[Saba Sports News] Red Bull’s star driver Max Verstappen’s beloved wife, Kelly Piquet, is expecting their love child this summer. Some media are worried that this might conflict with Verstappen’s schedule and cause him to miss a race. However, Red Bull team advisor Helmut Marco has said it will not affect him, stating, “Piquet does not expect to give birth during the Grand Prix weekend, but it is close to the Miami Grand Prix. The due date does not overlap with any of Verstappen’s racing activities and is set for early May.” The editor believes that, from a personal standpoint, the birth of a child is a significant event in life, and as a professional race car driver, the Grand Prix is equally crucial to Verstappen’s career. The due date not conflicting with the Grand Prix allows him to focus on the race without missing the important moment of his child’s birth, achieving a balance between family and career. This helps him maintain a good mindset and stable emotions, avoiding regrets or psychological pressure from missing the birth of his child, thus enabling him to fully commit to the race and strive for better results.
