'It's going to be ugly, just give it a sec. Just wait, just wait, here we go.' F1 Verstappen Formula1
The two-time F1 World Champion frequently spends his downtime taking part in online sim racing events and put his name down for the iRacing-hosted Golden Toast GP – a three-hour event using GT3 cars.
Verstappen took pole position for the race, but was involved in a dramatic incident near half-distance that resulted in the Dutch driver seeing red.With an hour and 50 minutes left in the race, Verstappen was in a gaggle of cars as they approached the La Source hairpin. Under braking, Verstappen was clouted from behind by German racer Sven-Ole Haase, resulting in Verstappen going slightly too deep and colliding with Team Redline team-mate Diogo Pinto – both spun out as a result.
But the drama didn’t end there, as Verstappen quickly gathered himself back up and returning to racing speed behind the same group of cars as they powered through Eau Rouge, Raidillon, and along the Kemmel Straight. Approaching Les Combes, it was apparent Verstappen had something planned as he stormed through the escape area without having made any attempt at making the corners.
“Max Verstappen, I think, is making a statement,” said the official livestream commentator as he watched Verstappen cut the track.PlanetF1.com recommends
