Verstappen swiftly switches Red Bull Ring disaster for favourite hobby

Indeed, less than three hours after qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix, Max Verstappen is livestreaming with his sim racing team, Team Redline. This weekend, the 24 Hours of Spa is on the schedule.

The Dutchman, along with his colleagues from Team Redline, is watching the iconic race in Belgium. It seems a long debrief with his engineers after qualifying is not in the cards. Whether the Dutchman is still at the Red Bull Ring or already in his hotel is unclear. However, he has a professional gaming chair and a webcam at his disposal.

Verstappen.com Racing is also participating in the race at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. Thierry Vermeulen, Chris Lulham, and Harry King take turns driving the Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 EVO in the 24-hour race.

The qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix ended in disaster for Verstappen. A spin from Pierre Gasly forced the marshals to wave the yellow flag. As a result, the four-time world champion was unable to complete his last lap. Lando Norris dominantly took pole position. The Brit left the entire field behind by a staggering half a second.
