Team Verstappen narrowly missed out on pole position for the 2026 N\u00fcrburgring 24 Hours.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
It was Dani Juncadella driving for the #3 Mercedes GT3 outfit in the fight for pole, after Lucas Auer and Max Verstappen completed Top Qualifying 1 and 2, respectively.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Juncadella had two laps to try to clinch a famous pole, with his first lap putting him down in ninth on the timesheets after posting a 8m 18s.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
It was almost seven seconds adrift of Marco Mapelli in the #130 Lamborghini, elevating the pressure on Juncadella’s final lap.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
He found huge amounts of time to make a significant improvement, although narrowly missed out on pole.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The Lamborghinis proved too strong, with the #84 Lamborghini securing pole ahead of the #7 Lamborghini and the #16 Audi. Verstappen’s outfit had to settle for fourth, just eight tenths adrift of pole.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Team Verstappen narrowly missed out on pole position for the 2026 N\u00fcrburgring 24 Hours.\u00a0 It was Dani Juncadella…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":672808,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-672807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672807","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=672807"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/672807\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/672808"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=672807"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=672807"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=672807"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
