Two-time Formula 1 world champion Fernando Alonso - who is returning to the real F1 grid in 2021 - was involved in an accident last weekend in an iRacing race where he appears to deliberately crash into and take out one of his opponents.
Footage from the game's replay system shows that Alonso ploughs straight into the back of the car ahead in the braking zone for Turn Five at the Daytona Road Course:
There has been no word from iRacing as to whether Alonso will be disciplined for this incident.
Former F1 driver Scott Speed was banned from iRacing for a similar incident in 2018. There was controversy last year during an iRacing IndyCar event when racer Simon Pagenaud took out Lando Norris, who was leading during an exhibition race.
