Max Verstappen hits the track this Saturday at the Nürburgring, competing in the German Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) ahead of next May’s 24 Hours. The four-time F1 world champion drives a Mercedes-AMG GT3 under the Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing banner, sharing it with Daniel Juncadella and Jules Gounon. Practice sessions faced challenges with technical issues, including suspected suspension problems, limiting their track time. The crew switched to a backup chassis during the session, resulting in Juncadella completing only three laps before a red flag halted proceedings. With minimal data collected, the pressure mounts for mechanics and engineers to refine the setup overnight. This weekend is crucial for Verstappen, as it’s his only opportunity to race with Gounon and Juncadella before the 24-hour event. Fans can catch the action live on YouTube, with qualifying at 8:30 CET and the race starting at 12:00 CET.
