Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen checked in on his rival Charles Leclerc during the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend, welcoming the Monegasque driver to the 'F1 Dads' club' after Leclerc recently became a father.
The interaction took place on November 8, 2026, at the Interlagos circuit in São Paulo. Verstappen, a father himself, asked Leclerc how his sleep was going, acknowledging the shorter nights that come with parenthood. Leclerc, who drives for Ferrari, has not publicly disclosed details about his child's birth.
