A minute of silence will be observed before the start of Sunday's second four-hour race, following the tragic passing of driver Juha Miettinen, who died after a multi-car collision that led to the suspension of Saturday's race. Verstappen paid tribute 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.
Verstappen has joined forces 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, competing against a strong 37-car GT3 field at the infamous 'Green Hell' in the latest rounds of the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie.
