Tune in on Sunday at 11:30am to watch Max Verstappen as he prepares for the Nurburgring 24 Hours in May, competing in a double-header weekend of endurance series races at the German track. A minute of silence will be observed before the start of Sunday's second four-hour race, following the tragic death of driver Juha Miettinen in a multi-car crash on Saturday.
Verstappen led the tributes to the 66-year-old after the incident. With the F1 season on hold in April due to the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix, Verstappen has added the NLS4 and NLS5 races to his expanding GT3 schedule.
Teaming up with seasoned endurance driver Lucas Auer, nephew of former F1 driver Gerhard Berger, Verstappen will drive the Red Bull-livered Mercedes-AMG GT3 car for Verstappen Racing in a 37-strong GT3 field at the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie.
