Max Verstappen has once again shown that his racing ambitions stretch far beyond the boundaries of Formula 1, with the world champion recently hinting at a possible future drive in Australian Supercars. The Dutch star’s comments have instantly ignited excitement among motorsport fans, particularly with the mere mention of Bathurst, one of the most iconic circuits in global racing.
Speaking casually about his experiences outside Formula 1, Max Verstappen revealed that he has already sampled a Supercar and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. While he stopped short of confirming any competitive appearance, his remark suggesting “maybe Bathurst” was enough to set speculation racing. For followers of the Supercars Championship, even the possibility of Verstappen lining up on the Mount Panorama grid would be a landmark moment.
The Bathurst 1000 holds a special place in touring car racing, demanding a unique blend of precision, bravery and endurance. Unlike the highly refined and aerodynamic machines of Formula 1, Supercars are heavier, more physical to drive and race on challenging circuits that punish even the smallest mistakes. Verstappen’s interest suggests a genuine curiosity to test himself in one of motorsport’s toughest environments, rather than a simple promotional cameo.
There is also a strong manufacturer angle to the story. Verstappen’s long standing association with Red Bull Racing and its partnership ties with Ford have fueled talk that any Supercars outing could involve a Ford Mustang. A run in a Gen3 Mustang Supercar would not only suit the narrative but also add extra intrigue for fans who enjoy cross discipline rivalries and brand battles.
While no official plans or timelines have been announced, Verstappen’s openness to racing beyond Formula 1 aligns with his growing reputation as a driver who simply loves to race. From sim racing to GT machinery and now potential Supercars action, he continues to show that his competitive fire extends far beyond the Grand Prix paddock.
