Verstappen along the line at Vermeulen test days at Paul Ricard

Promoted to the DTM championship in 2023, 20-year-old Thierry Vermeulen is enjoying a meteoric career. Under the banner of Verstappen.com Racing, the Dutchman is now testing at Circuit Paul Ricard and Max Verstappen sought him out.

The son of Verstappen's manager is flying up in motorsport. It is only his third year in professional motorsport and Vermeulen is already driving in the leading touring car racing championship. Being affiliated with Verstappen.com Racing and working with Red Bull Racing is not holding him back and has shown him the quickest way up.

Vermeulen is now in the middle of preparations for his DTM season and is testing at Circuit Paul Ricard. Bahrain F1 GP winner Verstappen took a diversion home past Le Castellet after the race to support his protégé. You can see the photos in the post below.
