In a Twitch clip going viral, Verstappen can be clearly seen taking a lead from his opponents. He is zooming through the virtual track as he does on the real one. So, to take him down, his opponents devised a strategy to take him down. All his opponents banded together and collectively tried to bump him off track. But this strategy did not go in their favor, as not only did Verstappen evade them skillfully, but he also did not manage to go off track for much duration.

This exceptional skill comes from the fact he evades real cars and zooms through them in real life. This, however, did not help him get the first place. But he still managed to get a podium finish. Verstappen and his teammates ended the 24-hour race in third place.
