Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen is a keen sim racer who regularly competes in events - here is all to know about his non-F1 passion
Verstappen shocked the F1 paddock when he dovetailed the Imola Grand Prix with a Nurburgring 24 Hours sim race - both of which he won. The Red Bull driver claimed the chequered flag at Imola just 15 minutes after Verstappen’s co-driver Chris Lulham sealed his team’s victory at the Nordschleife on iRacing, the simulator platform the Nurburgring 24 Hours took place on.
Redline had dropped back two laps when Verstappen rejoined, so the team opted to retire. But the event had already suffered two red flags because of technical issues, with the Le Mans Virtual Series citing streamers accidentally sharing the servers’ Internet Protocol address. Verstappen was furious nonetheless, launching an attack on the event organisers and rFactor 2, which was the video game platform.
