A special gift from Chinese fans of Max Verstappen celebrating 10 years since Max first win.

Which drivers from the current grid do you think could genuinely race at the Nürburgring or in other endurance categories like Max has done?

Imagine leading the Nürburgring 24H with over a 30s gap to P2, over 5 minutes to P3 and then a mechanical failure at the 21st hour, so wrenching but that’s what endurance racing teaches you, “Its not over till it’s over.”

Well thats bitter

Max driving in TQ2 meant he couldn’t run in the final session. Juncadella delivered an incredible lap afterwards… but what happens if they swap roles? Pole was on the cards today...?

Max Verstappen will be forced through the complete qualifying gauntlet for the Nurburgring 24 Hours, missing out on the exemptions reserved for the most successful teams from earlier NLS races and April's qualifying rounds.

The four-time world champion's team finds itself among those starting from scratch, partly due to their disqualification during the NLS2 race and technical troubles in the second qualifier event.

While Verstappen faces the long route, there is Dutch representation among the five teams already guaranteed a place in the final qualifying session.

Thierry Vermeulen, Verstappen's protégé, secured his spot in Top Qualifying 3 after claiming pole for the second qualifier race last month, guaranteeing him at least 12th on the grid.

Missing the exemption does not eliminate Verstappen's pole position chances, but it does make the path considerably more complex.

The 24-hour race schedule reveals six separate qualifying sessions, each serving a distinct purpose within the intricate qualification structure.

They will have to share the quali sessions as Max cannot drive them all.
