REVEALED: THE 2026 MERCEDES-AMG GT3 SQUAD MAX VERSTAPPEN IS BUILDING FOR HIMSELF
Max Verstappen targets the 2026 Nürburgring 24h with a new Mercedes-AMG deal. Discover if the NLS will move for the F1 superstar.
Max Verstappen has never made a secret of his drive to win beyond Formula 1. Sure, he’s all in for the world championship, but there’s a lot more on his mind than just F1 trophies.
Last season, while he was still hunting down Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri in the F1 standings, Max also kicked off his GT3 adventure. He had to get his racing license for GT3 cars first, but once that was sorted, he jumped straight into a four-hour race at the legendary Nordschleife. And, true to form, he won on debut with Chris Lulham—even though qualifying didn’t exactly go their way. That’s classic Verstappen.
Unlike Lewis Hamilton or Fernando Alonso, Max isn’t planning on sticking around F1 into his 40s. He’s got his eye on other challenges—other racing dreams he wants to chase.
In a recent interview, Verstappen finally revealed which races outside F1 matter most to him.
So, which ones top Max’s wish list? He’s aiming high: the Nordschleife 24 Hours and Le Mans.
On the Team Redline YouTube channel, someone asked Max which race he’d rather win: Le Mans in a hypercar or the Spa 24 in a GT car. His answer was pretty much “Why not both?” He said, “I want to win both of them! It’s difficult to choose, but winning in a hypercar is really cool as well, but at the same time, like, winning in a full GT3 field is also really cool. But probably if you have to pick between the two, probably the Le Mans hypercar.”
When pressed to pick just one GT race he’d really want, he didn’t hesitate: “The Nords [Nordschleife] 24.”
Talking about his Nordschleife race in 2025, Max just lit up. “I mean, I had a lot of fun. First of all, the track is great. Like, everything was just really nice. And also the conditions as well. You know, you had a bit of rain in qualifying, where I think I scared you a little bit, right? I knew as soon as I went over the grass, I was like, “I know the onboard is on, and people are watching it,” and I was like, “I’m sure that they are like shitting themselves right now.”
So what’s next for him outside F1, especially looking at 2026? He hasn’t nailed down his exact plans yet. But right before Christmas, Verstappen’s GT squad announced a big switch—they’ll be running Mercedes cars from now on, signing a multi-year deal with the German brand.
Verstappen Racing will compete in the GT World Challenge Europe and its Sprint Cup, though it’s Chris Lulham who’ll be driving in those events.
According to Autosport, Max is looking to jump into the Nürburgring Nordschleife 24 Hours this year. Red Bull has apparently given him the green light to enter, but he still needs to do a prep race first. The problem? That race clashes with the F1 calendar, landing on the same weekend as the Chinese Grand Prix. Unless organisers push things back by a week, Max’s chance to qualify for the big event (which runs May 16-17) is up in the air.
If Verstappen shows up, the hype around the race will go through the roof. But whether the organisers will reshuffle the schedule just so Max can take his shot? That’s still anyone’s guess.
MELBOURNE WARNING: MAX SAYS FANS WILL SEE "UNNATURAL" LIFT-AND-COAST DURING THE AUSTRALIAN OPENER
Max Verstappen calls 2026 F1 rules "anti-racing." Discover why he thinks the new engines feel like Formula E on steroids.
Max Verstappen isn’t letting up on his criticism of the new 2026 Formula 1 rules. He says F1 needs to “stay away” from turning into Formula E.
Last week in Bahrain, Verstappen really stirred things up during pre-season testing. He called the new rules “anti-racing” and basically said the series is turning into “Formula E on steroids".
Here’s what’s going on: the next generation of F1 engines will rely way more on electrical power, almost a 50-50 split with the combustion engine. So, battery management is about to become a huge part of racing, not just a side thing.
What does that actually mean? Well, drivers might have to downshift even on the straights just to save energy. That’s a move straight out of Formula E, where drivers sometimes drop back on purpose to save battery and then attack late in the race.
Verstappen wants none of it. When someone asked him if F1 might start attracting more Formula E drivers because of all this battery management or even become a feeder series for the all-electric championship, he didn’t hold back. “Well, let’s hope not,” he said.
He clarified he’s not against the drivers. “There are a lot of good drivers in Formula E who could do well here,” Verstappen said. “But I don’t want F1 to get close to Formula E.”
He was pretty blunt about what he wants: “I want us to actually stay away from that and be Formula 1. So don’t add more battery. Actually, get rid of that and focus on a proper engine. Let Formula E be Formula E, because that’s their thing.”
He’s seen the new Gen4 Formula E car, and he thinks it looks cool. “But let them be Formula E, and we should stick to Formula 1. Let’s not mix them up.”
Verstappen isn’t the only one talking about the 2026 rules. They’ve really split opinions. Lando Norris, last year’s world champion, said the new cars are “a lot of fun".
When someone asked Verstappen if he got any pushback from the authorities for speaking out, he just shrugged it off. “I’m just sharing my opinion,” he said. “We have free speech. That’s how I feel. Not everyone has to agree, and honestly, it doesn’t really matter what other people say. I got a question, and I answered it.
“I think I’m allowed to do that. So it’s not about pushback or anything.”
THE 2026 BLUEPRINT: HOW LEWIS HAMILTON IS SECRETLY SHAPING FERRARI’S NEXT-GEN POWER UNIT
Lewis Hamilton is betting on 2026: Discover why Jenson Button believes new F1 rules will save Hamilton’s struggling Ferrari career.
Jenson Button thinks the new Formula 1 rules are going to be a turning point for Lewis Hamilton’s future in the sport. Hamilton’s first year with Ferrari? Pretty rough. He didn’t even get on the podium once, a first for him, and finished sixth in the drivers’ standings, while Ferrari landed fourth in the Constructors’ Championship. Now, Hamilton’s 41 and not shy about wanting things to get better this season. Button, though, is still hopeful. He figures Hamilton’s early work with Ferrari’s 2026 car could really pay off.
Button knows what he’s talking about; he spent three years as Hamilton’s teammate at McLaren. Watching Hamilton struggle last season was hard for him. “It was tough, I have to say, watching Lewis in 2025,” Button told Sky Sports News before the new season kicks off in Australia on March 8. “I know how good he is. You could see how much it hurt him. You almost forget everything he’s accomplished because you just see the pain in his face. But honestly, with these new regulations, I think we’ll see Lewis back at his best.”
Button thinks Hamilton’s going to have a real say in how Ferrari builds the new car, and that’ll make a big difference. “He’ll help shape the car in a way that works for him,” Button said. “I hope we see that. Everyone wants to see Ferrari and Lewis fighting at the front again.”
The rule changes this time around are pretty major. The biggest stuff? Overhauls to the power unit and new hybrid engines. Aerodynamics are getting a shake-up, too, and F1’s dropping the drag reduction system completely. Teams also have to deal with new financial rules after the cap on operational costs went up. Ferrari’s hoping all this helps them get back in the title fight. Button, who just retired last year, says with all these changes, “anything is possible” as the sport heads into a new era.
Last season, Hamilton’s teammate Charles Leclerc outshone him, grabbing seven podiums even though they drove the same car. Leclerc’s been at Ferrari longer, so that probably helped, but Hamilton’s betting that another year at Maranello will give him what he needs by 2026.
Still, Button doesn’t sugarcoat it. If things don’t turn around for Hamilton this year, it might never work out, which could mean the end of the road for him in F1. “Switching teams and going up against someone who’s been there for years is always tough,” Button said. “But now Lewis has had time to settle in, build relationships, and shape the car’s direction. This year’s huge for him. If it doesn’t click, I don’t know if it ever will. This is his chance to turn things around.”
