I got invited by a good friend who is the circuit commentator, just to experience Nordschliefe. Then, once we realised that we would have good access (and we already had the live stream for a few years now) we turned it into a work weekend and a good story

What we learned from another lost Verstappen Nurburgring win
What we learned from another lost Verstappen Nurburgring win For the second time this year, Max Verstappen and his team lost what looked like a certain victory on the Nordschleife. This time, Verstappen and Lucas Auer saw their sizeable lead eroded to nothing…

2026 has already been the most insane year. Haven’t been home since January. Ukrainian prisoner exchanges, Paddy’s Day on the beach in Rio, a half marathon, Vietnam War history. Some amazing work projects coming. And now en route to the Nurburgring to see Max Verstappen!
