Max Verstappen spent his downtime between Formula 1 races by entering, and winning, a 24-hour race around the virtual Nurburgring on Saturday and Sunday.
The Red Bull driver was partnered with Chris Lulham and Maximilian Benecke as he and the sim racers won in their BMW Team Redline car around the Nordschleife.
The race was streamed on Twitch and YouTube for fans to watch and Verstappen was almost taken out of the race early on when Andre Melchers of URANO eSports, who had just been overtaken by the Dutchman, spun into the first corner and almost careered into him as he tried to retake his position.
Inside Line: Why Max Verstappen is now my favourite driver

Before the shooting of the messenger begins, let me begin this piece by saying that it purely is an opinion piece about the journey of a Formula 1 fan – me – and not an official news piece to go all militant on me over.
It is no secret that Lewis Hamilton has been my favourite driver from the day his story came onto my radar years ago during his time in F3. There was a talent worth watching as I had done when a certain Ayrton Senna da Silva (before he opted for Senna) made his debut in Formula Ford all those years ago.
