VERTSAPPEN VENTS AFTER UNLUCKY SERVER CRASHES AT VIRTUAL LE MANS 24 HOUR RACE

If you haven’t heard yet, the 2 time reigning Formula 1 World Champion Max Verstappen had a public outburst after having some really bad luck at the Virtual Le Mans 24 Hour Race.

18 hours into the race, Max and his team were leading the race when some technical glitches struck. The race was red flagged due to what the organizers claimed to be a security breach causing server instability which led to Max and several other drivers being disconnected from the race.

Max eventually reconnected to the server and he was several laps behind. This obviously caused him to angrily vent, but instead of his usual venting over the team radio, it was to his Twitch stream where he urged other sim racers to join him in uninstalling the game.

I’ve taken one for the team and filtered through F1 twitter to find this video posted by @kirethk which does a fantastic

I’ve seen a lot of toxic comments out there on Max’s behaviour on the way he handled this.

But to be honest, I think he has the right to be frustrated at the way this supposedly prestigious event was handled.
Him and his team spent 18 hours giving it their all in this race.

If anything I’m impressed his venting session was so calm and just blatantly honest.

Aside from the fame of winning the Virtual Le Mans 24 Hour Race, they also missed out on the quarter of a million dollar prize money that was up for grabs.
What do you guys think about this? Don’t be like F1 Twitter, and instead, try to be respectful to one another as you post your thoughts below.

All in all, it’s a big fat L for the event and I don’t think we should be too harsh on the Dutchman for reacting to the poor hand he was dealt.
