The F1 2024 season concluded at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix last month, where the Dutchman could relax knowing he had already secured the drivers' title earlier in the season.

His team on the other hand could only manage third place in the constructors' championship, with McLaren stealing the crown following a glorious race win from driver Lando Norris in Abu Dhabi.

Ferrari also beat Red Bull in the team standings, with Christian Horner's outfit falling behind thanks to the poor performances of Verstappen's team-mate, Sergio Perez.

The final race weekend of 2024 did feature some good news for Verstappen however, as he revealed his partner Piquet was expecting a baby.

Following what could be considered as Verstappen's most challenging F1 season yet, the 27-year-old has been pictured enjoying a festive break with friends, his partner Piquet and her daughter Penelope.

Piquet shares her daughter with former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat, and following the announcement that she was expecting another child with Verstappen, the Red Bull star revealed he already feels prepared to become a father thanks to his training with Penelope already.

As the family enjoy their winter break, Piquet took to social media to share further snaps from their festive family holiday, declaring Penelope her 'twin'.
