F1 ace Max Verstappen packs on the PDA with girlfriend Kelly Piquet on yacht in St Tropez – before she takes a tumble during paddle boarding session

Max Verstappen packed on the PDA with his stunning girlfriend Kelly Piquet on a yacht in St Tropez on Wednesday.

The Dutch-Belgian racing driver, 25, leaned in for a smooch with the Brazilian model, 34, as they soaked up the sun on the luxury vessel.

Later in the day Kelly took on a paddle boarding session but had a tumble off into the ocean.

She showed off her stunning figure in a halterneck white swimsuit and navy shorts as she took in the views.

The couple were joined by Dutch DJ Martin Garrix, 27, during the day out as they indulged in watersports and topped up their tans.

Max showed off his ripped physique in blue swimming shorts as he chatted to Martin while they sipped on drinks.

Martin also looked in great shape in green trunks as he cooled off with a refreshing swim.

Kelly has worked at Formula E since 2015 which is when she became responsible for the social media coverage.

Kelly began dating Russian F1 driver Daniil Kvyat, who she shares daughter Penelope with, born in July 2019.

That same December, their relationship broke down and they went their separate ways.

The following January, she and Max Verstappen made their relationship public and have been putting on public displays of affection since then.

On Valentine’s Day, Kelly posted a loving photo of the two kissing on a gondola in Monaco and captioned the snap with a love heart and a cupid’s bow within it.

Max, who drives for Red Bull has won the 2021 and 2022 Formula One World Champion.

He is now the sports biggest earner when you combine both his £33.2 million salary and the £16.6 million he earned in bonuses, leapfrogging racing legend, Lewis Hamilton.

It comes after Max’s father Jos hinted his son could walk away from Formula One after claiming the Dutchman is ‘a bit done with everything’ after his record-breaking season as champion.
