In line with recent news, fans from all over the world have shared their heartfelt reactions. Yesterday, Kelly Piquet revealed that she and Max Verstappen had previously lost a child, and thus consider their daughter Lily (born in early May 2025) a “Rainbow Baby.”
The couple has been dating since 2020 and has often been spotted together in the Formula 1 paddock during Grand Prix weekends. With Piquet calling Lily a “Rainbow Baby” and sharing that they knew the gender of their newborn last year, fans have responded with touching messages of support.
One fan tweeted, “So thrilled for Max and Kelly because they really wanted a baby, and I’m so happy it has happened. There is no greater joy than having a child.” Another added, “As someone who’s gone through this, I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for them and the anxiety they would have experienced. So happy for them ❤️.”
Another fan expressed, “He looks so happy. That just shows how much Lily was wanted and is loved.” There were other warm messages as well: “I want nothing but the best for them,” and “It’s so special to know that our babies are not only two weeks apart but are also both rainbow babies — our tiny miracles.”
One message read, “Aww 🙁 I’m so sorry. I hope Lily (and Piquet) brings them all the happiness they deserve.”

**”It’s Two Against One”: F1 Pundit Gives Tough Take on Max Verstappen’s 2025 Title Chances**
Max Verstappen has once again carried Red Bull singlehandedly during the 2025 Formula 1 season. After 20 rounds of the ongoing campaign, he sits third in the drivers’ standings and remains in contention for the title. His teammate, Yuki Tsunoda, is currently outside the top 15.
Verstappen is 36 points behind McLaren’s Lando Norris, with only four races left. F1 pundit Martin Brundle believes Verstappen faces a challenging battle ahead.
“Because of the remaining four events, I believe McLaren will be faster in at least two of them,” Brundle said. “It’s two against one. Max doesn’t have a rear gunner up there, and every so often, a Ferrari or a Mercedes is grabbing the bigger points in the top three as well.”
So far this season, Verstappen has secured five wins and 11 podiums, accumulating 321 points on his quest for the championship.
