Max Verstappen’s Shocking Move Away from F1 After Austrian Grand Prix Drama

Drama unfolded at the Austrian Grand Prix as Max Verstappen found himself ruled out of the race after a collision with Kimi Antonelli on the first lap. The four-time world champion’s early exit led to a surprising turn of events as Verstappen snubbed F1 and shifted his focus to the endurance racing spectacle, the 24 Hours of Spa.

Amidst the chaos in Austria, Verstappen admitted to the media that he was more interested in the Spa 24 Hours event where his GT3 team, Verstappen.com Racing Aston Martin, was competing. The team managed to secure victory in the Gold Class, finishing P9 overall. Verstappen expressed his pride in their achievement, stating, “For us to be P9 overall – and of course we won our class – in our first attempt doing it, I think that’s something that we can be very proud of.”

This unexpected turn of events raises questions about Verstappen’s future in racing. The Dutchman had previously tested GT3 machinery at the Nurburgring Nordschleife and skipped F1 commitments for Spa GT3 tests. Verstappen emphasized the importance of gaining experience in endurance racing, mentioning, “It was very early in the season so I just wanted to get a bit more experience.”

As speculation grows about Verstappen’s potential shift towards GT3 racing, fans are left wondering about his next move and whether he will continue to pursue opportunities outside of Formula 1. Stay tuned for more updates on Max Verstappen’s racing endeavors as the season unfolds.
