Kendati demikian, pengalaman berbagi kemudi dengan rekan setimnya di lintasan basah menjadi momen yang sangat berkesan.

It was something that I really enjoyed."

Persiapan panjang yang telah dilakukan timnya dinilai terbayar tuntas dengan performa solid sepanjang akhir pekan di Nurburgring. "It was something that we prepared for a long time.

We managed to get it all together for that weekend. It was really cool and it was also something that I would like to keep going."

Verstappen pun menegaskan ambisinya untuk kembali berpartisipasi dalam balapan ketahanan tersebut di masa depan. "I want to win it.

So I want to go back."
