Max Verstappen set to compete in 24-hour endurance event between F1 races

  • Max Verstappen is set to compete in his first 24-hour endurance race at the Nurburgring from 14-17 May, driving a Mercedes-AMG GT3 car for Verstappen Racing.
  • This announcement comes shortly after the four-time F1 world champion voiced strong complaints about the controversial new regulations introduced in Formula 1.
  • Verstappen criticised the new F1 rules, which include mandated battery power management and a boost button, describing the racing as “artificial” and akin to “Mario Kart”.
  • He expressed significant dissatisfaction with the current state of F1, stating he did not enjoy the racing and hinted at potentially quitting the sport if the rules are not changed.
  • The Dutchman is set to compete in the endurance race two weeks after the Miami Grand Prix and a week before the Canadian Grand Prix.
