马克斯·维斯塔潘本周末将投身于他的GT3副业。他并非维斯塔潘车队的常规车手，但本周末他将作为一位经验相当丰富的替补出战。他将驾驶3号梅赛德斯-AMG GT3 EVO赛车，与克里斯·卢勒姆和本·巴尼科特并肩作战。但这两位才华横溢的先生是谁？拥有61辆赛车的参赛阵容是否应该感到担忧？
如果你关注维斯塔潘在F1之外的赛车活动，你很可能会认出卢勒姆。他在2026年一直是维斯塔潘赛车的常客。他来自模拟赛车世界，在四届冠军本人的支持下，跳入了现实世界的GT赛车。他和这位红牛车手有着极佳的默契和深厚的合作历史。相比其他新加入者，他有一个领先优势：他已经知道车队是如何运作的。
巴尼科特拥有非常辉煌的赛车历史。这位出生于切斯特菲尔德的英格兰人是雷克萨斯厂队车手。他在IMSA比赛中为瓦瑟·沙利文驾驶14号雷克萨斯RC F GT3赛车。
在迈凯伦厂队车手计划度过四年后，他于2022年转投雷克萨斯，并立即展现出速度。他在2022年伊始便驾驶迈凯伦赢得亚洲勒芒系列赛GT冠军，随后在加盟雷克萨斯的首个赛季赢得小勒芒。之后，他与杰克·霍克斯沃思搭档，赢得2023年IMSA GTD Pro冠军。2024年，他又在赛百灵赢得GTD Pro胜利。
他的GT实力也很强。巴尼科特在2021年曾两次夺得GT世界挑战赛欧洲站杆位，因此本周末他的驾驶表现备受期待。

Max Verstappen’s Portimao team-mates: who are Chris Lulham and Ben Barnicoat?
The trio will share a Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO this weekend
#31 Emil Fray Racing Ferrari 296 GT3: Max Verstappen, Christopher Lulham
Max Verstappen is embedding himself in his GT3 side hustle this weekend. He's not a regular in the Verstappen Racing team, but he'll be taking over this weekend as a rather well-experienced reserve. He will be driving the No. 3 Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO alongside Chris Lulham and Ben Barnicoat. But who are these two talented gentlemen? And should the 61-car field be worried?
You will likely recognise Lulham if you follow Verstappen's racing outside Formula 1. He has been a regular in Verstappen Racing cars in 2026. He comes from the sim racing world, having made the jump into real-world GT machinery with support from the four-time champion himself. He and the Red Bull driver have great chemistry and a strong history. He has a head start on the other newcomer here: he already knows how the team operates.
Barnicoat has a really strong history of racing. The Chesterfield-born Englishman is a Lexus factory driver. He races the #14 Lexus RC F GT3 for Vasser Sullivan in IMSA competition.
After spending four years with McLaren's factory driver programme, he moved to Lexus in 2022 and was immediately on the pace. He started 2022 by winning the Asian Le Mans Series GT title in a McLaren, then won Petit Le Mans in his first season with Lexus. He then won the 2023 IMSA GTD Pro title paired with Jack Hawksworth. A Sebring GTD Pro win followed in 2024.
He's got strong GT chops, too. Barnicoat took two GT World Challenge Europe pole positions back in 2021, so there's plenty of excitement around his driving this weekend.

Friday's qualifying will start at 5.55pm local time. Each of the three drivers sets a lap in their own session, and the grid is decided by the average of the three.
The race starts on Saturday 17 October at 5pm local time.
