Russian Journalist claims Piquet has made Max Verstappen more mature

As reported by Championat, the Russian journalist Alexie Popov mentioned it surprised him how much Verstappen had matured in the 2021 season. He credited his girlfriend Kelly Piquet for the change in the Red Bull driver.

“You know, I’ve never been a fan of Max as a character, as a person, but this year I felt like his character had changed for the better — dramatically,” said Popov.

“I don’t know, maybe Kelly is the reason for this or just that he suddenly matured and something clicked, but somehow something changed at once. Yes, it has nothing to do with his aerobatics, but with how he reacts to things.

“Max in many ways perceived them more maturely than the 36-year-old seven-time world champion. I’m talking about Max’s reaction — on the radio, after the finish, and in the press. I sometimes wondered: was he replaced by anything? Who is this person?” said Popov.

Well, it is nice to see that Kelly has positively influenced the life of Max Verstappen. The Dutch driver came good at the end of the last season and showed maturity to beat Hamilton for the title.
