What we learned from Team Verstappen’s lost Nurburgring win

Max Verstappen’s woeful luck on the Nordschleife in 2026 continued with a heartbreaking blow while on course to win the Nurburgring 24 Hours on debut. Verstappen might be partly using the Nurburgring as a glorious distraction from a version of F1 he’s been hating this year, but make no mistake, he had been tirelessly working for months to achieve one clear goal - to win on his Nurburgring 24 debut.
