Perhaps his tremendous speed in qualifying for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix can be explained: Max Verstappen was in a hurry, after all. The Dutchman not only has a Grand Prix to drive, but he is also competing in the virtual Nürburgring 24 Hours this weekend with his sim racing squad, Team Redline.
It's a busy weekend for Verstappen. After qualifying Verstappen said: "The race is already on, that one as well. So, yeah, a few more things to do after this, of course and then I'll try to head back and do my stints before I arrive at the track here tomorrow."
Of course, in a 24-hour race, you have to race at night. Might the reining world champion be virtually in a battle at 3am on the night of Saturday or Sunday? "Not too late, no. I need a good sleep for sure!"
