As Formula 1's summer break draws to a close ahead of the Dutch grand prix, Kelly Piquet and three-time world champion Max Verstappen have been reunited.

Piquet had shared various snaps over the summer break without Verstappen in them, but the two now appear to be sunning it up as they enjoy the champion's last days off before heading to Zandvoort.

Verstappen has had a mixed season in 2024, claiming a phenomenal seven victories from the first 14 races and leading the drivers' championship, but suffering problems with his RB20 in recent races.

The Dutchman's frustrations have been emphasized in radio rants to his team, most recently at a disastrous Hungarian Grand Prix.

Verstappen has been partaking in a variety of activities during his summer break, including sharing a bath with a rubber duck in pictures that appeared on his Instagram page.

During a time when he looked to be training with Red Bull, keeping sharp at their Milton Keynes base, his partner Piquet was relaxing on a stunning Portuguese beach.

Piquet is a Brazilian model and is the granddaughter of another three-time F1 world champion in Nelson Piquet.

While Piquet and her daughter looked to be enjoying their holiday without Verstappen in tow, the Dutchman now appears to have joined up with his partner.

On Piquet's Instagram story, Verstappen was caught diving into the sea, as well as posing for a sunset photo with his partner in what looked to be 'golden hour'.

Verstappen will be hoping for more golden moments on track as the season gets back underway next weekend at his home circuit in Zandvoort.
