MONACO — For over two years, Kelly Piquet — model, influencer, and partner of three-time Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen — has been quietly working on something far more personal than the glamorous paddock life: a documentary about Max. But in a twist no one saw coming, the film has reportedly been completed… yet remains unseen.
Sources close to Piquet claim the project began as a passion piece — a private look into Max’s life far away from the cameras of Drive to Survive. Captured through Kelly’s own lens, the documentary reportedly includes raw footage of Verstappen’s emotional ups and downs: his moments of doubt, silence, pressure, and even his solitude, offering a portrait unlike any the public has ever seen.
“It’s not about racing. It’s about Max,” one insider said. “She wanted to show the human behind the helmet.”
But why hasn’t it been released?
❓ A Film No One May Ever Watch
The project, internally titled “Unfiltered: Max”, was completed earlier this year — edited, scored, and shelved.
Insiders cite multiple reasons:
-
Max’s reluctance to open up to the public on that level
-
Possible conflicts with Red Bull Racing’s image strategy
-
And perhaps most intriguingly… Kelly herself may have decided it was too intimate to share
“It’s not that Max said no,” one source hinted. “It’s that Kelly started asking if the world really deserves to see it.”
📹 What’s Inside?
Though the documentary has never been screened, fragments have allegedly leaked to insiders:
-
Max sitting alone in his Monaco apartment after a loss in 2022, whispering “It’s not just the car…”
-
Behind-the-scenes tension before a major race, including a candid argument with a team member
-
A never-before-seen 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day moment where he breaks down reading a letter from Jos Verstappen
-
And intimate footage of Max and Kelly on a quiet beach, discussing legacy, pressure, and what comes after racing
🎬 A Documentary or a Love Letter?
Some now speculate that Unfiltered: Max was never meant for public release — but for Max himself.
A quiet gift. A time capsule. Or maybe… a farewell?
🔮 Final Thoughts
In a world obsessed with overexposure, Kelly Piquet may have made the boldest move yet: capturing the truth and choosing to protect it.
And so the question remains: Will the world ever see the film that may reveal more about Max Verstappen than any trophy ever could?
