“Happy birthday Mashy,” Max Verstappen’s girlfriend Kelly Piquet shares adorable birthday wish for the F1 champion on IG

While the F1 paddock gets a much-deserved rest before the next race in Austin, Red Bull star Max Verstappen is celebrating his 27th birthday. With birthday messages having begun pouring in from around the world, his partner Kelly Piquet shared an adorable post on social media to mark the occasion.

Max Verstappen has been the most consistent driver this year. The Dutchman has scored seven victories but has not been on the top step of the podium since the race in Spain. However, he would not be worrying about the driver’s standings on his birthday and would rather enjoy his day to the fullest with friends and family.

While birthday wishes flooded in since the clock struck midnight, Kelly Piquet‘s birthday wish stood out among the rest. The 35-year-old posted a picture on her Instagram story along with a sweet caption.

‘Mashy’ could be the Dutchman’s nickname given to him by Piquet as his step-daughter Penelope was heard calling Verstappen by a similar name at the Japanese GP earlier this year.
