Max Verstappen could reportedly be given the all-clear from the F1 2027 championship calendar to race in next year’s Nurburgring 24 Hours.
Four-time F1 champion Max Verstappen recently had a quick turnaround from the Nurburgring 24 Hours to the Canadian Grand Prix in the relentless F1 schedule. Verstappen raced in his No. 3 Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo at the Nurburgring event alongside co-drivers Jules Gounon, Dani Juncadella, and Lucas Auer. Despite leading the race, a driveshaft issue caused them to lose the lead and ultimately finish in P37. The Nurburgring event, thanks to Verstappen’s popularity, saw a record-breaking crowd and raised questions if he’ll return next year. Fortunately, as per reports, the 2027 Nurburgring race date does not seem to clash with the F1 calendar, giving hope for Verstappen’s potential redemption. F1’s 2027 calendar will bring back the Turkish and Portuguese Grand Prix, with no race scheduled to overlap with the Nurburgring event.
