The game finishes for Norris in tears of laughter, for Verstappen the game finishes in the walls.
Lando Norris partook in the virtual Australian Grand Prix a couple of days back. The youthful Brit was already busy yesterday at the racing simulation game iRacing. Norris frequently races against or with Max Verstappen on iRacing. Right now, two Formula 1 drivers went up against one another during the Pro Fun Cup.
The video shows how Verstappen leads during the first heat of the Pro Fun Cup. Norris follows the Dutchman and jumps into the slipstream. At that point things turn out badly, Norris taps Verstappen, where the Dutchman loses control and winds up in the wall. Norris drives on and assumes control over the lead. The McLaren driver can’t contain his tears of laughter after the occurrence.
Norris let out a boisterous ‘Oh!’. He looked stunned for a couple of moments before his face lit up with a grin. He giggled about it: ‘I’m crying!’ and was at first hit with a 55-second punishment. However, this was withdrawn after the recording was surveyed. Some state it was a lag/net code issue.
Lando Norris’ vehicle lagged into Max Verstappen’s back guard, with just Verstappen’s vehicle enlisting the effect and enduring the results. This would clarify the replays and why the punishment was withdrawn.
