Four-time Formula 1 World Champion Verstappen is a talented sim racer, as is well known by now. At any moment he's not active in Formula 1, he's somewhere in a simulator. Verstappen did just that last Friday, shortly after the second free practice for the
British Grand Prix. The footage has been shared online.
What was notable about this session? Verstappen drove his virtual laps in - yes - a Mercedes F1 car.
The Dutchman must have also seen the humour in that. However, it's important to add a small disclaimer here. In this iRacing game, the Mercedes car was the only recent F1 car the Dutchman could use.
In the coming weeks, it will become clear where Verstappen's future lies. Various theories are circulating,
for example, this one.
