Motorsports like NASCAR contain an assortment of drivers that wreck and get wrecked. Be it any race, wrecks and bumps are an integral part that can never be reduced to zero. However, there are a few drivers who seem to carry bad luck with them whenever they enter the track. One such driver who gets into wrecks more than usual and ends up affecting the outcome of the race is Trackhouse Racing Team‘s Ross Chastain.
The #1 Chevrolet driver, Chastain was recently given a new name “Wrecking Ball” by Christopher Bell while he was talking about Chastain’s display at the recent Cup Series race in Richmond. Now, a Twitter post featuring Chastain and Formula 1 driver, Max Verstappen‘s No. 33 Red Bull Racing car has surfaced and fans can’t help but pass sarcastic comments.

Having an aggressive racing style, Ross is prone to wrecking his rivals. Not just at the Richmond Raceway, but Chastain was also the reason behind his teammate Daniel Suarez getting spun out during the race at the Circuit of The Americas. A Twitter post has put forth a hilarious display. The Tweet cleverly displays the two wreck-prone drivers in one frame.

Chastain is certainly one of the most aggressive drivers in NASCAR. And though wrecks are not as common in F1 as in NASCAR, it’s the #33 Red Bull Racing driver who knows the most about wrecks.
Is Max Verstappen the Ross Chastain of Formula 1?

Formula 1 driver, Max Verstappen is not only known for being the youngest-ever competitor in F1 but also for being prone to wrecks. The photoshopped Tweet featured Max’s wrecked car, which perfectly co-relates with Chastain’s situation.
Verstappen has been involved in several wrecks with the costliest one being at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The brutal crash cost him the pole, and there would be nothing wrong in addressing him as the wrecking ball of F1.

Both Chastain and Verstappen have earned a reputation for the wrong reasons. However, this is a serious safety concern for others drivers and it remains to be seen if NASCAR takes any steps to reduce such occurances.
