, made her entrance just before the Miami Grand Prix, marking a perfectly timed arrival for a family known for living life in the fast lane.
Kelly Piquet reflects on motherhood in touching Mother's Day post
Originally expected to be born between the Miami and Monaco Grand Prix weekends, Lily's early arrival has become symbolic of the couple's characteristic promptness. The timing was impeccable not just in racing terms, but personally as well—it allowed Kelly Piquet to celebrate Mother's Day in Brazil, where it fell on May 11, with both of her daughters by her side.
Taking to Instagram, Piquet shared a touching tribute to the day, blending nostalgia and new memories. The montage included pictures of herself as a newborn with her mother, alongside heartwarming shots of her eldest daughter Penelope and the newly arrived Lily. 'I want to continue to be a role model for my daughter,' she captioned one of her Instagram stories, reaffirming her deep sense of motherhood and responsibility, especially toward Penelope, her daughter with former Red Bull driver Daniil Kvyat.
Now a proud mother of two, Kelly used the occasion to not only share glimpses of her life as a mother but also to highlight her own roots. Along with photos of her daughters, she included pictures of her mother, making the celebration a generational tribute. The posts offered fans an intimate look into a day filled with love, legacy, and new beginnings.
The couple's Monaco residence was reportedly buzzing with visitors during Mother's Day weekend.

Verstappen's sister, Victoria, and his mother, Sophie Kumpen, were seen visiting the newborn, and photos of the celebration made their way online. Kelly also flaunted some of the luxurious postnatal gifts she received—some from the brands she collaborates with—adding a touch of glamor to the heartfelt occasion.
As for Max Verstappen, fatherhood hasn't slowed him down. If anything, those close to him believe it might boost his performance even further.
'Verstappen would become faster rather than slower,' F1 personalities like Guenther Steiner and Mario Andretti suggested in interviews with GPblog. It's clear that while Max dominates on the track, he's finding new joy and meaning off of it.

Beckenham [UK], June 10 (ANI): Roof-breaking hits, a star-studded face-off and plenty of warming up and pep talks summarised India's practice session on Monday ahead of their first Test against England, starting from June 20 with the first Test at Leeds. The Test series would very well be an era-defining one in Indian cricket history, as after the retirement of two legends, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, a new-look Team India would be eyeing a fresh start in ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle of 2025-27 under captaincy of newly-appointed red-ball captain Shubman Gill. A video of players was posted on Instagram handle of the Indian cricket team with several players including skipper Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja seen in action. The coaching staff, including head coach Gautam Gambhir, were also seen talking to players, guiding them as they sweat it out in nets. Gill and Pant were among the players who did some batting practice, while Siraj and Bumrah were seen throwing down balls. The team also took part in some fielding drills led by fielding coach T Dilip. As per a video from ESPNCricinfo on Instagram, a massive part of this practice session was a one-on-one battle between Bumrah and skipper Gill. Bumrah looked at his unplayable best against Gill, who had no choice to either struggle or to just leave the ball altogether. Another attractive sight during the session was Pant tonking a massive six on a Washington Sundar delivery, which broke a part of the roof of the facility at Beckenham, as per an ESPNCricinfo video on Instagram. The series will be held from June to August 2025, with matches scheduled at Headingley in Leeds, Edgbaston in Birmingham, Lord's and The Oval in London, and Old Trafford in Manchester. India's Test squad for England series: Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.
