Soon after, he returned to live streaming which took a back seat during the F1 season. This time, however, the 24-year-old played Fortnite for the first time in his streaming career.

Sadly, in his latest stream, he revealed that he was off for a long vacation that would include multiple destinations. With that, to the surprise of many, he also called it quits on his streaming career.
