OFFICIAL | Kelly Piquet has revealed the reason Max Verstappen stayed in Sardinia and the truth behind her boyfriend and Toto Wolff’s 2 yachts.
In an exclusive revelation, Kelly Piquet, the girlfriend of Formula 1 star Max Verstappen, has opened up about the real reason Verstappen stayed in Sardinia and addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding a rumored encounter between Verstappen and Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff.

Piquet, who has always kept her personal life relatively private, provided clarity on the situation, which had sparked significant media buzz. According to her, Max’s decision to remain in Sardinia had nothing to do with any potential issues in his F1 career or any personal drama. Instead, it was simply a well-deserved break for Verstappen, following a grueling and demanding season. She emphasized that the beautiful Mediterranean island was the perfect spot for him to relax, recharge, and disconnect before focusing on the next chapter in his racing career.

But it wasn’t just Max’s whereabouts that caught attention. There had been rumors about an incident involving two yachts — one belonging to Verstappen and the other supposedly connected to Toto Wolff. Speculation around the yachts suggested that there was tension or even confrontation between the two F1 giants.

However, Kelly Piquet set the record straight, explaining that the yachts were completely unrelated to any form of conflict or drama. The yachts were merely coincidental, with both individuals and their respective teams enjoying their time in Sardinia in close proximity. According to Piquet, the supposed “confrontation” between Max and Wolff was nothing more than a misunderstanding.
This revelation clears the air, ending the rumors that had circulated in the media about tensions between Verstappen and Wolff. Kelly made it clear that there was no animosity, and the story surrounding the two yachts had been blown out of proportion.
With the rumors squashed, fans of both Verstappen and Wolff can now rest easy, knowing that the two are not at odds. As Max Verstappen focuses on preparing for the next phase of his championship bid, the saga of the Sardinian yachts is just another example of how F1’s high-profile personalities are often subject to media exaggerations.
