The Dutchman could relax heading into the 2024 season finale last month having already secured the drivers' title for a fourth consecutive time back at the Las Vegas GP in November.

Verstappen topped off an already successful year on track at the final race in Abu Dhabi with the announcement that Piquet was expecting a baby, revealing his delight at the news and that he is already prepared for the new arrival.

The news cam prior to confirmation of another major change for the 27-year-old next season where he will have to adjust to racing alongside a new team-mate at Red Bull.

Following the conclusion of the 2024 season, Red Bull finally confirmed that Verstappen's team-mate of four years, Sergio Perez, would not be returning to the outfit.

Instead, Christian Horner's team opted to promote Liam Lawson from their junior F1 team, VCARB, giving the Kiwi racer a chance to prove himself against the four-time champion.

As the stars of the track gear up for a whole host of challenges in 2025, Verstappen and his partner Piquet partied on a skiing holiday, joined by family and friends to bring in the New Year.

Piquet posted to her personal Instagram page: "A beautiful start to 2025 with special people 💫 #HappyNewYear", alongside a collection of images showing off her baby bump, appearing loved-up with Verstappen and Piquet's daughter, Penelope.
