Verstappen test verdict delivered after F1 champion drives Ferrari

Max Verstappen impressed during a GT racing test in December

Max Verstappen recently saw his test performance in a GT Ferrari hailed as 'brilliant' by Emil Frey Racing team principal Lorenz Frey-Hilti.

Verstappen is actively pursuing his dream of launching his GT racing team and has recently test-driven a range of high-performance vehicles, including the Ferrari 296 GT3, Audi R8 LMS Evo II, and Porsche 911 GT3 R.

The recent tests, conducted last month, garnered insights from Frey-Hilti, who leads a GT racing stable specialising in Ferraris.

Verstappen's manager's son, Thierry Vermeulen, contributed to the initial steps by participating in GT racing events with a Verstappen.com-sponsored Ferrari 296 GT3, showcasing impressive podium finishes and exceptional qualifying averages.
