Very cool from him to support the guys who are way better than me in sim racing. It is almost too funny how opinions differs about sim racing between (former) F1 drivers.

Here in the Netherlands we have Robert Doornbos. Dutch people who looks F1 Cafe (Talkshow on Dutch television) probably know what I mean. Always talking diminishing about sim racing and treats participants of their offline sim race competition in a very diminishing way. Oh, and according to him they made sim racing popular in the Netherlands. Although to him it’s only gaming. Even talked in a cringeworthy way about World Fastest Gamers finalists... But hey, there must be a reason Alonso made it in F1 and Doornbos not.
