It's the last free weekend before the 2021 F1 season officially begins and Max Verstappen is back in his home simulator. For team Redline he competes in the BMW SIM GT Cup. This weekend the third round will take place at the Silverstone circuit.

Verstappen acts like a magnet on opponents

Verstappen has had no luck in this championship so far. Two weeks ago at Suzuka, he was thrown off track while overtaking for the lead and this year's race has not started well for him either.

Verstappen qualified in fourth place and held that position for the first ten minutes of the race. Ayhancan Guven, the Turkish driver who competes in the Porsche Supercup in the real world, was too late in his attempt to overtake in the hairpin, so Verstappen had to start the race again.
