Buemi: Verstappen will immediately show great pace at Le Mans

      Sebastien Buemi, a former Formula 1 driver, has been competing in the WEC and Formula E for a long time and boasts championship titles in both of these championships. He is now preparing for the 13th Le Mans Super Marathon of his career, a 24-hour race the Swiss, along with his Toyota factory team mates, has already won four times.

      Sebastien has no doubt that when Max Verstappen decides to try his hand at endurance racing in the future, he will immediately be able to show excellent speed.

      Max has been talking about his interest in participating in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for a long time, although his dream of riding this race in the same crew with his father seems less realistic, but that's another story. And of the drivers who are continuing their active careers now, Verstappen is ready to take Fernando Alonso and Nick de Vries as his teammates.

      When Buemi was asked how quickly Max would be able to adapt to the special demands that the classic circuit of the Sarthe circuit places on any beginner, he replied: "Right away, and to the fullest extent. I want to say that he devotes so much time to virtual racing that he knows this circuit very well and understands what the 24 Hours of Le Mans is.

      He knows the schedule, he knows how everything works. Although when I was preparing for my Le Mans debut, I watched this race on TV several times, but I had a bad idea of the weekend's program. And his father, of course, participated in this race at one time (in 2008 and 2009), so Max knows everything perfectly well, although he has never participated in this race. I have no doubt that he will immediately show impressive speed."
