mother and Verstappen. Whether she’s twirling in ballet class, riding horses, or cheering from the paddock, Penelope embodies pure joy — the kind that reminds even world champions to slow down and smile.
Born in July 2019, Penelope entered a world already racing at full speed. Kelly Piquet, a Brazilian model and columnist, described motherhood as “a Pandora’s box full of surprises,” cherishing every stage from newborn giggles to school-day curiosity. After parting ways with Kvyat, Piquet began her relationship with Max Verstappen in 2020, creating a blended family dynamic that has drawn admiration across the paddock. Despite the fame surrounding her, Penelope’s life remains grounded in affection, laughter, and discovery. Her fifth birthday in 2024, marked by a whimsical butterfly garden party, perfectly reflected the innocence and wonder that define her young spirit.
Beyond the spotlight, Penelope’s bond with Verstappen has flourished into something genuinely touching. Though Verstappen emphasizes he’s “not the father,” their connection speaks volumes — one built on laughter, respect, and shared affection. From cheering “Max, yeah!” in Japan’s parc fermé to sharing cozy moments at home, she brings balance to a life otherwise dominated by competition and pressure. Her spontaneous appearances during his simulator sessions — calling him “Maxie” mid-race — have melted the hearts of fans worldwide, revealing a softer side of the triple world champion rarely seen on track.
Adventurous by nature, Penelope has already embraced a kaleidoscope of experiences — swimming for the first time in Bahrain, go-karting with her parents, and discovering snow-dusted mountains in winter. Whether sea-bobbing off Verstappen’s yacht or riding horses where her mother once trained as a child, Penelope’s days unfold like a series of vibrant postcards. She has inherited not just her mother’s grace but also the competitive fire of the Piquet-Verstappen lineage — an enchanting mix of elegance and courage.
In May 2025, Penelope stepped into a new role: big sister. The arrival of baby Lily deepened the family’s warmth, filling their Monaco home with even more laughter and love. For Kelly Piquet, motherhood remains her most profound journey — a lesson in patience, devotion, and unconditional love. And for fans watching from afar, Penelope isn’t just “Baby P” anymore — she’s the beating heart of one of Formula 1’s most adored modern families, a little girl whose light effortlessly bridges the worlds of racing glory and everyday magic.
