Max Verstappen could be the next Formula One driver heading to Le Mans. Nico Hulkenberg breathed new life into his career by winning the fabled 24-hour endurance race in June on his first attempt.
And now 17-year-old Verstappen, despite his age and his rookie status in F1, is also casting eyes at Le Mans. That could be because of strong rumors in the Dutch media that his father and former F1 driver Jos is also said to be eyeing the sports-car race.
"You could see me racing again next year," Jos Verstappen, who last raced in F1 for Minardi in 2003, said. "I hope to do Le Mans next year but at the moment I can't say it's 100 percent for sure."
And Max said the idea of teaming up with his dad is "certainly interesting."
"I would like to do Le Mans with my father," Max said. "For sure he (Jos) is still competitive -- you don't lose your speed. It's certainly interesting, but I think it is something for later."
