Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen has taken victory in the #31 Ferrari 296 in his debut GT3 race in the Nurburgring Endurance Series.
The Dutchman took the lead from third on the grid into the first corner, and he and team-mate Chris Lulham never looked back, taking a commanding win by 24.4s from the #9 Haupt Racing Team Ford Mustang.
Verstappen was in the Emil Frey Racing Ferrari 296, adorned in Verstappen.com Racing and Red Bull colours, for qualifying earlier in the day, taking third, bemoaning traffic on his final run, which he felt denied him pole position.
But the obstruction on that lap, as the fog that delayed proceedings lifted, did not matter, as he and Lulham took an astounding maiden triumph.
