Max Verstappen was seen testing a Ferrari 296 GT3 endurance car at the Nurburgring in Germany. The four-time F1 champion is racing against Ferrari in the Formula 1 races but is very much open to using their car for his own team, Vertsappen.com Racing.

Verstappen is looking far beyond an F1 career, and that is why he wanted to start his own WEC team for his future. Nürburgring in Germany is considered one of the most dangerous race tracks ever built by mankind. Countless accidents and race incidents have happened at this track, and there were many great drivers who have lost their lives while racing in the Nurburgring. But it is also the testing ground for teams, as the track layout is a Himalayan challenge for any car. 

Teams take this challenge very personally and develop their car to withstand the tough, challenging conditions of the old track. Verstappen is a born fighter, and he also wanted to embrace the Nurburgring challenge. So he took the steering wheel and tried a few laps for his team.

During that time, another driver practising on the track took a video of Verstappen flying past him at one of the dangerous corners. He posted the video on social media, where he empathises with Max’s rival Lando Norris. The post said, “Now I know how Norris feels being passed by Max Verstappen.” Another racing driver named mgcharoudin posted a message saying, “Bro shows up. Does a lap record with a full tank and traffic. Refuses to elaborate. Leaves.”

Everyone there wondered where Verstappen got all his talents. He creates records both on single-seaters and double-seater racing cars with ease. Verstappen doesn't want to be in F1 like Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton. He expects new challenges, so he will retire earlier and try new things like the WEC and Rally championships.
