Juha Miettinen, a 66-year-old veteran endurance driver, was killed in a seven-car accident during a race at Nurburgring, Germany, on Saturday. The incident occurred just 25 minutes into the race, which was part of the Nurburgring Langstrecken Series (NLS) qualifiers for an upcoming 24-hour race. Four-time Formula One champion Max Verstappen was not on the course at the time of the accident and is set to participate in the race on Sunday. The organizers announced that the event would be suspended following the accident, during which six other drivers were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Despite the quick response from emergency medical personnel, Miettinen was pronounced dead at the course medical center. Verstappen expressed his shock on social media, highlighting the dangers of motorsport, while the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) extended its condolences to Miettinen's family. The race is scheduled to continue on Sunday, with a moment of silence planned to honor Miettinen.
