–by Mark Cipolloni–

It fairly well known that Kelly Piquet has been dating F1 World Champion Max Verstappen.

Kelly Piquet is a successful model who’s also heavily involved in the Formula One and Formula E worlds. In 2015, Kelly started running the Formula E social media accounts. From 2017-2019, she dated F1 driver Daniil Kvyat and shares a child with him. Since 2021, she’s been dating two-time F1 champion Max Verstappen.

31-year-old driver for Trackhouse Racing NASCAR driver Daniel Suarez proposed to Kelly Piquet’s sister Julia Piquet, his girlfriend of three years last year. And she said yes!

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Julia Piquet is the daughter of Brazilian Formula One legend Nelson Piquet, who won 23 races and three championships during his career. Julia was born to Nelson’s second wife, and her brother Nelson Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps by pursuing a career in Formula One and Formula E.

Julia has been a hardcore NASCAR fan since at least 2019, when she started dating Daniel Suarez (who was driving for Stewart-Haas Racing at the time). On November 25, 2022, Daniel asked Julia to marry him during their vacation to France and Monaco.
