Tune in on Sunday at 11:30am as Max Verstappen heads back to the Nordschleife, continuing his preparations for the Nurburgring 24 Hours in May. This weekend features a double-header of races in the German track's endurance series. A minute of silence will be observed before the start of Sunday's second four-hour race, following the passing of driver Juha Miettinen after a multi-car accident that led to the suspension of Saturday's race.
Verstappen was among those paying tribute to the 66-year-old. 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. He is teamed up with seasoned endurance driver Lucas Auer, nephew of former F1 driver Gerhard Berger, in the Red Bull-livered Mercedes-AMG GT3 car for Verstappen Racing.
They are part of a 37-strong GT3 field at the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie. Sunday's live stream begins at 11:30am, with the race starting at 12pm UK time. The full 2026 F1 race schedule is available. Stream every F1 race without a contract.
