Verstappen, shot at Mercedes after the sports accident: “I’ll tell Masi …”

The reigning champion Max Verstappen continues to be talked about even in the break period for the Formula 1 drivers. While teams and engineers are studying how to be in top form in March, with regulations and cars all to be explored for next season, the Dutchman is relaxing and training at the same time thanks to his intense export activity. Only a few days ago he took part in the 24 Hours of Virtual Le Mans, which saw him in the lead for a long time, only to crash due to a mistake in the corners.

But the most attentive observers did not miss a particularly funny episode starring Max Verstappen and what was seen as a dig at rival Lewis Hamilton. The world champion was training together with the Team Red Line, the esports team to which he belongs (and which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans with another driver). Between a chat and the other, he let slip a joke, while commenting on an accident that occurred to one of his team mates. The driver was actually thrown off the track during a race, as can be seen in the video reported by a fanpage on Facebook.

Verstappen jokes about Masi –

At that point, Verstappen – who until recently listened in silence – couldn’t resist and dropped one of his proverbial jokes straight to the point. “I’ll tell Michael Masi”, ironized the first Red Bull guide, doing what many have read as a reference to the many controversies related to the race director, guilty, according to Mercedes fans and Toto Wolff’s team, of having distorted the last F1 championship with some controversial decisions. In short, every opportunity is good to throw a dig at the opponents, but it is not the first time in which the world of Formula 1 and video games meet because of a joke from Jos’s son: fined during the last season, he joked. on the fact that, due to the fine, he would not have been able to purchase his beloved FIFA Points.
