Button: Verstappen's Endurance Racing Won't Change F1 Stance

0:00It's March 28th. This is F1 News Today Team News powered by AI. Jensen Button says Max Verstappen's side gig in Endurance Racing won't shift his take on the new Formula One rules coming in 2026. Those regs split power 50-50 between combustion engines and electric motors, and Verstappen's been vocal about not loving the cars. He's squeezing in GT3 races around his F1 schedule, like last weekend's Nurburgring Langstrek and Siri event, the A-Dack Barbarossa Prius, his second, round this season. Button sees the appeal in motorsports variety, from endurance to multi-class stuff, calling it way more fun than something like tennis with just one. Style Verstappen loves jumping in different cars, overtaking non-stop, even handling super GTs in pouring rain at Fuji. That Nurburgring run started strong with the win alongside teammates, Daniel Junkadella and Jules Ganon, but they got disqualified later for going over. The tire limit?

1:01Button figures these outings give Verstappen a solid release from F1's stress, but only piling up victories on the track will flip his view on the. He's still chasing that fire.
