Racing driver Max Verstappen sets to compete in a new race series this weekend.

In a recent comment, former Formula One driver and current racing commentator Jacques Villeneuve has hinted at a potential change in the racing world. According to reports by German media outlet Auto Motor und Sport, Villeneuve stated that Dutch racing driver Max Verstappen is replacing Lewis Hamilton, although the comment does not specify if this is in Formula One or another racing series.

The statement was made in relation to a current or future racing position, but further details about the replacement are yet to be disclosed. It's uncertain if this potential change is related to the return of Franz Hermann, who used the pseudonym during a 2025 test at the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) with the Emil Frey Racing Ferrari 296 GT3, aiming to prepare for a possible future entry in the Nürburgring 24 Hours.

Meanwhile, Max Verstappen might take action this weekend, as suggested by a private message from Red Bull's team principal Christian Horner, revealed by racing commentator Damon Brundle. The message's content is not specified, but it could indicate Verstappen's debut in the NLS, which is held at the Nürburgring circuit in Germany.

If the report is true, it will mark a return to racing for Max Verstappen, who has been focusing on Formula One since his debut in 2015. Verstappen's potential debut in the NLS could add excitement to the well-known racing series, especially given his past successes in Formula One.

Villeneuve's comment about replacing Lewis Hamilton has increased pressure on racing driver Antonelli, although further details about him are not provided in the paragraph. The win in Monza refers to Red Bull's victory in the Formula One Grand Prix held in Monza, Italy.

The Nürburgring Endurance Series is a highly regarded racing series, known for its challenging track and intense competition. It will be interesting to see if Max Verstappen's potential debut in the series will add another layer of excitement to an already thrilling event.
