Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso have discussed competing in the 24hrs of LeMans together. Verstappen has revealed some of the details of these talks, including how a potential third driver will be selected.
Get Lewis as the third just to watch the meltdown fans will have
Plus it would be a monster team. 12 f1 world championships on one team
Too much stress for lewis…
I think Norris might be a decent bet for the third teammate? Great friends with Max already and i believe he worked together with Fernando ages ago at the end of the McHonda period.
Regardless, this would be dynamite viewing and a massive win for the sport. With Aston finally deciding to enter their Valkyrie as well I guess I really should try getting into WEC for real.
Also raced the Daytona 24 with Alonso before/at the start of his F1 career
Oh right!
2024 is going to be a banner year in the top class, with a bunch of new cars, plus the new LMGT3 spec for the bottom class bringing in new manufacturers. And with 8 rounds now, you’ll have a terrible (great) time keeping up. And if you’re a week or so behind, just watch the full races online (youtube) for free.
And if you can’t get enough endurance racing, IMSA is shaping up to be a ton of fun next year too.
Pick Ocon as the third and Netflix will pay handsomely. 🍿
get Goatifi on
Good. I’m my opinion Le Mans is greater than F1. More cars, more variety, more drivers, better racing, amazing track, tell Motorsport.
If I was a racing driver of any type I’d definitely aim to always race Le Mans every year. Also Mille Miglia if it’s still going.
F1 drivers of the distant past often raced in many outside races. It was common.

Well the number of races and hence the demands f1 places on drivers was also lower. With 24 races being planned, I can’t see much opportunities for drivers to race in other series even if they want to.
Definitely agree. There isn’t much time for that now, but as drivers Le Mans must be a dream for them.
I’ve never watched LeMans. I’d watch this LeMans.
Do it!
Together with LH that would be the absolute dreamteam!
