With the COVID-19 pandemic raging across the world, F1 and many other sports are on hiatus. So, some of the drivers have to turn to the virtual world to sate their adrenaline rush. Among them are McLaren driver Lando Norris and Red Bull star Max Verstappen, who often take part in sim races and stream on Twitch.
The two are part of the online racing team, Team Redline, but they are also fierce virtual rivals. There have been several occasions where the two have taken each other out of these races.
A notable example is the last event involving the duo, as they traded blows yet again and there was contact. Apparently, Lando Norris tried to overtake Verstappen around the outside of a corner. However, the Dutchman is not someone who will let an opponent by so easily and he will fight tooth and nail.

After some argument, they laughed it off and carried on racing. It is fortunate that in the virtual world, there is no championship to worry about, so the drivers don’t have to take things seriously.
In the meantime, Formula One is desperately trying to get the 2020 season underway. However, this is proving difficult because 9 races have already pulled out because of the ongoing crisis. The good news is that there are talks of the Austrian GP going ahead, albeit behind closed doors. However, there is a massive cloud of doubt behind the rest of the races, and there is a fear of the 2020 season not going ahead at all.
