While Juncadella, Auer, and Gounon are all experienced endurance sports car racers, Verstappen is taking part in his first blue riband endurance event at the Nürburgring 24 Hours. His squad lines up in fourth place on the grid, with Juncadella having taken care of the crucial runs in the defining Top Qualifying 3 session on Friday – the Spanish driver will also be the man behind the wheel for the first stint. With Verstappen opting against any media interviews or opportunities this weekend, his teammates have been bearing the weight of the interest surrounding the entry and, on Friday evening, PlanetF1.com had the chance to speak with both Juncadella and Gounon in the Verstappen Racing garage. With a decent grid position secured for the start of the endurance race, the car is undoubtedly one of the contenders for the outright victory, even with Verstappen’s inexperience at events of this type. His endurance preparations have consisted of a series of four-hour events in recent months, with his attempt at gaining nighttime experience at the NLS5 last month called off due to the cancellation of the race following the tragic fatal accident involving Juha Miettinen, although he managed some time behind the wheel in the wet and dark conditions in Qualifying 2 on Thursday
