This weekend, Max Verstappen will return to the Nordschleife for his latest taste of the German circuit.
The event will see Verstappen partake in a qualifying event for the upcoming 24 Hours of Nurburgring, which takes place next month.
Verstappen has already had one race at the venue this year, having won NLS2 in March before his team was disqualified due to a tyre-related infringement.
For the upcoming qualifying weekend, organisers have already announced changes to the schedule.
Verstappen will already have a chance to test between 12:15 and 14:45 local time on Friday, April 17.
However, the official action begins on Saturday, April 18. Between 08:30 and 10:00, the starting grid for the first race will be determined by qualifying, followed by the four-hour race at 17:30.
On Sunday, April 19, the schedule looks different, as between 08:15 and 09:45 the qualifying practice takes place, after which the best drivers move on to the so-called Top Qualifying, which will settle the battle for pole.
At 13:00, the second race starts, which ends at 17:00.
