Yeah, I need to practice that a bit with
the traffic, the air watching in the

bus, because in our practice server I
had the LMDH in front, I spun off.

It's a hobby.

Yeah, it's just also really fun to do.
It's a little bit less physical, of

course, no G -forces, but it's still
very intense, and because I want to do

best I can, but it makes me also forget
about F1.

which is good because it just relaxes
your mind a lot.

Max, you are a three -time world
champion. That's absolutely

Very lovely.

People sometimes ask me, what do you do
in your free time? They expect you to be

something completely different to anyone
else.

Focus,

man. You damaged the car.

I think my life off track is just very
normal.

Nice and simple.

For me, gaming is also a hobby.

Of course, already racing so much with
F1, when you come home, it's a way for

also to relax a bit and that I don't
really need to think about anything else

life, I would say, at that point when
I'm in my simulator.

He was in it already when he was very
young, when he was three. He was on the

MotoGP games. And sometimes I said, Max,
no, you have to stop, go play outside

or whatever.

Because he was so focused.

He was always on the PlayStation.

But basically it hasn't changed, has it?

I like... games in general like i mean
some people love to be outside and be

more active outside of course i was
doing that with go -karting for me and

on quad bikes and stuff like that but
then sometimes in the evening when i

come home i would also like to game a
little bit of course initially on the

controller then steering wheel whole
setup and yeah it gets more and more

professional of course look from up
above though at the daytona

speedway a fantastic track it is
qualifying underway right now

I remember when I first told my friends
about it, they didn't believe me.

They were like, there's no way.

Maybe that's not him. It's someone under
his name and whatever.

But then I started to show them
pictures. This guy, that's him.

And then they started to believe it.

Max Verstappen and, of course, an
integral part of the furniture now at

point of Team Redline.

He's breathing racing in a way, like he
can jump in any car and he's fast.

What you cannot expect from a Formula
One driver is that he's so fully

to sim racing, but he wants it so much.

He had races where he did like 50 hours
of practice.

And then he did the race and he
completely destroyed the field. And

the best drivers in the world.

So we know that when he has the time to
prepare, he is actually the top three of

the world. And yeah, that's quite nice
to work with.

Early doors in this day is going to be
brutal.

It's not a game. It's the realest eSport
that you can get.

You sit in a sim, you have your pedals.

you have your wheel you have i mean it
doesn't get much more real than that

not a game people who say that they they
don't understand so they can just stay

away if you're not interested don't say
anything stupid about it like whatever

like it's okay have a drink

We are going to be joined today by a lot
of amazing people. We've got our

finalists from all over the world with
us today. And, of course, Max Verstappen

himself for one very important final.

I mean,

I barely have enough time to drive this
to implement even more games.

They see him like, ah, very famous, top,
top guy.

But when you are with them together,
it's like talking to a very good friend.

But am I using any DRS or battery shit?
DRS is here.

Where does it open? It's here, right?

No!

He comes in, first thing, spins. And he
was like, ah, guys, what do I need to

do? And we told him, and he didn't do
it. And we were like, come on.

No, no, no, no, no.

You have to cut, Max. You have to cut on
the inside. You have to go super tight

in. But don't go fully to the outside.
It's more like a V -shape. It's like a

center. It's a V -shape.

This little shit fight.

The thing is, he knows he's good. He
knows that. The reason for sometimes

we have to tell him twice or three times
is because he just expects that he has

a better idea in that moment.

Takes three, four tries, and then he's
like, ah, maybe you guys are right.

it depends, of course, on if it's the
right feedback or not, according to me.

Have to tell them in a very passionate
way.

No, no, no.

This is post -gear also, right? What?
Yeah, mate.

Never post.

Yeah.

Okay, well, once you guys make up your
mind, you tell me what to do.

Johnny did a 13 and I did a 10 -4, so, I
mean... Let's bring in

João Pianata from Brazil.

The competition was really cool. There
were people who, like, are really good

the game, actually.

It's hard to compete against people who
have, like, a thousand hours from their

own sort of game, and he has, like, 30
minutes.

Oh, my God, the atmosphere.

I mean,

it's impossible to beat. It's like you
put a rookie in an F1 car next to me.

This man is a three -time world
champion, Team Oracle Red Bull Racing

He loves his tomato soup. We can invite
and get a massive round of applause for

Matt. Big round of applause, please,
everybody.

Hello, mate. You all right? Good.

Welcome. Hi.

Yeah, no, it's great to be here.

I practiced a whole 20 minutes, so it's
going to be fantastic.

How does it kind of feel competing next
to Matt?

No, I'm just pretty much enjoying the
moment.

Of course, it was hard to believe that I
would be racing against Max. Now he's

right there sitting next to me. It still
feels like unreal to me.

Yeah, it's amazing.

It's amazing.

Well, sim racing is a niche world. It's
very small.

You have the bigger games like Gran
Turismo, which have a lot of users, but

competitions are a bit smaller. Then you
have F1 Esports, which is huge because

it gets pushed by F1 itself.

So it is big, but the sim racing part
itself, like iRacing, the thing that Max

does, for example, it's a very small
community, but the level there is so

incredibly high. The biggest sim race of
the year is on the cards.

Johnny, are you jumping in? Yeah.

Now, please.

Well, long race, stay out of trouble.

And most of them are also endurance
events, so you have to share the car

other people, which I also find quite
enjoyable.

The car you cannot change. You can only
add fuel and change tires during the

race. So everything needs to be
perfectly set before the race starts.

I can't see only setup from Max and
stuff.

Yeah, it's fine. It's fine. It's good.

People maybe sometimes don't really
understand that because they see us

the race and be like, ah, it looks so
easy for them.

They don't see what we do the three to
four weeks prior to that.

You never have enough time to test it
all to 100%, but you try to, of course,

get it to the closest perfection as
possible.

And we're ready to go for the biggest
sim race of the year.

It's the iRacing Daytona 24 hours. Extra
states on the line. Spots in the 2024

MZ Sports Global Championship.

And we'll see it crash before the GDPs
even get off the bench. Yeah, go with

him.

It's a mental top spot. You need to be
super, super unique in a mental capacity

to be able to win the biggest race in
gym racing.

Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy.

Try to be a bit closer, mate. I'm
trying.

I'm trying.

Even if it costs more, too, I don't give
a fuck.

I'm trying.

deliver a lap time and then on top of
that you need to do it under full

You sit there and your legs start
shaking and you feel like if I mess up

it's going to cost me 10k in prize money
and that's a horrible feeling and some

drivers can handle that much better than
the others.

When

you

do a mistake and it's on you

Worst feeling ever. I mean, the
disrespect anyway.

Danny, are you fucking blind?

Man, what should I do there?

No, it was a little bit of a dive, Max.
It was a bit of a dive.

It's okay, it's fine. Good control.

I'll be back in a second, guys. I'm
gonna make some food quickly.

Nico is there.

Fabio is there.

I drive myself for Team Redline.

Luckily, everyone is very good at their
job, you know, so you trust each other a

lot. But, yeah, it's not only just the
driving part, but then in the

there are more things to look at.

You go straight and on the right. Yeah,
on the right. Special entrance.

Yeah, here, right.

Okay.

I like to be involved, you know, and see
what...

What's happening day to day.

Ladies first, Raymond.

This is where some of the magic happens.
This is basically where I work every

day. And we have a few drivers here full
time.

Management, marketing.

One of my tasks is to make sure that we
have such an attractive team for the

drivers to make sure.

that they want to be in team redline and
i think that's our unique selling

position we have obviously max is a
great ambassador and he's a very

for everyone in the team so it's an
honor to work with a driver like max

going to be my new rig for in um In my
motorhome, once I'm ready.

Fuck me, this thing is massive.

It's really big.

You can't use it as a... You can't play
iRacing on this thing.

I met us during my F3 season.

I was driving for Van Amersfoort.

And you spend, of course, also time on
the simulator preparing.

And I think back in the day, my engineer
there, Rick, he said, like, we have

this really good simulator guy that, you
know, comes and practices. He's done it

before with other drivers for us.

In the beginning, it was mainly to drive
with me, to train. We did a lot of one

-on -one training in iRacing, where we
practiced overtaking on certain tracks.

iRacing had the latest -gen version of
Spa -Francorchamps.

But that was more for fun that we tried
it on the simulator with the F1 cars at

the time and see what kind of angles
that you could overtake. And of course,

also crashed in the Blanchimont, just
touching each other.

Normally, that's not a corner where you
would consider overtaking.

In a sim, it's a bit easier.

I think the Aponkas that we had on the
game, they were a bit slower in terms of

top speed and a bit more downforce.

So when I went for the move in real
life, I had more top speed and less

downforce. So the moment was the car was
moving around a little bit more.

I heard of that story, but that was
afterwards. But I knew when he was side

side that he would not give up.

But I didn't know at that time when it
happened that he already practiced that

on the sim.

Yeah, it was fun. At the time, I enjoyed
it a lot.

I don't think your dad enjoyed it. No,
no one. He came straight after the race.

He told me, never do that again.

I was like, what do you mean? I passed
him. It's okay.

Now I understand why.

At that point, I mean, I was 17 still. I
think I was like... I go for it.

Probably I wouldn't do it now.

No.

No, really?

No.

It's not worth the risk of doing it. I
would have easily maybe passed in the

next corner or whatever.

But at the time, I was like, I don't
care. I will show everyone that it's

possible.

And now as the other drivers find their
way into the mark, instantly up on the

jacks. And now with Steinbraten out, as
expected, it's Max Verstappen that gets

into the car. Yeah, Max Verstappen on
board the Team Redline Mercedes. Max

Verstappen gets on board the Mercedes.

There's a quick fade for you.

You're still thinking about the same
kind of things. How can I improve the

setup? You go through all these kind of
ranges.

You know, you're working on strategy.

You're defending, of course, overtaking.
You're doing start.

You know, there's a lot that, of course,
what you do in F1 that comes back. So I

always feel that when I jump back in an
F1 car, that it just feels normal.

You know what I would like right now?

A kebab.

That would be so good.

No.

Turkish kebab. Oh, so good.

Yeah.

I love it. I think it's honestly one of
my favorite.

Like if you would tell me you're on an
island, you have your last meal, what

would it be?

Turkish kebab. A kebab would definitely
be included.

Yep.

Last year, Max told us, so guys, you
want to come to Zandvoort?

Yeah, for them to be part of that F1
paddock and see everything, see the

teams, see the other drivers.

And we were like, we don't say no to
that.

Lovely,

lovely. Being what we saw at Zandvoort,
first of all, the car, insane.

really crazy like ah just seeing that
thing is i mean that was like that was

really the first time i got so close to
a car it's crazy

Come on, mate.

Put the gear in.

Jeez, that's not that hard.

What is the difference?

37 seconds.

But we're losing a lot of time now.

I mean, I think we should just slow
down.

Why? No, we do over the night. We just
get it back with the 33 lapper. It's

fine. We shouldn't give up five seconds.

It's stupid to give away five seconds.

Yeah, Max is right.

He's an inspiration for the guys because
what he does on the real track and what

he says, he actually lives up to it.

He likes to get into your head and the
effect he has on drivers is once he pops

up behind you in your mirrors, then you
know you're screwed.

I can't watch others.

I hate that. Even if it's him. I mean, I
know he is good. I know it.

But, there's the biggest but. Sorry,
Max, but it's true.

He sometimes takes a risk that others
wouldn't take.

And the main thing is...

While he's doing that, he can talk and
he can talk about doing groceries or

about his new monitor or new pedals. And
meanwhile, he's driving the best laps

out of everyone.

Are we beating for softs? No, no, we put
the hard.

Plan D.

Plan C or D?

What is plan C?

You need to have some balls to break at
the very, very last moment, because it's

your life.

They will reach a peak of 6G. Your eyes
are popping out almost.

It's ridiculous.

You cannot really simulate that.

Yes,

please.

Take me out, take me out.

Yes, yes, yes.

Good job, guys, good job.

My fucking legs.

Good job, Max.

Yeah, you too, mate. That was very good.

Yeah, let's keep going.

Yeah, what time do I need to be back?

4 .53.

Fuck.

Okay.

Okay, I'll be... I'm gonna go a little
nap then.

Enjoy it, Mitch. Alright, ciao.

Wait, hold on. It goes down the inside
of Mark here.

I love every slide we're getting from
Max, but still keeping it close. Wheel

wheel, two turns, two and three. Very
well done.

Mark's not backing off. He's closing
closer and closer to Max. He fakes the

outside. He goes down the inside.

Takes the inside line, and Max is going
to have to tuck back in.

And not bad.

I wouldn't say that I'm the outright
fastest, I think, in terms of qualifying

pace or whatever. But I don't think
that's realistic as well, because that's

their job.

That's what they have to do. That's
their profession.

Every day or every week, they have a
certain amount of hours that they drive.

And of course, I unfortunately cannot do
that because of F1 and other stuff, of

course, in life.

He called Max out.

into 14. He is feeling very good
himself.

If we can get a massive, massive round
of applause for Flores Vallejo for

winning the Hardwickon 5 -0 -0
international event.

What an absolute winner.

Matt Gustafson, P3, crossing the line
and right behind with an amazing battle,

Mark Antoine from Canada. Some
absolutely amazing racing from these

We've got one more driver.

Warm.

I

do

feel that people with a lot of talent in

the simulator world, most of them, they
don't really have an opportunity in real

life to show that, or at least that we
find out how good they actually are in

the real car.

So that is also, of course, something
that I'm looking at, how we can make

work in the future.

Well, hello there, everyone, once again.

Delighted to be back here to the end of
the iRacing Daytona 24 Hours, first of

our Grand Slams for 2024.

I'm sure plenty of people here, Peter,
are here to support Max Verstappen in

that number four redline car that just
continues to lead at the very front of

the field. But I'm sure there's plenty
of other people supporting other teams

and drivers. Good morning. Good morning.

I feel so tired.

I did four hours in a row, slept for 20
minutes, then went again.

Johnny's complaining about sleep.

Max is incredibly driven.

full results you're going front max or
what you're only allowed well i think as

far as if you go in front no guess that
i bumped you there's an unlimited amount

of rain he like keeps pushing us
insanely hard so i was expecting the

guy just to flat out go for it but i
need focus on the driving do not they

one car fight position and then
obviously when max talks in a firm way,

everyone listens, and then everyone is
impressed.

I

think,

you know, if he could raise as he
talks... I think he would win by one lap

of everyone else.

My God, mate. There's nothing to me.

There's nothing.

I don't know what you're on about.

It's your fault that you hit that car
because you're just not focused. Relax,

relax.

No, I mean, he's a great guy. He's good,
you know, sometimes a little bit

dramatic, but that's okay. We can deal
with that.

And he's always done great whenever we
really needed him to do well. And that's

something also quality, you know, that
we are looking for in a driver.

Hey man.

For me?

Yeah, it went well, but it's very
slippery, that new asphalt everywhere.

It went both in here and that last
sector.

Hey, hey, hey.

How's it going?

Rob, thanks a lot.

Thank you.

Team races, they are very used to see at
home. It's not like any other sports

where you need to be together.

We talk a lot online.

You never really see them face -to
-face. Of course, we have sometimes, you

know, you're on a meeting, cameras on or
whatever, but it's not as personal as

in real life.

Final lap of the race is about to start.
Brate Calpini has come out of the start

minute straight.

Don't do the fake braking on the bus
stop marks on the last lap, please.

And there are many examples where he was
on track and he brings his laptop with

his controller and he's driving on his
controller in his off -time on the

racetrack in Formula 1 to help the guys
in the CM team making a setup.

That's how he is.

That's what you don't see on TV, but the
guy is pushing through every wall just

to help his racing family.

Yeah, we'll go next to him.

Go to the finish line, go to the finish
line.

Come next to me.

Team Redline, one and three, but Max
Verstappen, Gianni Vecchio, and Oli

Steinbrecht, now winners of the biggest
sim race of the year. Bravo, guys,

bravo. Well done, yes.

Can I blow up the car?

You can blow it up, yes.

You still get the same emotions, for me
at least.

At the end of the day, it's the same,
because I celebrate in the car with my

helmet on, you know.

I'm celebrating with myself.

And then, of course, you go to the
people, but that's fine. I mean, the

are in your PC more or less.

Good job, Gustavo.

Smoke the pancake.
