Max Verstappen

According to People, Verstappen has been dating Kelly Piquet since late 2020. Not only is the model often on hand to celebrate Verstappen’s racing successes, but the two also aren’t shy about flaunting their relationship on social media.

While the two don’t have any kids together, Piquet is mom to a daughter named Penelope, whom she shares with F1 driver Daniil Kvyat.

Piquet often honors Verstappen for his racing successes, but she also celebrates the small moments with him. “Happy Birthday to the love of my life,” she wrote on Instagram in September 2021. “I love everything about you, about us and I am beyond proud of you. I can’t wait for all that is to come.”

Daniel Ricciardo

Ricciardo confirmed his relationship with Heidi Berger in September 2022, a year after they were first spotted together, per Crash.net. “I’m in love, I got a good thing going, so yeah. I’ve got a good balance in life right now. I think love eliminates stress, yeah absolutely,” he said during an interview on the “Fitzy and Wippa” podcast.

Berger is no stranger to the racing world, either. She is the daughter of 10-time Grand Prix winner Gerhard Berger, who has given Ricciardo some career advice amid his relationship with Heidi. “When I was young, I mean I’ve followed F1 since I was a kid and I had a Berger hat,” Ricciardo said in the podcast interview. “It’s funny, I talk about it with him. He still goes to quite a few races, he still has an interest in the sport, and he still does some business with it. Any ex-sportsman, anyone who’s been through it – I just love speaking to them and gaining knowledge and insight through their experience, there’s so much wisdom.”
