Can you guess when Verstappen first steered an F1 sim? He reveals it himself!

Verstappen is dedicated sim racer and has a rather effective approach to make sure it remains a part of his life. ‘’I like to race myself besides F1. Whenever I can combine all those things together, I mean, there are 24 hours in a day, so  if you can spend a few hours in the sim it works out.''

Verstappen is thus very active on the simulator, but will he ever buy a simulator for Lily? ‘’It's definitely much cheaper than racing in real life, so I have to think about that,’’ Verstappen answers. The Dutchman drives in his simulator using a pink steering wheel, something that reveals a 'girl dad' aspect of him. ‘’I got and I was like 'that has to go on the simulator now.'"

Lily will undoubtedly be exposed to her father's hobby early on, but when did the world champion first come into contact with a racing car? ‘’I remember I was like 3 or 4 years old when my dad (Jos Verstappen, ed.) was still racing in F1 remember that I saw this little mock-up cockpit. "
