The Verstappen Racing car is run by Winward Racing and the lineup is banger. Aside from Max Verstappen himself:

Jules Gounon was part of last year’s Alpine WEC Hypercar lineup where he ended up on the podium twice.

Daniel Juncadella was a Chevrolet GT3 racer last year, achieving P2 at Daytona, and a win at the 2025 Qatar 1812km.

They’re definitively among the favorites for the win.
