Max Verstappen has once again donned the pseudonym 'Franz Hermann' at a test outing from Spa-Francorchamps. Having secured second place at the Canadian Grand Prix last weekend, Verstappen returned to Europe where he travelled to the iconic Spa track, the long-time host of the Belgian Grand Prix. The circuit is also hosting the 24 Hours of Spa in under two weeks. It is well known that Verstappen has an interest in partaking in endurance racing after he brings his F1 career to a close. In a bid to gather further experience in endurance machinery, Verstappen appeared at the Nordschleife track last month, where he sought to carry out a test without the media spotlight. However, his disguise was quickly seen through, drawing great attention to the four-time F1 champion. The 27-year-old has now backed up his Nordschleife appearance with a run at Spa, driving an Aston Martin GT3 car. Verstappen will return to the F1 cockpit at the end of June at the Austrian Grand Prix, the home race weekend for Red Bull.
