Max Verstappen says he had the 'best time' with baby daughter Lily during the F1 summer break, and now he has released the video and photos to prove it.

The 28-year-old four-time world champion has spent the past couple of weeks enjoying some well-earned downtime from his day job at Red Bull.

He enjoyed an idyllic holiday with partner Kelly Piquet and 15-month old Lily as the trio had great fun both in the water and on dry land.

We also got to see Verstappen trying out another sport as well, with Lily and Kelly both courtside as he played a game of padel. You can check out all the best bits of the Verstappen content drop right here:
