The prospect of seeing Max and Jos Verstappen together at Le Mans fades 

Although engaged in Formula 1 with Red Bull until 2028 and totally focused on this career, Max Verstappen has never hidden his desire to open up to other disciplines.

I've been there before, when my father raced at Le Mans (two participations for Jos Verstappen in 2008 and 2009). The atmosphere is incredible for endurance. There are so many people, we ride at night, at sunrise… I think it’s really cool »

Indeed, the former Benetton driver suggested that his career on the circuit is definitely behind him as he converted to a rally driver a little over a year ago. “ No, he responds on the family’s official website when asked about a possible return to the routes. I take advantage of rally. We have to let young people race at Le Mans, I find rallying much more exciting. » It will therefore be without Jos for Max Verstappen in the event of participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the future. Without forgetting that the Dutchman is not a big fan of the BoP… So from there to seeing him come charging at the Mulsannes, we will have to be patient…
