Max Verstappen fera ses débuts aux 24 Heures du Nürburgring

Max Verstappen fera sa première apparition aux 24 Heures du Nürburgring ce week-end, devenant ainsi le dernier pilote de Formule 1 en date à prendre part à cette épreuve d'endurance sur la Nordschleife.

Verstappen rejoint plus de 30 autres pilotes de F1 ayant participé à l'événement depuis ses débuts en 1970. Ses quatre titres mondiaux le distinguent de la plupart de ses prédécesseurs, seuls Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet et Jack Brabham détenant un nombre de championnats comparable. Lauda reste le seul champion du monde de F1 à avoir remporté la course, décrochant la victoire en 1973.
