Max Verstappen's baby daughter Lily has enjoyed her very first motorsport experience, watching a race with her famous F1 dad in Monaco.

Baby Lily arrived into the world just under a year ago as the now 28-year-old four-time F1 world champion welcomed his first child with influencer and model Kelly Piquet.

Verstappen has said during the past 12 months that he was in no rush to have his new arrival experience the sights and sounds of an F1 race, but she did get a little glimpse from a very safe distance this weekend.
