It was the venue for the German Grand Prix in the past.\n\nVerstappen has shown a growing interest in competing outside of F1 in recent years.\n\nRed Bull has allowed him to participate, as there is a growing internal belief that Verstappen&#8217;s long-term participation in Formula 1 will be linked to how many races he is allowed to run outside the world championship.\n\nVerstappen has also expressed his desire to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at some point in the future.\n\nHe is currently 44 points behind second place, Lando Norris, and 69 points behind the leader, Oscar Piastri, in the F1 drivers&#8217; standings. McLaren boss Andrea Stella warned after the Azerbaijan Grand Prix that the Dutchman is still in the fight for the title.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Max Verstappen Conquers Nordschleife in GT3 Debut The four-time Formula 1 world champion, Max Verstappen, achieved an impressive victory in his GT3 race debut at Nordschleife on Saturday.
