In a shocking turn of events, Max Verstappen finds himself embroiled in a social media dispute after his impressive lap times at the Nordschleife test session raised eyebrows and sparked controversy.

The four-time champion’s performance at the legendary Nurburgring circuit during a GT3 test session under a pseudonym caught the attention of racing enthusiasts and professionals alike. Maro Engel, a seasoned Mercedes driver, was quick to comment on Verstappen’s lap times, suggesting that the car used may have had advantages in weight, power, and ride height compared to NLS regulations.

Verstappen wasted no time in refuting Engel’s claims, calling them “false” and questioning the validity of the speculations without knowledge of the car’s setup and engine mapping. The heated exchange on social media shed light on the competitive nature of the sport and the scrutiny top drivers like Verstappen face even in test sessions.

Engel’s remarks also drew commentary from David Perel, another racing specialist, who acknowledged Verstappen’s potential in GT3 racing if he were to pursue it seriously. Despite the controversy, Perel noted the Dutch driver’s impressive power and top speed during the test session, hinting at a promising future in the GT3 arena.

As Verstappen continues to make waves both on and off the track, the debate surrounding his performance at the Nordschleife serves as a testament to the intense scrutiny and high expectations placed upon Formula 1’s brightest stars. The clash of opinions between drivers and experts only adds fuel to the fire, creating a buzz of excitement and anticipation for Verstappen’s next move in the world of motorsport.
