🗣️'[Helmut Marko] knew that I would try and go to the limits. I would have loved to do it.' Max Verstappen has revealed how Red Bull told him he was not allowed to join the team's Nurburgring Nordschleife F1 demo run later this year ⬇️
that four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel has signed up to run alongside Daniel Ricciardo at a special event at the famous track in September.
Speaking ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, Verstappen said that the idea of him joining the event was briefly discussed with Red Bull motorsport advisor Helmut Marko but was quickly ruled out."He knew that I would try and go to the limits. I would have loved to do it." "I didn't want to start unnecessary issues," he said."I heard this thing was coming up, and Helmut was sitting at the table when it came up, and he said: 'No, no, no, you're not doing that!'"
The current record around the Nordschleife is held by Timo Bernhard, who lapped in 5m19.55 seconds in the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo in 2018 to beat Stefan Bellof's previous best from the 1983 1000km sportscar race."I would have definitely given it a go," smiled Verstappen.
