“I did not take it as seriously as I should have,” Abt said. “I am especially sorry about this because I know how much work has gone into this project on the part of the Formula E organization. I am aware that my offense has a bitter aftertaste but it was never meant with any bad intention.”
Mercedes driver Stoffel Vandoorne called Abt out on his Twitch stream after suspecting the German wasn’t actually racing, according to Baldwin.
Abt didn’t finish on the podium in any of the previous virtual races leading up to Sunday’s event.
