Tune in on Sunday at 11:30am to catch Max Verstappen as he prepares for the Nurburgring 24 Hours in May, competing in a double-header weekend of endurance races at the German track. A minute of silence will be observed before the start of Sunday's second four-hour race, following the passing of driver Juha Miettinen, who died after a multi-car accident led to the suspension of Saturday's race.
Verstappen paid tribute to the 66-year-old driver. 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. Verstappen has joined forces with seasoned endurance driver Lucas Auer, nephew of former F1 driver Gerhard Berger, in the Red Bull-liveried Mercedes-AMG GT3 car for Verstappen Racing, competing in a 37-strong GT3 field at the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie.

Verstappen and his teammates, driving the Mercedes, secured a first-place finish on his return to NLS action last month but were later disqualified due to exceeding the permitted tyre allocation.
