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.

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.

World's most popular TikTok star Khaby Lame leaves the U.S. after being detained by ICE
LAS VEGAS — Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the U.S. after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the U.S. on April 30 and 'overstayed the terms of his visa,' the ICE spokesperson said. The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the U.S. comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure — which was granted to Lame — allows those facing removal from the U.S. to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the U.S. for up to a decade. The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated 'life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the U.S.

Madrid's new street circuit to debut in 2026, replacing Imola on F1 schedule
A new street circuit in Madrid will make its debut on the Formula 1 schedule in September of next year, replacing the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola. F1 announced its 2026 calendar on Tuesday, setting the first grand prix at the new Madring track in the Spanish capital for Sept. 13. Spain gets two races in 2026 as Barcelona stays on the calendar for the final year of its contract. It faces an uncertain future after that. F1 has previously said Madrid's race will be known as the Spanish Grand Prix. The new schedule doesn't specify a new name for Barcelona's race, which has been known as the Spanish Grand Prix since 1991. Spain's second race means Italy drops back to having one grand prix as Imola leaves the schedule. The historic track, a favorite with drivers, returned to the schedule in 2020 as a late addition amid the COVID-19 pandemic and has hosted five races since. Its contract was up this year. The Australian Grand Prix on March 8 starts the season for the second year running because the races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia again move to April to avoid clashing with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The season stays at 24 races and concludes with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from Dec. 4-6. As part of a push to limit intercontinental travel, the Canadian Grand Prix moves forward from June to May 24 so that it follows the Miami Grand Prix. That sets up a potential clash with the Indianapolis 500. Last month's Monaco Grand Prix was also run on the same day as the Indy 500, but the difference in time zones meant it was easier to avoid a clash. The Monaco race started nearly four hours earlier and finished well before the Indy 500 began. This week's race in Canada is sandwiched between events in Spain and Austria. Moving Canada in 2026 will mean that all of F1's European races are scheduled together from June through September. 'With 24 grands prix across five continents, the season truly reflects the global nature of our community, while the improved geographical flow of the calendar shows our joint commitment to making the championship more efficient and sustainable,' FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said in a statement.
