Overview

• Fresh off a debut GT3 victory at the Nordschleife with Emil Frey Racing in a Ferrari 296 GT3 alongside Chris Lulham, Max Verstappen cautioned that a 2026 24 Hours bid is uncertain.
• Verstappen reiterated that Formula 1 remains his main focus, citing a 24‑race calendar and the complexity of the 2026 technical reset as key constraints on extra programmes.
• In Singapore he put his title chances at “50 percent,” even as he trails Oscar Piastri by 69 points, with fellow drivers offering estimates ranging from 10 to 100 percent.
• Rivals praised the Nürburgring feat and noted their envy of his freedom to race elsewhere, with George Russell saying such latitude comes with four world titles.
• Emil Frey Racing said it would welcome future entries with Verstappen and noted a 24H effort would require additional co-drivers, though no decisions have been made.
