In an exciting announcement that has caught the attention of Formula 1 fans worldwide, reigning world champion Max Verstappen has confirmed the date of his highly anticipated wedding.
The Dutch driver, who has dominated the F1 circuit in recent seasons, will tie the knot with his longtime partner, Kelly Piquet, in a lavish ceremony set for the spring of 2025.
Verstappen, 26, and Piquet, a Brazilian model and the daughter of three-time world champion Nelson Piquet, have been together for several years, often sharing glimpses of their life together on social media.
Their relationship has been in the spotlight, with the pair frequently spotted at races, and now, their wedding is set to be a major event in both the motorsport and celebrity worlds.
A Motorsport Power Couple
Max and Kelly’s romance has been the subject of much media attention, especially given both their high-profile careers in the public eye. Kelly, a socialite and influencer in her own right, has been a constant presence at races, supporting Verstappen through his rise to prominence.
Max, meanwhile, has been making headlines for his incredible performances on the track, earning back-to-back World Drivers’ Championships in 2021 and 2022, with no signs of slowing down.

Despite their fierce competition in Formula 1, Hamilton and Verstappen have shown a mutual respect for each other, both acknowledging their respective talents and growth over the years.
Hamilton’s inclusion as best man is symbolic of the respect that has developed between the two drivers, even after their infamous on-track battles, most notably the dramatic 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
While their rivalry continues to be intense on the track, off the track, the pair have displayed camaraderie and sportsmanship that reflects the tight-knit nature of the F1 community.

The wedding promises to be an extravagant affair, with both Verstappen and Piquet having ties to the world of motorsport royalty.
Given the high-profile nature of the couple, the event is expected to attract a host of celebrity guests, including other F1 drivers, sports personalities, and a host of famous faces from the worlds of entertainment and fashion.
As Max Verstappen continues to build his legacy in Formula 1, this upcoming wedding is sure to add another personal milestone to his already impressive career.
With Lewis Hamilton by his side as best man, the occasion is set to be a historic moment, both for the couple and the motorsport community at large.
