Verstappen catches up on debut in a unique way
Max Verstappen made his debut in the online Supercars championship on Wednesday. In the Red Bull-sized car of Team Holden, Verstappen came second three times during his debut and, as usual, took care of the necessary action. This overtaking action can be booked as one of the most beautiful of this championship.

He shot again in the wall near the castle, as he did in the actual version in 2019. Leclerc decided to make a video to compare the two moments.
