The Formula One champion was just two thousandths of a second short of pole position, which incidentally also went to Team Redline. Jeffrey Rietveld was just too fast for the Red Bull Racing driver.

The virtual event starts Saturday afternoon at 13:30. Verstappen will be joined by teammates Maximilian Benecke, Atze Kerkhof and Felix Rosenqvist. Fernando Alonso will also take part in the event. However, the two-time world champion is not participating as a driver, but will be present in the role of team manager.
