Verstappen is a cyclone Max Verstappen seriously risked finishing the 24th of the Ring during the first lap of his stint, but the thrill left no consequences on the four-time F1 world champion who went into the fight as if there were 22 minutes and not 22 hours left until the checkered flag. The Dutch driver overtook on the outside by putting his wheels on the grass, made a sensational braking move in Turn-1 and performed other surgical maneuvers, eating up his opponents one after the other until he took the #3 Mercedes into the lead in the 24 hours of the Nurburgring. Below is the overview of Verstappen’s exploits, a real cyclone in this first stint in which the 1997 class showed off his entire repertoire, showing off a superfine racecraft. If you want to follow the race in live streaming here you will find everything you need. The checkered flag will fly tomorrow at 3pm.
