When it comes to racing, Max Verstappen‘s younger sister Victoria is probably the only non-speedster in the family. However, when it comes to motherhood, she is as dedicated as any. Victoria is a mother to two young boys Luka and Lio, with the latter being the younger one at 1-year-old. She is pretty active on Instagram and often posts pictures with her boys and her partner, Tom Heuts. The 23-year-old has now put out an Instagram story, revealing how she was spending her time alone with Lio.
Victoria gave birth to Lio in December 2021 and let her followers know the next day through a post. She revealed how delighted she and Tom were to have him. Later, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner congratulated the family on the arrival of the little one. Max’s girlfriend, Kelly Piquet posted a welcome message for Lio as well and expressed how she couldn’t wait to meet the newborn. Max joined the family later for celebrations after finishing P2 in the Saudi Arabian GP. Incidentally, Lio’s arrival turned out to be a lucky occurrence for the Dutch racer as he won his maiden F1 title in the next race in Abu Dhabi.
Given how dedicated Max and Victoria’s father, Jos, was to his son’s racing career, he could not spend much time with his daughter in 2021. That was one of the most important years of Max’s life when it comes to racing.
