Four-time world champion Verstappen announced the birth oไf his first child with partner Kelly Piquet on Friday ahead of this weekend’s Miami G𒆙rand Prix.

Re𝔍acting to the news, Red Bull team boss Horner pointed to the “incredible” genes that Lily has being Verstappen’s daughter and the grandchild of three-time world champion Nelson Piquet.
"He's gonn🍨a be a very present father, I'm sure,” Horner said during Friday’s FIA press conference.
“You [have] got to get involved. You've got to get involved with the nappies. You've got to get involved in the ꦍmiddle of the night and so on.
"It's the most wonderful thing, w🀅elcoming a new addition to any family. And life will be very different for him in many respects now as a parent.
"I'm just thinking of the genes of that child, it’s quiꦯte incredible when you think of Verstappen and Piquet.
“If it was a racehorse, it would be worth a fortune. But it's going to make life a little differe♋nt for him.”
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff added: "Obviously, we're all different, and for me, a child is born with a D𝔍NA and it's not a lot, I believe in nature, not so much nurture.
“But he's been as far, where what I can see great with his st💮epdaughter. I have no doubt he will be fantastic, fantastic father.”
Will Max Verstappen change?
Asked if he thinks Verstappen will change as a result of becoming only the second F1 father-driver on the current grid🏅, Horner replied: “I don’t think so. He’s a pretty measured gu🌟y. He’s obviously got a step daughter as well.
“He’s just very measured. He enjoys family life obviously and I thinkౠ for him, it💖’s business as usual.
“He’s obviously 🍌tremendously proud and it’s a great thing for him and Kelly to welcome a baby girl. That’s a different achievement and a differenꦯt perspective in life. It’s great for him and his family.”
Horner added: “He’s been operating at such a high level for such a long time. Even back to 2021, 20♉20, he just continues to surprise us, with the levels he’ꦗs able to hit and achieve.”
Pressed on what imp🧔resses him the most about Verstappen, Horner said: “I think his ability to wring every ounce of performance out o🤡f the car.
“When you are r🐓eally back to the wall, that last set of tyres in Q3, it’s the big pressure points where the greats really step up and that’s what we see time and time again with him.
“Just being 🐼comfortable in that zone and delivering at an unbelievable level.”
