Marko reveals when Verstappen and Piquet's baby is expected

According to Marko, stars might align perfectly for the four-time world champion, and his first child will not be born during a Grand Prix weekend.

When asked about whether Verstappen is scheduled to make an appearance at any track when the baby is expected, Marko answered:."No," to Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung. "The due date does not coincide with a race weekend of Max and is scheduled for early May," he explained.

According to the medium, 6 May is mentioned therefore as the potential due date, which would be after the Miami Grand Prix.

"Mini-Max" already has a perfect sense of timing, Marko jokes. If Piquet indeed gives birth after that weekend, Verstappen could be there when he becomes a father for the first time.

However, the Dutchman is not too stressed about the situation, and previously explained that F1 drivers do not have the same luxury of skipping a single event like footballers could.

After a baby shower on Verstappen's luxurious yacht called 'Unleash the Lion', the Brazilian has accidentally revealed the gender of the first child together. In a message that was in the guestbook, it is written that Penelope will have a sister. Piquet deleted that aforementioned photo shortly after.
