LIVE | Follow Verstappen in the virtual 500 miles of Sebring
Max Verstappen will be in action today at the 500 miles of Sebring. Seated in his simulator, the two-time world champion will compete on behalf of Team Redline in the penultimate race of the 2022 Le Mans Virtual Series.
Formula 1 may be in its winter break, but that does not mean that drivers will not be racing all winter. Verstappen is already back in action this weekend and he will do so not in a real car, but in the simulator.
