MAX CHALLENGED
F1 driver Max Verstappen swapped his Red Bull for a Mercedes-AMG for the final round of the GT World Challenge Europe championship, a three-hour endurance race in PortimĂŁo, Portugal.
Whilst he wasn't on the podium, the #3 Team Verstappen Racing entry was fast. Max, who was behind the wheel for the final 45 minutes of the race, managed to climb from P24 to P9.
His thoughts? “Overall, we have had a decent weekend. Unfortunately, we made a mistake with the setup of the car in qualifying, which meant that the car was sparking a little bit too much for performance. So, we didn’t qualify where we should have qualified. We adjusted the setup for the race and we were a lot more competitive.”
A few days off and he'll be off to Austin for F1 action at COTA.
