Yesterday saw Max Verstsappen and Lando Norris – ‘F1’s brightest young things’ – compete together as team mates for the iRacing sim-race of the Bathurst 12hrs.
Unfortunately, they crashed out early but decided to race each other with some fellow sim-racers. Having qualified on the front row with Max Verstappen on pole, Lando Norris gets the jump on the Dutchman, beating him into T1.
Qualifying for this impromptu race is below.
The unique aspect of this footage is the fact that we see Formula 1 drivers relaxed, without their corporate faces on. Swearing, banter and jovial antics are the order of the day.
Enjoy.
