Max Verstappen has a free weekend, but for him that doesn't mean a night on the town. He rather gets into his simulator, this time for the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. He spent a large part of the night there, so that Team Redline are still in the lead at the start of the morning.

The 24 hour race at the Nürburgring is part of the VCO Grand Slam series. With six hours left on the clock there seems to be no problem for Verstappen and his teammates. But it could have been different.

In the early evening on Saturday Verstappen was leading the race, but was then chased by the Urano team. The driver at the wheel of that team proved it's not easy to follow Verstappen, losing control of his car at the braking point for turn 1. Verstappen looked carefully in his mirrors and thus avoided being torpedoed.
