The glamorous world surrounding Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen has been shaken by a new wave of rumors, as his partner Kelly Piquet sparked controversy with her latest post on social media.

Piquet, who recently celebrated the milestone of her daughter Lily’s 100th day, shared a heartfelt photo album filled with tender family moments. But one detail immediately caught the attention of fans: Max Verstappen was nowhere to be seen.

The absence of the reigning world champion from such a special occasion fueled speculation of a potential rift between the couple. Social media was quick to react, with some fans questioning whether the omission was a subtle message, while others rushed to defend the couple, arguing that Verstappen’s hectic F1 schedule may have kept him away.

Adding to the drama, this is not the first time Kelly Piquet has faced intense scrutiny. Over the past months, she has been the target of online criticism and false rumors — a situation Verstappen himself has condemned as “ridiculous and insane.”

For now, neither Verstappen nor Piquet has addressed the growing speculation. But with emotions running high and fans dissecting every post, the couple finds themselves once again at the center of the spotlight — this time, for reasons far beyond the racetrack.
