Whether you’re a pro gamer, a streamer, or even just a normal silver scrub, it’s important to have boundaries between your work and the rest of your life.
But what if your job was your life? And what if the way you had fun was by doing a fake version of your job?
Meet three-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen, who isn’t satisfied with only leaving the world’s best in the dust on the physical track, he needs to destroy you on the digital one, too.
But how did we get here? Why is Verstappen so addicted to sim racing if he dominates what many consider the ultimate version of the real thing? Could it be that it actually does help him stay practiced?
And should we really be surprised that such an avid gamer has the occasional…heated gamer moment?

If you guys wanna cover a really wholesome gamer turned racer then take a look at jimmy broadbent. Seriously one of the most inspiring gaming stories for me, dude moved into a shed in his parents' garden because he was otherwise homeless, struggled with mental health for a long time, then started sim racing and now he's a real life race winner, champion, and races real cars around the Nordschleife (a track he always loved in the sim). Also just an all around great guy, super humble and always supportive

@caaarlos 3 месяца назад

@@Eis_ in reality to correct momentum on a car, sometimes understeer but specially oversteer on such a level, even if you rely on G force feelings our senses are too slow to process. You need to be already in tune with the car and know it's behaviour to a point where you kind of "guess by instinct" where the car would snap on you. If you try to go with a reactive mind, waiting for senses to kick in, trying to process all that through the brain and circle back, the delay is too long to regain control of the car. You need to be pre-emptively on edge looking for the oversteer in certain moments. This is what I've learned.

@TheKlyn10 4 месяца назад

It's not just that he SIM races, it's that he's in the top players in SIM racing. Contrary to what most might think, real racing and SIM racing isn't easily transferable. As in if you're good at real racing, it doesn't really mean that you'll be good at SIM racing. There are other real racers who have tried SIM, and vice versa, but he's the only one who is one of the best on both.

Sven himself is a dirty driver. Has a reputation if just taking people out. He took max out and max repaid the favor. The 24 hour event was just dumb on the hosts part. They kept getting Ddos as the ip and server either got leaked or was able to be seen rather easily. Multiple times max and the lobby has people crashing out. Which led to them losing minutes of time. Which in racing is massive.

@mafyfou 4 месяца назад

I think not a lot of people know what actually are the conditions inside a F1 car while driving, it's like 60°C for 2 hours straight, you take multiple G's every turn, so i think if Max likes Sim Racing, it's because it's surely way more bearable than a real F1 race Also, you only have 1 race every week, in sim racing, he can race all the time

@beauchang4741 4 месяца назад

I'm pretty sure it's more so that he just loves to race cars.... if he didn't want to race in F1, he coulda just used his dad's rep and his skill for racing on a pro esports racing team to make a living....

I’ve always interpreted his sun racing as ‘scratching an itch’, dude loves racing, he can only get in a car and do so every once and again when f1 is racing bc he physically can’t practice in an f1 car due to the regulation within the sport, what to do in that time when he wants to race? Do the next best thing, which just so happens to also be really similar to the real thing. Growing up I loved sports.. and I bought and played sports games bc I was so engrossed and ofc couldn’t compete 11v11 soccer/football matches whenever I wanted

@Jude74 2 месяца назад

All F1 teams have racings sims. They have to based on testing limitations. The F in F1 one stands for formula. Part of that formula is limitations on how much time drivers can spend testing the vehicles. So often they only get to drive their cars during race weekends. The only way they can learn a new track or learn a new mode is via the Sim. Moreover the only way they can train their drivers when they make changes to the systems and the steering wheel is the sim. So all of them are sim racing. Several of them have started doing it in the competitive world, but all of them do it is part of their professional training. Lewis Hamilton admits that he doesn’t like to do it. But when he moves to Ferrari, he’s not gonna have a choice.
