Is Verstappen already in Aston Martin's net?
2025-03-06
Few people know that Max Verstappen is not only involved in Formula 1, but he also has his own racing team, which has now signed a contract with Aston Martin.
This is quite interesting in light of the well-known F1 rumors, and can be seen as a strong approach that Verstappen.com Racing will compete in the GT World Challenge Endurance series with the British manufacturer's race car and direct support.
The Aston Martin Vantage GT3 will be led by the trio of Harry King, Thierry Vermeulen, and Chris Lulham. For the latter, the challenge will be particularly exciting, as the young man comes from the world of simulation, and this will be the first race car with which he will compete in reality. The Verstappen team has been supporting the development of young drivers for a long time, but this will be the first opportunity for an athlete coming from a virtual environment:
"I have always dreamed of helping young drivers one day, and I have been working for a while to create this opportunity for a simulator racer. Together with Chris Lulham, whom I know well from the Team Redline simulator team, as well as Thierry Vermeulen and Harry King, we are taking on a new, exciting challenge. We will work with a professional team in a championship that presents a serious challenge. There is still a lot of work ahead of us to get the most out of our cars and our drivers, but our goal is clearly to compete at the front. We are looking forward to an exciting year!" - said Max Verstappen, who absolutely cannot be ruled out from joining the unit one day.
Let's say after a successful F1 period spent with an Aston Martin...
