两位赛车运动中最著名的车手本周末即将共享发车格，而且他们都对比赛中相遇非常警惕。马克斯·维斯塔潘本周末在波尔蒂芒的赛季收官战中完成GT世界挑战赛欧洲杯首秀，但他将要竞争的60多辆赛车中，有一辆将由MotoGP传奇瓦伦蒂诺·罗西驾驶。这位九届摩托车世界冠军已与意大利天空体育讨论了他对与F1最伟大车手之一对决的感受。
“这将会非常精彩。我的意思是，这会是个大麻烦，因为他肯定会快得惊人，但这也会非常棒，”他说。
“我得说，我从没想过自己会朝着马克斯·维斯塔潘的方向比赛。所以这很棒，有他在那里对每个人来说都会很棒，我希望我能有机会跟在他后面，看看他是怎么开车的。”
这是一个清楚知道自己面对的是什么，并且很兴奋能把它当作学习机会的人。
维斯塔潘将驾驶维斯塔潘车队的3号梅赛德斯-AMG GT3 EVO赛车。他和他的搭档车手克里斯·卢勒姆以及雷克萨斯厂队车手本·巴尼科特将参加最高级别的Pro组。他将在红牛车队于新加坡和马来西亚连续两场获胜后抵达赛道。
罗西将代表WRT车队参加Pro组别，驾驶一辆宝马M4 GT3 EVO，队友是尼尔·维哈根和马克斯·赫塞。他会使用自己惯用的46号。这辆车属于同一组别，所以他们在激烈驾驶时很可能会相遇。
“是的，我希望我能见到他，”维斯塔潘说。“他是个非常酷的人，所以我希望能和他叙叙旧。我的意思是，这很好，但我不希望在比赛中见到他，所以这通常是个好兆头。
“其实我希望谁都见不到，就自己在前面跑，做好自己的工作。但你永远不知道会发生什么。发车区竞争超级激烈，所以我只是期待这个挑战。
“这和一级方程式非常不同，但我喜欢。我的意思是，今年我在纽博格林北环赛道已经第一次体验过了，而波尔蒂芒是一条开起来非常酷的赛道。所以我会好好享受，当然，作为一支车队，我们会尽力争取一个好成绩。”
这场三小时的比赛将于10月17日星期六举行，地点是4.692公里（2.9英里）的阿尔加维赛道，该赛道曾在2020年和2021年举办过葡萄牙大奖赛。

Valentino Rossi wary of Max Verstappen threat at Portimao: "Big problem"
The MotoGP legend will race Verstappen in the top Pro class at the Algarve circuit
For Red Bull fans. Keeping watch on Red Bull Racing, with F1 news, driver updates, technical insight and race analysis from Milton Keynes.
Two of motorsport's biggest drivers are about to share a grid this weekend, and they're both very wary of meeting each other during the race. Max Verstappen makes his GT World Challenge Europe debut at the Portimao season finale this weekend, but one of the 60-odd cars he will be racing will be driven by MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi. The nine-time motorcycle world champion has discussed with Sky Sport Italy how he feels about going up against the one of Formula 1's greatest drivers.
"It's going to be amazing. I mean, it will be a big problem because he’s sure to be incredibly fast, but it will be fantastic," he said.
"I have to say, I never imagined I’d be racing towards Max Verstappen. So it’s great, it’ll be great for everyone to have him there, and I hope I get the chance to follow him and see how he drives."
That is a man who knows exactly what he's up against, and is excited to use it as a learning moment.
Verstappen will be driving the #3 Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO for Verstappen Racing. He and his co-drivers Chris Lulham and Lexus factory driver Ben Barnicoat will be running in the top Pro class. He'll arrive at the track following two consecutive wins with Red Bull in Singapore and Malaysia.
Rossi will be driving a BMW M4 GT3 EVO in the Pro class with Team WRT alongside Neil Verhagen and Max Hesse. He'll be using his usual #46. This car is in the same category, so it's likely they will indeed meet each other while driving in anger.
"Yeah, I hope I get to see him," Verstappen said. "He’s a very cool guy, so I hope to catch up with him. I mean, it’s nice, but I do not hope to see him in the race, so that’s normally a good sign.
"I actually hope to see no one, to be just up front and do a good job. But you never know. The grid is super competitive, so I’m just looking forward to the challenge.
"It’s very different to Formula 1, but I love it. I mean, I had my first taste already this year at the Nordschleife, and Portimao is a very cool track to drive. So I’m just going to enjoy it and, of course, as a team, we’ll try to do the best we can to get a good result out of it."
The three-hour race takes place Saturday, 17 October, on the 4.692 km (2.9 miles) Algarve circuit that hosted the Portuguese Grand Prix in 2020 and 2021.
