ꦑThe Brazilian model was featured on the front cover of Vogue magazine in the Netherlands, wearing a racing h෴elmet and overalls.
She has been by Verstappen’s side as he racked up back-to-back F1 championships.
“He remains so humble, he 🌺has both feet firmly on the ground,” sh🔜e said, quoted by .
“What I really 🦹like is that he knows what he waꦯnts and he is not afraid to say it. He is confident and not interested in fame or material things.
“We have ꧃a lot in common, are bon vivants. I realise more and more how similar he is to my father."
Kelly’s father is Nelson Piquet, the former F1 driver, who called 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton a racist word last year.
Kelly became embroiled in the💜 scandal by liking a social media post which defended Nelson.
Verstappen insisted Nelson “is not a rac🍨ist” as the ugly storꦕy unfolded.

Kelly has a child with f🍌ormer F1 driver Daniil Kyvat, from before she began dating Verstappen.
She said about meeting her current partner: "Maybe one day we will reveal the whole sꩲtory, but I am careful with what I say.
