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 with 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 passing of driver Juha Miettinen, who died after a multi-car crash 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.
Teaming up with seasoned endurance driver Lucas Auer, nephew of former F1 driver Gerhard Berger, in the Mercedes-AMG GT3 car for Verstappen Racing, he will compete in a 37-strong GT3 field at the notorious 'Green Hell' in the latest rounds of the Nurburgring Langstrecken-Serie.

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