So to sum up, her zodiac sign is Taurus (the bull), has Verstappen and Piquet genes and is born on the anniversary of Senna's death?

WDC should be a formality.

She's got quite the racing pedigree, possibly the most ever?! One for the crazy stats thread, maybe, lol.

 

Father is a 4xWDC, one grandfather a 3xWDC, other grandfather an ex-F1 driver, her sister's father an ex-F1 driver, her grandmother a karter and semi-successful racing driver...

Born on the day Senna died is quite a coincidence. Not sure if positive or a bit scary.

Nevertheless, congratulations to Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet! Great to see a second dad in F1 :).

Wonderful news. Being a parent is one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever experienced so far.
Only the best for them.

Wait, there are only two current parents on the grid? That's kinda a crazy statistic to me.

This Wikipedia page is quite a good resource: https://en.wikipedia..._in_auto_racing
 
Nothing I can see quite on the level of the Verstappen-Piquet alliance, but I did spot that NASCAR's Austin Cindric's dad is the Team Penske team boss and his granddad on his mother's side was Jim Trueman, who ran Bobby Rahal in the eighties won the 1986 Indy 500 as an owner. So it turns out there's a team boss equivalent.

 

And then on the Bobby Rahal theme, Graham Rahal and Courtney Force's kids have a pretty titanic racing pedigree from the worlds of Indycar and drag racing.

Congrats Max. There are more important things in life than racing. Enjoy these good times Max.

And miss Piquet off course

Yup, feels like it were much more parents on the grid in the past right?

Perez and K-Mag dropped out after last year. The grid has been getting younger in the past few years and now there are two of the older guard who are not fathers (I mean Alonso and Hamilton).

One of the best. And the worst. At least for me. 

 

PS: I did not know real fear until I was a father.

was my first thought too, but apparently she was born earlier and he just stayed as long as he could with them.

They say time seems to speed up when you get older but it's insane that she's 31 years old already.
