Watch live action of the Nurburgring 24 Hours Qualifies, with Saturday’s action seeing Max Verstpapen taking part in race one
The opening race of the Nurburgring 24 Hours Qualifiers takes place on Saturday, with Max Verstappen in action as he continues to prepare for next month’s iconic endurance race – watch it live here.
With Formula 1 on a break in April due to the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian rounds, Verstappen has taken the opportunity to enter the double-header of Nurburgring 24 Hours qualifier races this weekend.
The #23 Gamota BMW secured pole position on Saturday during qualifying for the first race of the qualifiers, surprising many of the favoured teams, as David Jahn set a time of 8m09.488s.
The #3 Winward Mercedes of Verstappen and Lucas Auer had originally qualified sixth, but was handed a three-place grid penalty by the stewards following an investigation, leaving it in ninth place.
The first race begins at 16:30 BST and will run a four-hour duration.
