Max Verstappen vinder fire-timers løb på Nürburgring, men bliver diskvalificeret

Den firedobbelte Formel 1-verdensmester Max Verstappen dominerede åbningsløbet på fire timer i Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie i en Mercedes-AMG GT3, men blev diskvalificeret to timer efter løbets afslutning. Dommerpanelet konstaterede, at hans team havde benyttet syv sæt dæk i stedet for de tilladte seks.

Max Verstappen benyttede pausen i Formel 1 til en tur på Nürburgring Nordschleife. Sammen med Daniel Juncadella og Jules Gounon kørte den 28-årige hollænder Mercedes-AMG GT3-bilen fra det Mercedes-støttede Verstappen Racing-team til en klassesejr i fire-timers løbet i Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie. Han tog pole position om morgenen, førte tidligt efter en stærk start og opbyggede et forspring på næsten et minut trods midlertidige overhalinger. Banen, der er kendt som 'Det Grønne Helvede', anses for at være ekstremt krævende og farlig. Verstappen fik erfaring til det planlagte 24-timers løb på banen. Uvidende om diskvalifikationen udtalte han: “Det her er den skøreste racerbane i verden – sagt positivt. Det var en fantastisk oplevelse at køre her. Dette sted er ganske enkelt super. Det var virkelig sjovt, og jeg følte mig meget godt tilpas.” To timer efter løbet meddelte løbsserien, at der var benyttet syv sæt dæk i stedet for seks. Dommerne diskvalificerede teamet med tilbagevirkende kraft. Verstappens næste optræden på Nürburgring er planlagt til weekenden den 14. til 17. maj, hvor han igen skal køre en Mercedes. “Nürburgring er et helt særligt sted. Det er et løb, man bare har lyst til at være en del af,” sagde han. I Formel 1 afventer Red Bull-køreren flere løb efter to løb uden en podieplads.
