The 2026 Miami Grand Prix wasn't exactly a victory lap for Max Verstappen, but his girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, made sure the spotlight stayed on the Red Bull Racing star's camp. The model and influencer turned up in a head-turning all-white ensemble that had fans and photographers alike doing double takes.
While Verstappen crossed the finish line in fifth place—a rare off-podium result for the four-time world champion—Piquet dominated the fashion game. Her Miami-ready look, complete with sleek accessories and a tropical vibe, sparked a wave of adoration online. Comments flooded in, with one fan writing, “😍😍😍😍,” another calling her “La plus belle❤️❤️❤️,” and a third declaring, “Belíssima 😍❤️.”
It's not the first time Piquet has stolen the show at a sporting event. The daughter of three-time F1 champion Nelson Piquet has become a fixture in the paddock, often turning heads with her style. This weekend, she proved once again that she knows how to make an entrance—even when her boyfriend's race didn't go as planned.
On the track, Mercedes' A.K. Antonelli claimed the win, with Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri rounding out the podium. Verstappen's fifth-place finish was a rare stumble for a driver who has dominated the sport for half a decade. But as other sports power couples have shown, sometimes the real buzz comes from the stands.
Off the track, Verstappen has been open about contemplating retirement after the 2026 season. “That’s what I’m saying. I’m thinking about everything inside this paddock,” he told reporters. “Privately I’m very happy. You also wait for 24 races. This time it’s 22. But normally 24. And then you just think about is it worth it? Or do I enjoy being more at home with my family? Seeing my friends more when you’re not enjoying your sport?”
If Verstappen does decide to hang up his helmet, he'll have plenty of time to enjoy life with Piquet, who clearly knows how to keep things stylish. For now, though, the F1 world is left wondering what's next for the Dutch driver—and what Piquet will wear to the next race.
