“I was always very involved in my brother’s career. There is a really fun video clip of me walking down the pit lane with a sandwich in one hand and something to drink in my other, with my hair down to my buttocks. “I was running around, playing with the mechanics.
They are fond memories, the afternoons I spent at the go-kart track after school watching him go round and round until the sun went down. “He went karting and was immediately obsessed. “My earliest memories date back to the racetrack, when I first came to Brazil at age five with my brother Nelson who was eight,” she said in an interview with the Dutch edition of Vogue. Kelly Piquet, though, has happier racing memories to draw upon as she watched her brother Nelson Piquet Jnr make his own way up through the ranks to Formula 1. Especially not a three-time World Champion.” I don’t think you should be banned from the paddock. “Things can be easily forgotten – as long as you learn from your mistake and the word that you used. “When you have a fight and you insult someone, you have a chat, you apologise. You’re trying to educate people, so it’s better to have a chat and these things can be easily solved. You need to communicate and communication is really important. When you ban people, you’re actually not even helping the situation. He continued: “”It’s better to open a conversation instead of banning. “It can be interpreted in two ways, people pick up on the bad side, and then of course it gets really blown out of proportion.” He already said in his statement, he used the wrong words. But he doesn’t need me to tell him what is right and what isn’t. “It’s not about the n-word, it’s about using offensive language in general. He’s actually a really nice, relaxed guy. “But I’ve spent a bit of time with Nelson, more than the average person, and he’s definitely not a racist. The wording that was used was not correct,” Verstappen said. “Everyone is against racism and I think that’s very straight. In the midst of the storm, Max Verstappen criticised the decision to ban Nelson Piquet from the F1 paddock.
Most recently in 2022, comments that could be easily interpreted as a racial slur towards Lewis Hamilton surfaced on social media and, while Piquet apologised and explained they were not said with racial intent, Formula 1 have banned him from the paddock and the British Racing Drivers’ Club suspended his membership with immediate effect in what became a huge wave of public condemnation. However, Kelly’s father was and still is a very polarising and controversial figure, to the extent where his on-track achievements are overshadowed by his off-track comments. Prior to that, though, Nelson Snr would become part of a very exclusive club, winning three World Championship titles in the early eighties. When Kelly Piquet was born, her father was entering into the twilight stages of his Formula 1 career driving for Lotus before spending a final two seasons in 19 respectively with Benetton. Kelly Piquet spent her youth growing up in France, Brazil and the UK, but her second home would always be the racetrack because of her father, Nelson, and her older brother Nelson Piquet junior. Kelly Piquet’s family: A name steeped in racing history Kelly Piquet has a reported net worth herself of $3million, while her father has a reported net worth of $200million. She was born on Decemand currently resides in Monaco along with Max Verstappen, Monte Carlo being the long-established hub for the F1 rich and famous. The German-born Brazilian national has forged her own career in the worlds of PR, writing and modelling, but the Piquet name is one that is strongly linked and synonymous with racing. Kelly Piquet, daughter of three-time World Champion Nelson Piquet, is a F1 paddock regular often seen alongside and supporting boyfriend Max Verstappen.
