For Christopher Haase, sharing the track with Max Verstappen during the NLS at the Nürburgring felt surprisingly natural.
Christopher Haase found it surprisingly natural to share the track with Max Verstappen during the NLS at the Nürburgring. Haase, driving the Scherer-PHX-Audi #16, outqualified Verstappen’s #3 Winward Mercedes ahead of the 24-hour race. Verstappen’s presence has greatly increased the visibility of GT and endurance racing worldwide, according to Haase. Despite the attention on Verstappen, Haase feels little added pressure within his team as they lack a factory backing. Haase enjoyed intense battles with Verstappen on track and hopes they can continue in the future races. He was impressed by how naturally Verstappen adapted to GT racing and expects a highly competitive Nürburgring 24 Hours grid with strong contenders from Porsche and BMW.
