Le Mans is one of the most iconic races in the world of motorsports. Hence, the Red Bull prodigy aims to take part in the series, but in the distant future when it becomes more clear of what he wants to achieve.

Being asked by Autosport, Max said, “Yeah, we do talk about it a little bit. Hypercar is now coming along, but it still needs a few more entries to be fully established.”

“I think it takes a few more years to really get a bit more of a proper picture of what I want to do possibly in Le Mans,” he concluded.

The Dutch driver isn’t sure how Red Bull will perform in Brazil

The Milton-Keynes-based outfit are heading to Interlagos after winning the recent Mexican GP. However, Verstappen isn’t optimistic about how things will go this weekend.

As quoted by Motorsport.com, Verstappen said, “We’re going to Brazil now and it’s hard to say how competitive we will be. We won the race in 2019 but the fight was close the whole race. I think it’s going to be the same this year. We’ll see what the weather will be like, as the power scheme can be significantly affected.”

“So far I’ve done a good job in sprint races but the races ended badly. I hope we can reverse that trend this time,” Max concluded. (Translated from Turkish via Google)
