Imagine having your mommy fight your battles and bringing personal shit into it. Sophie Kumpen everybody! 🤦♀️ Maybe she should look into what (or who) is miss Kelly Piquet doing when she's not following Max to races. Monaco is small, people are talking. 🤫

What in the world is wrong with the Verstappens. I hope Checo lawyers up bc that's character defamation.
@redbullracing You need to do something about it with the statements of the Verstappen family, you are not only letting the team and fans down, they are bullying Checo Perez, I think this is going too far, it is disrespectful towards Sergio and his family.
Are you stupids @redbullracing you support the worst family

About the Monaco night, however, Perez issued a public apology to his wife later on, on social media. The former Racing Point driver wrote, “I have seen the videos that have been circulating about me and I take responsibility for it. It was a bad party that I didn’t know how to control at the height of the person that I am, but it was just that, a very bad party.”
@Max33Verstappen @redbullracing @OfficialHorner @HelmutMarko what is it??? As humans not only members of a F1 community, resolve this situation right away...

All in all, the fans were not at all pleased with the way a world champion’s mother decided to defend his son online. Not sure if Perez cheat on his wife or not, it wasn’t a way to go about it, the fans believe.
