💨 Abstract

Max Verstappen faced criticism after secretly racing at the dangerously challenging Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit under the name Franz Hermann. Former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher criticized his decision, citing the track's deadly history and high speeds. Verstappen, who celebrated becoming a father recently, is now focusing on the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, aiming to close the 32-point gap to championship leader Oscar Piastri.
