Red Bull F1 star Max Verstappen<\/a> has opened up on plans to bring his new daughter to the track. <\/p>\n

\nThe Dutchman was delighted to welcome Lily into the world<\/a> in spring 2025 with long-term partner Kelly Piquet, and has taken every available opportunity to spend time with his family over the past few months. <\/p>\n

\nWith F1 midway through its summer break, he is currently doing exactly that<\/a>, and was spotted enjoying a much-needed few days in the Sardinian sunshine last weekend. <\/p>\n

\nHowever, the 27-year-old has admitted he has no intention of taking Lily to the circuit any time soon, as reported by Motorsport.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n“I don’t know,” he said. “I’m not really in a rush about it. I want her to have a little peace so I don’t necessarily want her here.” <\/p>\n

\nLily has likely been a welcome distraction for Verstappen in what has been a turbulent year on the track. <\/p>\n

\nHe currently occupies third spot in the drivers’ championship<\/a> behind the McLaren duo of Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, with just 10 races remaining of the 2025 campaign. <\/p>\n

\nBut with the gap to the latter in second position now almost 100 points, the four-time champion looks set to relinquish his title unless he can pull off the unlikeliest of comebacks. <\/p>\n

\nVerstappen – who recently confirmed he will be staying at Red Bull in 2026<\/a> – may well have already turned his focus to next season, when teams and drivers will embark on a new era with the introduction of major engine regulation changes<\/a>. <\/p>\n
