Julia Piquet shares heartfelt message about building her home with Daniel Suarez
Julia Piquet celebrated the fifth anniversary of moving into her home with Daniel Suarez. She shared an image of their house in North Carolina and paired it with a heartfelt note expressing gratitude for the life they've built together.
Julia Piquet is the daughter of Three-time Formula 1 world champion Nelson Piquet. As such, she was exposed to a diverse upbringing across multiple countries, including Brazil, Monaco, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
Reflecting on the journey up until now, Julia shared an Instagram post with the following caption:
"Exactly 5 years ago today, I moved to North Carolina."
"Until recently, “home” had many meanings to me. It was my childhood house in Monaco… home was Brasilia where I went to high school… then it was Miami that felt like home for the better part of a decade… and now this. My favourite home yet. A home I built with my husband from scratch. Where every detail was thought through, hand picked, and brought to life. I am so grateful for this chapter I get to call home 🤍," she added.
On the racing side, Daniel Suarez experienced a demoralizing bout at Bristol Motor Speedway. Starting the race at 23rd, the Mexican driver fell six laps behind the lead pack to finish at 33rd. The result marked his second worst finish after his DNF at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA).
Suarez's best result of the season came from a second-place finish at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Thus, he ranks 27th in the Driver's standings with 151 points and an average finish of 22.
