Max Verstappen Takes the Wheel: The F1 Star’s Thrilling GT3 Test with Mercedes in Portugal

In a stunning twist to what has been a rollercoaster racing season, four-time Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen is back in the spotlight, this time trading his Red Bull Racing machine for a roaring Mercedes AMG GT3. The Dutch racing sensation has been making headlines with his post-season escapades, and his latest adventure in Portugal has fans buzzing with excitement!

After a nail-biting conclusion to the F1 season, where he narrowly missed clinching his fifth title by a mere two points to rival Lando Norris at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Verstappen has wasted no time in getting back behind the wheel. This past week, the 28-year-old traveled to the iconic Estoril circuit, a former host of the Portuguese Grand Prix, to participate in an exhilarating GT3 test that promises to fuel his passion for endurance racing.

Verstappen, known for his unquenchable thirst for speed and competition, has long expressed his desire to delve deeper into the world of endurance racing once he hangs up his F1 gloves. His impressive track record includes a thrilling victory at the Nordschleife endurance race earlier this year alongside teammate Chris Lulham, showcasing his versatility and skill across different racing formats.

This latest test session in Estoril, conducted with the renowned 2 Seas Motorsport team, marks another significant step in Verstappen’s journey toward future GT outings. The team previously operated Verstappen.com Racing’s Aston Martin Vantage in the competitive GT World Challenge Europe, further solidifying their credentials in the motorsport arena. And joining Verstappen on the track is none other than Mercedes factory driver Jules Gounon, adding an extra layer of intensity to the proceedings.

As Verstappen clocks lap after lap in the rain-soaked Estoril, fans can’t help but marvel at his unwavering dedication to the sport. This GT3 outing not only hones his skills for potential future races but also serves as a reminder of his undying love for driving—an essential trait that has propelled him to the pinnacle of motorsport.

And here’s the kicker: this electrifying test comes on the same day that Formula 1 announced its thrilling return to Portugal in 2027, with a grand prix set to unfold around Portimao! The excitement surrounding F1 in Portugal is palpable, and Verstappen’s participation in GT3 testing only amplifies the anticipation for motorsport enthusiasts.

With the roar of engines echoing through the Estoril circuit and the rain pouring down, Max Verstappen is not just testing a car; he’s laying the groundwork for his future in racing. As fans eagerly await his next move, one thing is certain: Verstappen’s journey is far from over, and his passion for speed will continue to fuel the fire of excitement in the world of motorsport!
