Verstappen: ''It was a lot of fun, but on grass there's no grip in this game''

Lando Norris and Max Verstappen had a lot of fun during the simraces on the simulation of iRacing and after the race that was far from over. Despite a crash between the two of them, they still had a lot of fun.
"Yeah, race one didn't quite go according to plan. Some contact here and there at the start and none of that was my fault of course'', Norris starts laughing halfway. ''Race two was of course a lot of fun to fight for victory with Max, but it could have taken more laps'', said Norris, who was tapped off the track in the penultimate lap but one by Verstappen.
Verstappen versus Norris
The presenters lost control for a moment when they asked Verstappen about his first race the Dutchman won. Norris says in the background that the first race was too easy and that Verstappen came under pressure because he saw that Lando was riding behind him. ''I didn't even see you that far behind me'', said Verstappen.
''In race two we kept fighting and that's why Kelvin was getting closer and closer. It was fun, but when I got on the grass it was over. In iRacing the grip disappears completely when you hit the grass. It was still fun tonight and a very competitive field'', the Red Bull Racing driver concludes.
