Max Verstappen has been involved in a X-rated spat with a Williams star after fiery footage from a sim racing event has emerged.
The Formula 1 champion is not only known for his on track racing, but also his prowess in virtual racing events, races which Verstappen has often completed alongside grand prix weekends.
However, the Dutchman’s sim racing exploits seemingly backfired at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where his racing into the early hours at the 24 Hours of Spa was linked to a frustrated and foul-mouthed attitude during the next day's race.

Verstappen blasted by Williams star
Verstappen has continued to compete in sim racing events during the winter break, with the champion recently completing an iRacing event at Road America.
However, his racing style caused Jaden Munoz, part of the Williams iRacing Academy, to deliver a furious rant after he battled for the lead with Verstappen at the start but made contact before reaching the first corner.
The reaction from Munoz was captured on the live Twitch stream, where the Williams driver began to release his frustration towards Verstappen.
“Look how dumb he is. He doesn't change, ever. He's so dumb,” he said.
However, this was not the end of their altercation after Verstappen, who had dropped to the back of the grid, came to clash again when Munoz attempted to lap the F1 driver.
“I knew it. This is why you're gifted everything in your life, Max,” Munoz continued.
“You're a spoiled brat. You'd be nothing without your father, you'd be nothing. You'd be a nobody.
