Max Verstappen’s girlfriend, Kelly Piquet, proved that she is his biggest supporter despite missing out on the top step of the podium at the Canadian Grand Prix. In the recently concluded Formula One race in Montreal, the Oracle Red Bull racing driver fell short after finishing in second place behind George Russell of the Mercedes team.

The FIA hit the Red Bull star and four-time world champion with a 10-second penalty in the race, followed by three penalty points on his super license. That means Verstappen enters the Canadian Grand Prix with 11 points total on his super license in total. F1's rules dictate 12 penalty points in a 12-month period trigger a one-race suspension.

George Russell has addressed the reports linking Max Verstappen to Mercedes during a brutally honest interview. On Sunday, Russell, 27, won the Canadian Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve ahead of Verstappen and Kimi Antonelli.

Christian Horner has revealed that Red Bull approached the FIA ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix to keep them savvy to ‘gamesmanship’ involving Max Verstappen. The Dutchman went into the weekend one penalty point away from a one-race suspension. This was something that other drivers considered exploiting.
