Verstappen forced to PAY for petrol to race
Four-time world champion Max Verstappen is learning that not all his racing needs are readily met despite his impressive titles. During a F1 season packed with races, he decided to race Porsches at the Nurburgring during a week off to gain experience and earn an ‘A Permit’ licence. This will allow him to race a Ferrari for Emil Frey Racing at the 57th ADAC Barbarossapreis. In the NLS series, unlike in F1, teams have to pay for petrol used in pit-stops by purchasing an all-inclusive package that covers essential race costs. Even with an annual earnings exceeding £50 million, Verstappen is focused on expanding his racing skills and taking on new challenges outside of Formula 1.
