F1 champion Max Verstappen will be reuniting with friends at the Nurburgring this weekend, but he won’t be eager to shake everyone’s hand. Last year, he outperformed his competition at the same event under the alias “Franz Hermann,” which sparked controversy after Maro Engel exposed the situation on social media. Verstappen clarified his actions, stating he was there to have fun and learn, not break lap records or attack other drivers. Despite knowing Engel personally, he expressed irritation over unnecessary comments and will now face him on the track for the first time, aiming to secure victory in the upcoming race. Verstappen’s focus remains on giving his best performance and supporting fair competition.
