Leclerc seeks out Verstappen to congratulate him on being a father

Verstappen was noticeably absent on Thursday for the Miami Grand Prix media day. On Friday, it became clear why: Verstappen and Piquet had welcomed their baby girl, Lily into the world, as the couple announced on Instagram.

The couple have since received many congratulations from several drivers, including Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Nico Hulkenberg, and Fernando Alonso.

The 4.time world champion delayed his trip as much as he could, but he had to leave on Thursday night for Miami, since the race in Florida was a sprint event, meaning he could not miss any of the sessions for the weekend.

After finishing the first and only practice session, Charles Leclerc congratulated Verstappen on being a father

Red Bull Racing shared the warm moment between the two on their social media.
