Verstappen shares ADORABLE summer snaps with Kelly Piquet as F1 star meets his match

Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen may have finally met his match for pace after the three-time world champion shared some adorable photos from a recent summer trip with partner Kelly Piquet.

Verstappen was recently enjoying some time away from the track with his partner during F1's summer break, which has now ended with the arrival of this weekend's Dutch Grand Prix.

The Dutchman will be hoping to further extend his championship lead at his home race as he chases a fourth consecutive title, as well as put an end to his current five-race victory drought.

Before the summer break, the three-time champion was beginning to get a little frustrated with his car's lack of performance, culminating in an X-rated rant to his team during a disastrous Hungarian Grand Prix.

Verstappen holidays with Kelly Piquet

Like many drivers, Verstappen has spent his summer break unwinding with holidays and fun activities, as well as keeping his fitness up in an unusual fashion.

Brazilian model Piquet has been with Verstappen since 2020 and appeared to ditch her partner in favor of sunnier climes earlier this month, jetting off to Portugal with her daughter.

Verstappen then reunited with Piquet, who is the daughter of another three-time F1 world champion in Nelson Piquet, and the couple have since been enjoying Portugal together.

Now, the Dutchman has shown off some gorgeous photos of his holiday in the sun, including chasing an adorable dog on a white-sanded Comporta beach.

By the looks of things, Verstappen could not match the speed of his fluffy friend, with the three-time champion finally meeting his match in terms of pace.
