168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen is set to participate in a virtual 24-hour sim race alongside this weekend’s F1 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

The Dutchman is renowned for his sꦯim racing exploits, often represenܫting Team Redline in various events.

Even though Verstappen is in F1 action this weekend at Imola, he’s been officia🌃lly listed on Redline’s line-up for the virtual 24-hour Nurburgring race.

Given that endurance events often see drivers rotate throughout the mammoth race, if the times 🐠align, Verstappen could compete in both events this weekend.

Verstap🎐pen was asked about it when ta൲lking to the media at Imola on Thursday.

“It’s not a clash… An endurance ra𒈔ce you do wi🎃th multiple people, right? We’ll see, nothing is fully confirmed yet,” he said.

“We’ll see how it goes. Of course this is the priority,♏ but if I have a bit of free time, who knows?”

Verstappen also revealed that he h꧃a🤡s a sim rig set up in his motorhome, allowing him to compete.

“I have a full sim rig, yeah. Not the sim rig at hom💃e, but I built a new one. It’s importaཧnt to have a good connection.”

Upgrades at Imola for Red Bull

Like Ferrari,ﷺ Red Bull are introducing a significant upgrade at Imola.

While Nor𝓰ris did take the lead because of the Safety Car, he had the fastest race pace o꧅ut there.

Looking ahead to this weekend, Verst🧔appen admitted that he doesn’t know how competitive Red Bull will be.

“There are more people coming with upgrades - Ferrari for example come here with a big, big upgrade, so at the moment it’s difficult to kܫnow where we’re ꦗgoing to be,” he said.

“I mean it’s not responding, these things are already planned out for a long time. It’s not like one team comes with upgrades anᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd we go ‘Oh we need to put some༒thing together’, it’s literally already in the pipeline.

“We are happy with it, but naturally you have to keep on pushing, because the teams behind us are definitely catching up - as you could see in Miami when we don’t get 💃things 100% right they are ahead. We have to try and make sure we don’t have too many of those weekends.▨”
