I messaged Verstappen: "You're a f****** idiot!"

It is well known that Max Verstappen spends a lot of time on the simulator, which is a very important element in his preparation. However, it is also known that he often loses his cool in virtual races and does things he could never get away with on a real racetrack.

Jaden Munoz, a competitor from the Williams iRacing Academy, fell victim to this, but he was not intimidated by his high-profile rival and brutally confronted him. To add to the backstory, Verstappen had already had a run-in in Daytona before the current simulated race at Road America, but that incident was swallowed by the simulator community at the time. This one was not... The four-time world champion Verstappen and Munoz collided right at the first corner, and the Dutchman was so upset by it that he waited for Munoz at the back of the pack to crash into him.

“Look at how stupid he is. He never changes. I knew he would do this. You are like this because you have been handed everything on a platter your whole life, Max. You are a spoiled brat who would be nobody without your father. No one would know you, you f***ing idiot...” Munoz raged, using very strong words.

What do you think, is the outburst justified?
