Max Verstappen And Fernando Alonso They would consider sharing equipment. The Dutch driver has admitted that he would like to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans as a team with the Spaniard, a two-time champion of this race. Two of the best drivers of all time could form an unprecedented dream team, which would undoubtedly be a candidate for victory in the great endurance race.
Verstappen would like to complete his team with Alonso and his father, Jos, a former Dutch driver, in fourth position: “I keep joking with Fernando Alonso that we want to do it togetherso that would be pretty cool. So we already have three drivers. I keep telling my dad we have to do it. He doesn’t want to do it, but I would add him as fourth. It would be a fun week, for sure,” said the three-time world champion.
Fernando He already had experience of participating in the Endurance World Championship and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans two years in a row (2018 and 2019) with Toyota Gazoo Racing, alongside Swiss Sébastien Buemi and Japanese Kazuki Nakajima. It was his first participation in the most famous and toughest endurance race in the world and he showed why he is one of the best drivers in history. Now, Verstappen dreams of sharing a team with him in the 24 hours.
As third pilotThe Dutchman indicated that he would like it to be Nyck de Vrieswho was in AlphaTauri and this year in the World Endurance Championship where he participated with Toyota Gazoo Racing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans: “One of those I would like to have in the team is without a doubt Nyck de Vries. He is fast and very light. At the moment, when you are very fast and light, the laps of Le Mans are superb”, explained Verstappen in GPblog.com.
A dream team
VerstappenHe currently has a contract with Red Bull until 2028 and Alonso recently renewed with Aston Martin until 2026. In fact, the double world champion will coincide in the team with the best engineer of recent years, Adrian Newey, whose signing as the British is increasingly close. The truth is that in the future, Max and Fernando could leave Formula 1 aside for the World Endurance Championship.
Max’s dream could come true in the future. As the Dutchman commented, it is a topic that they will talk about among themselves in the coming years. An experience that the triple world champion has not yet had, but with his quality and adherence to Fernando Alonso They could form a dream team never seen before. Two Formula 1 world champions and two of the best drivers in history united for the same goal, to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. In the case of the Spaniards, it would be the third time and in the case of the Dutch, the first.
Meanwhile, both are focused on the current Formula 1 season. Verstappen is competing in the World Championship, where he has a 61-point lead over second-placed Lando Norris. Red Bull’s is the big favourite, but McLaren’s is coming increasingly with a car that has established itself as the great rival of those of the energy drink.
