has branded the Virtual Le Mans 24 Hour race a “clown show” after server trouble cost him a likely win.
The Dutchman, who would have been several laps down had he rejoined following the issues, vented his anger on his Twitch stream and urged other sim racers to “uninstall the game”.“They call it amazingly bad luck, well this is just incompetence,” said Verstappen. “This is also the last time ever because what’s the point? You prepare for five months to try and win this Championship, you are leading the Championship, you try to win this race which you have prepared for two months and they handle it like this.“That’s why it’s better to retire the car because driving around in P15 for six hours makes no sense for everyone. It’s a disgrace with all the effort we have put in as a team.
