Few people know, but Max Verstappen is not only interested in Formula 1, the driver also has his own racing team, which has now signed a contract with Aston Martin.
In light of the known F1 rumors, it is quite interesting and can be considered a strong approach that Verstappen.com Racing will compete in the GT World Challenge Endurance series with the British manufacturer's racing car and direct support.
The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 will be driven by the trio of Harry King, Thierry Vermeulen and Chris Lulham. The challenge will be particularly exciting for the latter, as the youngster comes from the world of simulation and this will be his first race car in real life. The Verstappen team has long been helping young drivers spread their wings, but this will be the first time they have given an athlete from a virtual environment the opportunity:
"I have always dreamed of helping young drivers one day and I have been working for some time to create this opportunity for a simulator driver. Together with Chris Lulham, whom I know well from the Team Redline simulator team, as well as Thierry Vermeulen and Harry King, we are taking on a new and exciting challenge. We will be working with a professional team in a championship that is very challenging. There is still a lot of work to do to get the most out of our cars and drivers, but our goal is clearly to fight at the top. We are looking forward to an exciting year!" said Max Verstappen, who cannot be ruled out joining the team himself one day.
Let's say after a successful F1 season with Aston Martin...
