Max ‘Franz Hermann’ Verstappen Smashes GT3 Record in Disguised Nürburgring Test

Turns out the mystery man on last week’s Nürburgring entry list – “Franz Hermann” – was none other than four-time F1 champ Max Verstappen.
Running Emil Frey Racing’s Ferrari 296 GT3, Max quietly clocked a 7:49.5 – quicker than Christian Krognes’ official NLS GT3 benchmark – while gathering data for the Swiss squad’s future Nordschleife plans.

  • How soon before we see Max in the Nürburgring 24 Hours – and in what class?
