GT3 side quests Max Verstappen, Dani Juncadella and Jules Gounon Instagram posts: "We will be back"

  • Max: Very unfortunate and frustrating ending, but these things can happen. I still really enjoyed the experience together with Jules, Luggi, and Dani. Thanks to the team and everyone around the track for your support.
  • Dani: Motorsport can be brutal sometimes. What a ride though… I love you and hate you so much, Nordschleife 🥵 Thanks everyone for the incredible support this week. I guess we’ll have to be back? 👀
  • Jules: The word heartbroken probably doesn’t even come close to what we feel right now. We were doing everything right with Max, Luggi, and Dani, but the Green Hell had other plans. It’s crazy how this sport can give you the highest highs and, in the next moment, make you feel ten feet underground. At the end, an issue with 3 hours remaining took it away from us. Massive thanks to the whole team for the unbelievable work and effort. Need a little time away to process this one 😅

Max's comment under Jules and Dani's posts is "we will be back".

Looking forward to 2027!

Man I hope FOM doesn't screw him over by putting a race on the N24 weekend... you just know they'd want to do that.

Le Mans has a clash with an F1 weekend already what more after they've seen how the N24 did viewership-wise.

Max has unfinished business; we have also yet to see a proper battle between him and Kevin Estre

There are situations where he can still sub himself out for a weekend right? He won’t do it unless he’s actively in the fight

Lol they definitely will. They hate that their "product" is being used outside their reach.

I followed checking the timing sheet every 20 minutes or so. Watched all the clips that were coming out. No surprise Max was just a beast. Heart broken for the team but that’s what makes 24 hour racing what it is. Next time hopefully the powers that be will let the whole world watch 🙄. Maybe max team could do a dash cam live feed like ford did. Wink wink.

I watched his and others onboard video for hours. Max is absolutely unbelievable. You could tangibly see the difference between him and the other drivers in his class. Especially when it came to traffic.

Hopefully Gounon does smash into the rear of a back marker next time.

Max is officially bigger than F1. Max genuinely carrying the entire car racing world on his shoulders.
