Max Verstappen will be a key player on the German track to best prepare for the 24 Hours, according to the four-time world champion.
The forced break in F1, due to the tragic events in the Middle East, has allowed Max Verstappen to further focus on the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. This weekend, the four-time champion will be a key player in the two preparatory races for the event (scheduled for May 17). The legendary German track is coveted by many drivers, from all categories, and at the same time, it can inspire fear given its rare danger.
This is Max’s comment, undaunted by the Green Hell:“I know I could have a bad accident there, but I’m not afraid: I actually really enjoy driving there; it makes me smile. And I want to have fun. Every time I get out of the car, I’m happy. I know it’s a dangerous track, but I’m happy to take that risk. . It was very dangerous for F1, especially in the ’60s and ’70s, but the circuit has changed a lot since then. Now, I think it’s fine. And a dangerous accident can happen anywhere, even at Suzuka.” “.
The Dutchman then added:“I need a little more experience in general. I’d like to drive in the evening or almost at night, just to get an idea of what to expect, and I can only get that from these races. For the rest, it’s a matter of procedures with the team, to get everyone on the same page, and fine-tuning the set-up. I’m not worried “.
