The winter break has provided drivers with a great opportunity to spend some off-time with their family and friends. Some drivers went away to take part in daring, high-adrenaline sports away from the grid. However, the reigning world champion Max Verstappen decided to spend some time with his girlfriend Kelly Piquet and her daughter Penelope.

The three spent a great time at the pool with each other as Piquet uploaded a reel on her Instagram. All of them were in the pool together as depicted in the short clip as the Dutchman was shirtless diving with his partner and step-daughter. Kelly Piquet was also in a black swimsuit alongside Verstappen as depicted in the video.

Piqeut’s daughter Penelope was enjoying her time as she put on her swimming goggles and was on top of her mother’s back. However, the couple did not disclose the exact location of this lovely getaway to the public, but the presence of palm trees in the clip hints at a nice and warm vacation spot. The clip captured Penelope and Verstappen, both smiling and giggling joyfully.

However, in the small clip, there is no exchange of words as no one is seen talking to one another. However, the video remains a standing proof of the lovely bond between the three people, Verstappen, Piquet, and Penelope. Verstappen treats Penelope as his own daughter as the 26-year-old has also had cute moments with her before this vacation clip.

Red Bull reportedly failed the crash test for the RB20

The dominating performance this season from Max Verstappen has been highly applauded all over the F1 grid. Despite this year’s rampant performance, the team on multiple occasions has raised doubts over the probability of replicating such a performance for the subsequent season as well.

In addition to this, Red Bull also failed the crash test for the RB-20 and hence things might be not looking the best for Milton Keynes over the winter break. According to reports, the car’s front muzzle failed to absorb the entire impact of the crash, finally damaging the chassis of the RB20 and effectively failing the crash test.

However, Red Bull is working day in and day out over the car for the following season and will surely put forth a promising car much like this season. Adrian Newey‘s capabilities as the designer will not disappoint Milton Keynes and its fans and hence, it’s a matter of time until the British team picks its gears up and displays the improvements in the next season.
