Max Verstappen’s Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing is under investigation by the stewards for an incident during the Qualifiers at the Nurburgring 24 Hours Race on Saturday. The stewards at the German track are examining an incident involving Verstappen’s team-mate Lucas Auer and a Dutch competitor. The extended 90-minute session at the Nurburgring Nordschleife will determine the grid for Race 1 of the 24h Qualifiers, a four-hour race scheduled later in the day.
