Max Verstappen attiré par la catégorie GT3 pour la priorité donnée au pilotage

Max Verstappen se tourne vers la catégorie GT3 car elle permet aux pilotes de faire la différence au sein d'un plateau équilibré, selon l'architecte de la série, Stephane Ratel. Le champion de Formule 1 prévoit un programme plus étoffé en 2026, incluant ses débuts aux 24 Heures du Nürburgring plus tard ce mois-ci.

Verstappen a multiplié ses engagements en GT3 après avoir testé la catégorie sur la Nordschleife l'an dernier. Il s'est imposé dès sa première sortie en GT3 sur ce circuit et pilote désormais une Mercedes-AMG GT3 engagée par Winward sous la bannière Verstappen Racing dans plusieurs manches des NLS. En dehors des week-ends de Grand Prix, il poursuit ses essais privés et a récemment testé une Nissan Z GT500 au Fuji Speedway dans le cadre d'une opération promotionnelle pour Red Bull.
