George Russell has revealed he would like to compete in the N\u00fcrburgring 24 Hours one day and experience the unique challenges the event presents.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The 2026 edition of the iconic endurance race took place last weekend at the Nordschleife, attracting heightened attention due to Max Verstappen\u2019s participation.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
F1 drivers have limited opportunities to compete in other racing categories because of the sport\u2019s demanding calendar and the commitments that come with it.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
But when asked if he would like to compete at the Nurburgring 24 Hours, Russell told media including RacingNews365: \u201cYeah, definitely one day.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be honest, watching Max at the weekend was pretty cool to see.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve followed the race in the past and those 24-hour races \u2013 there, Bathurst as well \u2013 they\u2019re just brutal races.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Verstappen has long expressed his interest in endurance racing and is also regularly seen competing in long sim-racing sessions at home.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Having established himself as one of the most successful drivers in the sport\u2019s history, Verstappen has little left to prove in F1.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Russell noted that his situation is very different from Verstappen\u2019s, as he is still pursuing his first F1 title.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of us are in a slightly different position to Max,\u201d Russell said.\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, we\u2019re also pursuing to win a world championship, but obviously, he\u2019s in a luxurious position to do what he enjoys.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd yeah, that\u2019s great for him. And he did a great job.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"George Russell has revealed he would like to compete in the N\u00fcrburgring 24 Hours one day and experience…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":702079,"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-702078","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\/702078","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=702078"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/702078\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/702079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=702078"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=702078"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=702078"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
