Max Verstappen on the chances of missing his baby's birth

The life of a Formula 1 driver can be pretty intense as they travel from one country to another on a weekly basis for races.

While they are well accustomed to it, that can also mean they sometimes miss some of ther biggest life events, like Verstappen possibly missing the birth of his child.

Red Bull Racing's advisor Dr Helmut Marko confirmed that the couple's baby is due in May, but it will be in the midst of two race weekends, which means Max Verstappen could be present with Kelly Piquet.

"The date of birth does not overlap with any of Max’s racing activities and is scheduled for early May," Marko said (via PlanetF1).

However, if the birth happens early, Verstappen might miss it. He said last year that there's nothing he could do about it.

"Anything is possible," Verstappen said last year, "but in F1 that (paternity leave) doesn’t exist. You cannot take two months off.

"If it happens, it happens. There’s nothing I can do about it. Unfortunately, F1 drivers don’t get time off, but at the same time I’m also not the one that is giving birth."

Verstappen has won the last four World Championships. However, RBR haven't been strong this year, which could hamper his chances to clinch another title. Nevertheless, Verstappen won the Japanese Grand Prix last week in a show of dominance.
