Formula 1 racing: Mercedes’ decline is actually a good thing for F1

The difficulties that must be overcome to achieve continued success in Formula One (F1) racing are often underestimated. And that’s true for racing teams as well as drivers.

Below are 5 names said to have been and are dating the Dutch F1 star. Most of them are older than this driver born in 1997.

1. Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky

During his early days at Toro Rosso, Max Verstappen dated Swedish female driver Mikaela Ahlin-Kottulinsky. At that time, Max was just a 17 year old teenager and Mikaela was 5 years older than him.

Currently Mikaela is playing for the Rosberg X Racing team at the Extreme E Championship. While Verstappen is leading F1, Mikaela is also leading the Extreme E tournament with 60 points after 3 races. This 30-year-old female driver is quite open about the relationship between her and her Dutch “brother” when she often calls him her boyfriend on social networks.

However, the love story between Mikaela and Max ended before he moved to Red Bull in 2016.

2. Maxime Pourquie

At the beginning of the 2017 season, Max Verstappen was rumored to be dating fellow female hockey player Maxime Pourquie. The paparazzi have seen this couple appearing at a few events together, such as New Year’s Eve 2017 or before the race in Monaco that year. On social networks, there are also many quite intimate photos of Max and Maxime, during the early years of Verstappen’s career.

Maxime Pourquie has now retired from her hockey career and is currently a physical education coach at South Hampsted High School, in London (UK).

3. Joyce Godfrey

In 2016, Max Verstappen made the F1 world stir when he won his debut race at the Spanish Grand Prix at the age of 18. Not long after, this driver became acquainted with Belgian student Joyce Godefridi. Joyce was a famous content creator at that time and was studying at Catholic University Leuven at that time.

Although both Max and Joyce frequently send sweet comments and emojis to each other on social media, neither has confirmed anything about their relationship.

4. Dilara Sanlik

At the end of 2017, Max Verstappen started dating Dilara Sanlik, a German student who was studying in London at that time. During that time, Sanlik was very secretive about his private life, avoiding media scrutiny. She does the same on social networks and stays away from paparazzi.

However, the two still regularly take photos together at races, even though very few people actually know about their relationship. The Red Bull driver once invited Sanlik to dinner with his father, former F1 driver Jos Verstappen.

The relationship between Max and Dilara broke up in 2020, but no one knows the specific reason why they broke up.

5. Kelly Piquet

Brazilian model Kelly Piquet is the daughter of legendary three-time world champion Nelson Piquet. She has been dating Max Verstappen since January 2021, and despite the age gap (Kelly is 9 years older than Max), the couple is currently very happy. The two just shared sweet photos during their recent summer vacation with friends and relatives, before Verstappen returned to the F1 cycle with the Belgian Grand Prix.

In 2017, Kelly Piquet dated Daniil Kvyat and had a daughter with this former Russian F1 driver in July 2019. However, this relationship ended in December of that year.
