168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen used a fake alias as he confirmed rumour💯s he smasheꦓd the lap record around the legendary Nurburgring driving a GT3 car.

The reigning F1 world champion swapped his Red Bull for a Ferrari 296 GT3 car as he secretly entered a NLS test 🌠at the ꦐNurburgring Nordschleife last Friday - using the pseudonym “Franz Hermann” to conceal his identity in the entry list.

Verstappen took an Emil Frey Racing Ferrari carrying the black and red Ve✨rstappen.com livery for a spin around the legendary German venue.

Rumours quickly circulated that Verstappen had set a time quicker than the current GT3 lap record, something the Dutchman confirmed when he spoke to med🅺ia ahead of this weekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.

"They asked me for a fake name, so I said let's make it as German as we can,” Verstappen is quoted as saying at Imola by Mot꧙orsport.com

"[I had a fake name because] then you'r✅e not on the entry list. Otherwise people woke up at 8am knowiꦦng that my name is there.

“I knew that once I was there that people would realise. It's normal. But at least I wasn't on the entry list. So at least at 8, 9am iಞt was pretty calm.

"But for me, I'm not there to show that I can break a lap reco🔯rd or whatever record. I was just having fun and learning the tr💙ack together with the team.

“With Emil Frey as well, they weren't there before. So for them also the dream 🎉is to do the 24 Hours there.

"We just had a good time getting up to speed. We were lucky with the cond♛itions as well. It was really nice and sunny. So that's great if🅺 you can have that.”

Max Verstappen beats lap record by two seconds 

No official data was released from the test but Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko claimed Verstappen had informed him💖 he produced a lap record for the GT3 class.

“GT✤ racing is his💎 great love and he has his own team,” Marko told Kronen Zeitung.

“He toldꦇ me that he beat a record by two seconds after just three laps, knew e𝕴very one of his lap times and everything about the suspension.

“He was almost more into the details than he wa🌜s with his Formula 1 car.”

𓆏Verstappen’s attention now turns back to F1 and the upcoming European triple header which starts at Imola this weekend.

The 27-year-old trails McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri by 32 points in the world championship after t👍he opening six rounds of the 2෴025 season.
