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

@TheKlyn10 Месяц 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.

@TroubledTrooper 20 часов назад

I mean there's probably more similarities than if he were to compete in other esports.

@D3Vlicious Месяц назад

Sim Racing gear is so expensive that Max has to race in Formula 1 to pay for his rig.

@DevinEMILE Месяц назад

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.

@kivori3438 Месяц назад

And that is really cool, it’s much easier to get a full station than a kart if you really want to do it. Go 2k (4k if you buy pc too) against much more for a good kart

@mafyfou Месяц 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 Месяц 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.... Ya... must be really shitty to be considered one of the fastest drivers in the world and safe enough to be invited into a league of other top drivers... damn what a sad fate he's suffering......

@@penapvp2230 I mean sure they do, it's a great way to practice while not actually being at the track, but as we saw in the video Max can have "gamer rage moments" youd never see Max ramming someone full speed irl because a sim isnt real, in other words, it's a fake version of what real life racing is.

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
