Formula 1 News: Verstappen rules out further Nordschleife races in 2026

Max Verstappen has ruled out any further appearances at the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 2026, citing a scheduling conflict with the GT World Challenge. The Red Bull F1 driver had competed in several events at the German circuit this year, including an NLS race where he took a victory that was later stripped due to a tire regulation infringement, and the Nurburgring 24 Hours, which ended with a technical failure. Speaking in Barcelona, Verstappen confirmed no additional Nordschleife appearances will be possible around his Formula 1 commitments.
