Verstappen wants to contest Le Mans with father Jos

LE CASTELLET, France -- Max Verstappen would like to contest the Le Mans 24 Hours alongside his father Jos in an Aston Martin Valkyrie one day in the future.

Aston Martin has committed its new hypercar, designed by F1 legend Adrian Newey, into the famous endurance race in 2021 following the change in regulations for the World Endurance Championship. Those rules will come into effect for the 2020/21 season and allow manufacturers to race cars derived from road-going hypercars.

Aston Martin is currently Red Bull's title partner, meaning there would be few complications for Verstappen to take part in the race if there was no clash with his F1 commitments.
