Max Verstappen wins the (virtual) eight hours of Silverstone!

Unlike Fernando Alonso, Max Verstappen doesn't have the time to compete in the real WEC but competed in the virtual version instead.

The Dutchman completed the eight hours of Silverstone last night and won the virtual event. Perhaps a little morale booster for his 2019 Formula 1 season?!?

Verstappen has shown a keen interest in gaming recently. This time he was together with Rudy van Buren (sim racer for McLaren) as they raced to victory. During his time in the simulator, he's also raced in the twelve-hour race at Sebring, but missed out on the race win.

Well done to @RvBuren & @Max33Verstappen supported on pit wall by the awesome @Racer_D winning the @rf2VEC @SilverstoneUK 8 hours!!
