It's a good thing that Lando Norris and Max Verstappen are good friends and can laugh at a mistake, because after the previous incident during the Pro Fun Cup, it was now Verstappen who took Norris in a crash and deprived him of a victory.

Verstappen versus Norris

During the online race on in the simulation of iRacing, Verstappen already had the first race to his name, where Norris had fallen off the podium. In the second race, the two Formula 1 drivers took the lead together and changed heads several times. In the penultimate lap, however, that went wrong.

Verstappen tried a daring overtaking action in which the Dutchman passed Norris and the meanwhile connected Kelvin van der Linde. The action succeeded, but Verstappen shot through and came on the kerb. Here Verstappen lost control, took Norris with him in his spin and Van der Linde was able to drive on to his victory.
