Moreover, Verstappen’s year was frequently blighted by the decline in performance of his Red Bull, which he infamously described as ‘f***ed’ at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Nevertheless, the 27-year-old outperformed his car in 2024, and his consistency allowed him to claim his fourth consecutive world title in Las Vegas.

If securing a fourth world title was not enough, Verstappen also shared an exciting announcement with partner Kelly Piquet towards the end of the season.

The pair revealed that they were expecting their first child together, in an emotional Instagram post depicting Piquet’s visible baby bump.

The announcement marks the Brazilian model's second pregnancy, as she already has a daughter, Penelope, who she shares with former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat.

Verstappen recently described himself as a 'bonus dad' to Penelope and following the exciting update of their family dynamic, the Dutchman has been celebrating their last Christmas as a trio.

As the Red Bull star enjoys some time off, his partner Piquet unveiled their stylish family festive break in a series of photos on Instagram.

Piquet posted a glimpse into their 2024 Christmas, where she proudly showed of her bump, the family all dressed in stylish evening wear beside a lavish festive tree.

"Our Christmas 2024 family album - last pic obviously wins," Piquet wrote, referring to the last slide, which saw her daughter playfully poking at Verstappen’s face.
