On Sunday, Formula 1’s hottest property, Max Verstappen won the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. And later that day, across the Atlantic, near the West Coast of the United States, Daniel Suarez won his first NASCAR Cup Series race at Sonoma Raceway.

But there’s more to the connection between the F1 driver and the NASCAR driver.

This is because both Verstappen and Suarez are dating the daughters of the former F1 driver, Nelson Piquet. The Red Bull driver is in a relationship with Kelly Piquet, and the Trackhouse Racing driver is in one with her sister, Julia Piquet.

How did Max Verstappen and Daniel Suarez meet the Piquet sisters?

Although there’s no set record or date to specifically point out exactly when Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet started dating, the year they started seeing each other was in 2020, according to a report.

It was then when Verstappen split up with his former girlfriend and Piquet split up with former Toro Rosso driver Daniil Kvyat that they met and began dating each other.
