The numbers from Max Verstappen's Nurburgring NLS2 outing in the Mercedes-AMG GT3 are worth sitting with. Average stint lap times inside his own car: Verstappen 8:03.111 across 12 laps, Jules Gounon 8:08.580 across 7, Dani Juncadella 8:16.964 across 7. His opening stint was compared with Christopher Haase, a Nordschleife specialist in a rival Audi: Verstappen averaged around 8:05.5 to Haase's 8:05.8, and in some segments went consistently under 8:00 while his team mates stayed above. He then took pole with a 7:51.751, almost two seconds clear of the next car. This was a driver racing the category for the first time, against GT specialists.
