Max Verstappen found himself in the spotlight after clinching victory on his first GT3 outing at the Nurburgring. The Dutch driver’s performance has since stirred reactions on social media.
Just a week following his victory at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the Red Bull Racing driver teamed up with Chris Lulham to win today’s NLS race.
