Max Verstappen is known for his extensive use of simulators, which is a very important part of his preparation. However, he is also known to often lose his mind in virtual races and do things that he would never do on a real race track.
Jaden Munoz, a Williams iRacing Academy driver, fell victim to this, but he was not intimidated by his big-name opponent and ruthlessly dealt with him. To add to the background of the story, Verstappen had already had trouble in Daytona before this race, which was simulated on the Road America racetrack, but that was still swallowed up by the simulator environment at the time. This one is no longer... Four-time world champion Verstappen and Munoz collided right at the first corner, and the Dutchman was so offended by this that he waited for Munoz at the back of the field to attack him.
"Now look how stupid he is. He'll never change. I knew he would do this. You're like this because you've had everything on a platter your whole life, Max. You're a spoiled brat who would be nothing without his father. No one would know you, you f*cking idiot..." Munoz fumed, using very strong words.
What do you think, is the outcry justified?
