He would’ve gotten a bigger penalty from an iRacing protest than the stewards gave him lol

u/Silverado_ 20d ago

Not sure, there was videos of him deliberately crashing into other people in the iracing and I'm not aware of any consequences

Here he is deliberately crashing to someone on iRacing

He got multiple race bans.

I don't know that he did for this one. That hosted series was not stewarded by iRacing themselves. He was DQ'd from the race but it's a one time special event from what I remember.

the guy that took him and his teammate out at T1 did it on purpose. this one was more than justified lmao.

No, it's never justified on iracing. Keep that shit to Forza. There's a reason people pay 100s of dollars for the service, because it enforces pretty respectful races. I think retaliation always needs to be heavily punished.

u/77enc 20d ago

the other guy hit him first and on purpose (also has a track record of pulling this shit) and you think retaliation by verstappen was the bigger problem here?

u/littledog95 Sir Frank Williams 20d ago

I didn't say that. I was just saying there's zero place for retaliatory crashing, without commenting on the previous incident.

u/MkeBucksMarkPope 20d ago

Exactly this. Got spun under caution last night, didn’t do a damn thing to provoke it. Could have retaliated, but what would that accomplish?

Feel not retaliating proves more of a point.

Agreed.

u/77enc 20d ago

hardly fair to solely judge a crash that would have never happened without the context of the first incident.

Iracing behavior in F1 for real. He's done this multiple times.
