Max Verstappen and his stylish girlfriend Kelly Piquet step out in the Sardinian sunshine with their kids on family trip - after buying plot of land in Portugal
The F1 star, 27, and model Kelly, 36, were enjoying some quality time together in the upmarket Porto Cervo area of the Italian island.
Max welcomed his first child - a girl called Lily - with girlfriend Kelly in May this year.
While Lily is Max's first child, Kelly already has a daughter, Penelope, born in 2019, from her previous relationship with Formula One driver Daniil Kvyat, 30.
Both children joined them on the trip as they all stepped out together for a stroll in the picturesque port town.
Kelly looked summer chic in a white and beige striped dress which she teamed with brown sliders as she pushed Lily's pram.
Meanwhile Max cut a casual figure in a navy T-shirt and white shorts as he carried some shopping bags.
Their family holiday in Sardinia comes after the pair purchased a plot of land at the luxury development Pinheirinho Comporta in Portugal.
Daily Mail understands that the couple are planning to build a property there, after spending plenty of time in the sunny holiday destination.
Max's jet was recently spotted at the airport nearby, and he spent time playing golf with his friends and relaxing on the beach at the exclusive UltraLuxe Pinheirinho Comporta resort.
This is the second year in a row the couple have spent part of their summer in the area, with Kelly often sharing holiday snaps with her social media followers.
Pinheirinho is a large coastal estate near Comporta, Portugal, known for its natural beauty and high-end development.
It features a blend of luxury residences, a championship golf course, and a resort and spa.
Beyond golf, the area offers opportunities for surfing, horseback riding, tennis, and other outdoor activities.
Other celebrity residents include Christian Louboutin, Princess Eugenie and visitors include Claudia Schiffer, Madonna and Harrison Ford.
Daily Mail has contacted Max and Kelly's representatives for comment.
Max welcomed his first child with girlfriend Kelly in May this year.
He announced the news on Instagram, sharing a slew of black and white snaps of their baby girl, whom he called the 'greatest gift' and revealed they had named her Lily.
Alongside the adorable pictures, he wrote: 'Welcome to the world, sweet Lily. Our hearts are fuller than ever - you are our greatest gift. We love you so much.'
When talking about having his first child, Max previously explained he is already somewhat prepared thanks to Penelope.
The Dutchman said in the Talking Bull podcast : 'Luckily I did get a little bit of training with Penelope, seeing her grow up already for like four years. Which has been also really, really nice.
'But yes, for sure, when it's like, also going be fully your own [kid]... Yes, it's going to be a different challenge. But I'm looking forward to it'.
The couple began dating in October 2020, and announced that they were expecting their first child together last December.
Despite having a nine-year age gap, Kelly previously said that her relationship with Max is thriving because of the mutual understanding they have for each other.
Kelly, said: 'I think we have a very healthy relationship, easygoing, we have a lot of understanding and support for each other.
'You would think the age difference could be a challenge, but so far things are going really well.
'I also really appreciate how he treats Penelope. It's so sweet to see.'
The subject of marriage has been publicly addressed by Max, who said that only 'time will tell' if he and Kelly decide to tie the knot.
Kelly is the daughter of F1 legend Nelson Piquet, who won three Drivers' Championships himself in the 1980s, though he was also embroiled in a racism scandal with Lewis Hamilton.

The 53-year-old Austrian boss says he avoids distractions by eating the same dish twice a day with him often on the road. During his appearance on Desert Island Discs, he explained: "For me it is really reducing trivial things. "I'm wearing the same clothes, I'm eating the same food - even to the point that my assistants book the same hotel room for me every single year." Curiosity peaked when Wolff was quizzed about his preferred dish for breakfast, to which he replied: "The same dark bread - a pumpernickel with butter and some ham. He then delved into more detail on his coffee drinking habits and the two same meals he has to follow. He added: "Small cappuccino - because I take half a cappuccino because I want to have another half an hour later - and then it's chicken breast with tomato salad. And I have the same for dinner also!" Wolff could do without any distractions this season with Mercedes struggling to really make their mark.

Christian Horner sees final Red Bull F1 ties cut as new company director named
Team principal and chief executive Christian Horner was removed from both those roles last month and has now had his departure from Red Bull Racing and its related companies officially confirmed Red Bull has severed its final ties to ousted former Formula 1 team principal Christian Horner. It marks the official confirmation of the 51-year-old's departure from the racing team and its related companies after he was removed as team principal and chief executive last month. Horner was a named director across three companies set up in the UK. He was chief executive not only of the F1 racing team, but also of Red Bull Technologies Ltd, and of Red Bull Powertrains – the latter set up when the team decided to build its own engines for the first time ahead of the 2026 season. But Horner's exit means he will not be the man in charge of the outfit when it first goes racing with those new power units next year. He was relieved of all his responsibility following the British Grand Prix in July, pending the negotiation of his full departure. And it seems that the terms of his exit have now ben agreed. Companies House filings, received on Thursday, show that Horner has been terminated as a director of all three companies concerned with the operations of the F1 team. The filings also show the appointment of a new director in his place, namely Stefan Salzer who is global head of human resources at the racing team's Austria-based parent company, Red Bull GmbH. The only other director of Red Bull Racing now is Helmut Marko, who serves as an adviser to the main Red Bull company regarding its efforts in F1. Oliver Mintzlaff, as chief executive of Red Bull's corporate projects and new investments, is the de-facto chief of the company's motorsport teams.

His only public comments to date have been made on social media platform Instagram, including the lengthy statement he issued in the aftermath of his dismissal. He wrote: "After an incredible journey of 20 years together, it is with a heavy heart that today I say goodbye to the team I have absolutely loved. Every one of you, the amazing people at the factory, have been the heart and soul of everything that we have achieved. "Win and lose, every step of the way, we have stood by each other as one and I will never forget that. It has been a privilege being part of and leading this epic team and I am so proud of our collective accomplishments and you all. "Thanks to the amazing partners and fans who enabled us to go racing.

"Formula 1 is a sport built on relentless ambition, passion, and respect. The rivalries have been fierce, but the mutual drive to innovate and raise the bar is what has made this journey so special."It has been an honour to be part of this incredible era of motorsport.

Petrassi: Concertos for Orchestra Nos 7 & 8 album review – dramatic power from rarely heard Italian master
Though his music is rarely heard in the UK these days, Goffredo Petrassi was one of the most significant and influential Italian composers of the mid 20th century. Born in 1904, just a few months after Luigi Dallapiccola, Petrassi's early works were firmly neoclassical, but after 1945 he began to incorporate elements from his younger contemporaries in the European avant garde. He was also a distinguished teacher; among the many who studied with him were Ennio Morricone, Peter Maxwell Davies and Cornelius Cardew. Petrassi's eight concertos for orchestra are at the core of his orchestral output, and Naxos has now released recordings of all of them. The pairing of the last two, composed in 1964 and 1972, are typical of his later music, trenchantly argued, with fierce contrasts between strings and wind. It's music of great resource and dramatic potency, even when the musical ideas themselves are not especially memorable. The performances from the Orchestra Sinfonica di Roma under Francesco La Vecchia feel utterly secure, and as a bonus they add the Sonata da Camera, for harpsichord and 10 instruments, which Petrassi composed in 1948.
