There’s hardly any doubt over Max Verstappen’s ability as an outstanding driver. But how good is he with things off track? Well, he’s equally brilliant when it comes to anything related to racing. Whether real or virtual, Verstappen is the man, as his recent antics made fans lose their mind.
Verstappen and his friends Gianni Vecchio, Chris Lulham, Diogo Pinto, and Enzo Bonito often go racing in the simulator. They all represent Team Redline, and the Dutch pilot does it under his banner Verstappen.com Racing.

As F1 is going through an uncalled break, the Red Bull star used this opportunity to go to sim racing. As the stream began, soon after, the Redline Boys started the GT class racing, and the fans got to see the class of the two-time F1 world champion.
A video released by Max Verstappen’s fan page said the Dutch pilot started the race from P17. However, the video showed how he went from the bottom tier start to P2 within just one lap. Furthermore, he managed to clinch the win from his friends in the end.
How did the fans react?
The reactions coming from the fans were massive. They praised and recognized the unreal talent of Max Verstappen, who’s also a big-time game enthusiast. Given below are some of the reactions taken from the video’s comment section on Instagram:
“Champ for a reason. He’s a GOD.”
“I mean he is Super Max, wht do you expect?”
“Man’s doing last to first challenges for fun nowadays.”
“It’s just unsettling at this point how good he is.”
“I didn’t expect anything less.”
“A standard day for Max.”
“Max doing Max things.”
“Max being Max and we just love seeing it.”
Verstappen revealed his favorite time pass
There’s a reason why the Dutchman is so good at what he does. Be it F1 or Sim Racing. He works like a perfectionist. Why perfectionist? Well, the Red Bull star himself said what he does to keep himself ahead of everyone else.
In a recent interview with David Coulthard, the former Toro Rosso man shared that he jumps on Sim Race whenever he gets free time. He tests himself against the best sim drivers, spends time on set-up, and learns different racing techniques to improvise them in real life.
The Dutchman is a big-time simulation racing enthusiast. Whenever he gets time and is away from the paddock, one would find the 25-year-old on his sim. His obsession with sim racing went too much that rumors came out that he would install sim racing in his private jet!
