It takes a certain kind of resolve to become a Formula 1 champion. Max Verstappen has showcased that resolve time and again over the past few seasons. However, Verstappen’s ultra-competitiveness is not limited to Formula 1 and is a defining characteristic of his life. How do we know that? Let us tell you about his reaction to his disconnection from the 24 hours Le Mans.

The two-time world champion was spending his F1 off-season racing in the 24 Le Mans from the comfort of his home. Let us elaborate. We are talking about the virtual Le Mans championship. The Dutchman had been preparing for it for months. However, Verstappen had to retire his car from a leading position because of a technical glitch.

Verstappen showcased his competitiveness with a  rant posted on Reddit after the frustrating outcome. He said, “They call it amazingly bad luck. Well, this is just incompetence. They can’t even control their own game. This is already the third time this has happened to me now that get kicked off the game while doing this race. Also, the last time I’m ever participating.”

“What’s the point? You prepare five months to prepare for this championship. You lead the championship, you try to win this race which you prepare for two months and they handle it like this. Honestly, it’s a joke, you cannot call this an event. A clown show.” 

“Well, I’m going to uninstall the game. And I hope everyone uninstalls the game,” Verstappen frustratingly added.
