[@scottmeredith3359]

To me this isn’t just a “wow this guys is also a good sim racer” thing, it’s a reflection of how good his mental game is. Doing two huge competitive events like this simultaneously could be a massive distraction from each other, but instead it shows how unreal his mental management is to compartmentalize each event and perform at his best in both. Everyone always talks about the RB car being the reason Max wins so much (it helps for sure) but I think he’s just on an entirely different level when it comes to his mental game and thriving on pressure.

[@KepleroGT]

No amount of pressure can compare to P disturbing him in the middle of a sim race (Penelope's his daughter)

[@EduFirenze]

People who think the car will carry a subpar driver to a podium don't know racing.

Seriously there isn't any argument anymore that Verstappen is on the F1 Mount Rushmore. Argue over the other 3 if you like. But he is definitely on it. One thing that he has that is uniquely his, counted among the greatest to have ever done it. Is he is competing at the highest level even on a SIM. Where truly the ONLY thing you can rely on is yoir racecraft. For him to be as dangerous against the best SIM drivers in the world really speaks volumes about how he ranks ALL TIME!

[@apophisstr6719]

Max is the goat, his style is the perfect blend of Schumacher Senna mentality/skill set while throwing in his own flavor of being absolutely robotic and unphased by anything that happens. Just a pure racer that wants nothing more then to best the absolute best he can possibly be at his craft. He would never call himself the goat as he is far to humble and always shows respect to the older generation, but personally hes my pick.

All top drivers in the world feel the pressure, and they ALL pretend they are in cool and calm headspace with a relaxed demeanor. Max is the only one I belive. Sometimes it looks like you need to wake his ass up. He truly inst interested in ANYTHING but racing. Just another day at the office.

[@ashlittle4545]

Watched F1 for 20 years and never miss a race. Strangely this one video has made me now actually accept Max is on another level. To also do it in a sim with no G load this perfectly shows his raw talent. Considering Hamilton in comparison admits he doesn't really entertain the idea of "sim work". Says why he's taking a bucket list job at Ferrari next year, whilst Max is re writing the record books every season. Unreal talent.

[@DrWaltman]

This video is insane. He makes pro sim drivers look like the easy AI. As if only he has the real top speed. Max lives and breathes racing, not caring about changing cars and track in a weekend, just performing on the limit each and every turn.

Dude just throes the car into corners getting all the limits of grip lol. He makes me realize most of us turn in to little out of fear of snapping or losing grip. He's found that perfect edge where he can just turn in like crazy with just the right speed and come out crazy fast. Instead of doing what alot of us do taking the longer line trying to hold speed when we should be lifting off a little more turning in a little tighter and coming out that much faster.
