Verstappen engulfed by ’embarrassing’ racing licence issue
Red Bull F1 star Max Verstappen is facing an ’embarrassing’ licence issue, according to Ralf Schumacher. Verstappen expressed his desire to race in the NLS series after testing at the Nordschleife under the fake name Franz Hermann. He is set to race this weekend at the Nordschleife in a Porsche Cayman GT4 with the goal of participating in the classic 24-hour race. Verstappen must gain a permit to race in the NLS despite his F1 status, which involves completing a written exam and potentially two smaller races. The aim is to compete in Sunday’s race in the top NLS class with Emil Frey Racing. Schumacher finds the process ’embarrassing,’ criticizing the focus on Verstappen’s permit instead of celebrating his participation at the Nordschleife.
