Lando Norris shares what excites him ahead of Max Verstappen’s 24 Hours of Nordschleife appearance

Speaking in an interview with German outlet Auto, Motor, und Sport, Lando Norris looked forward to Max Verstappen’s appearance at the 24 Hours of Nordschleife this weekend.

Expressing his support for the Dutch driver, Norris referenced Verstappen’s battles with Christopher Haase as one of the encounters that caught his eye during Verstappen’s previous stint

“It’s the 24 Hours of Nordschleife, one of the best races in the world. I’ll definitely be tuning in, maybe not for the entire 24 hours, but as much as possible.

“And of course, I’ll be supporting Max because he’s a driver I greatly respect. I’ve enjoyed watching him and Christopher Haase battle it out over the past few weeks. So, I’ll definitely be there.”

Verstappen’s extraordinary battle with Haase was the highlight of his first stint at Nurburgring earlier this year. And with an even more competitive race coming this weekend, the two are likely to cross paths again.

Max Verstappen’s racing vigour is back after Miami Grand Prix

Verstappen’s genius was on full display at the Miami Grand Prix, as he managed a P5 finish despite a five-second penalty, his best result this season.

Verstappen found his spark again, after what had been a torrid start to the season for the four-time world champion.

Perhaps this renewed passion for racing will carry him to a successful result this weekend, as Verstappen looks to build back some of the momentum he lost in the first few races this year.

With no F1 race this coming weekend, the 24 Hours of Nordschleife will be appointment viewing for many Verstappen fans hoping to see him continue thriving.
