The youngest and highly talented F1 drivers and esports players, with some celebrities in store, are clashing on the virtual tracks again with the new season of the F1 Esports Virtual GP, the concept that emerged last year in the midst of the Long Covid phenomenon the world's facing against.
This season is a three-race event that takes place in Red Bull Ring, Silverstone, and Interlagos, serving as a buildup for the upcoming F1 2021 season happening in Bahrain later this year. The first of the three-race battle begins at Red Bull Ring for the Virtual Austrian Grand Prix and the whole world's watching which of the virtual racers draw their first virtual blood of this mini-event.
Joining alongside former and recurring F1 drivers Vandoorne, Albon, Russel, and Latifi, are well-known names in the field of sports, esports, and others. Word from the world is that the Fittipaldi brothers, Pietro and Enzo, were present as well, virtually representing Haas.
Enzo Fittipaldi and Ferrari Driver Academy's Arthur Leclerc made headlines in the first F1 Esports Virtual GP round as they've pulled whatever means necessary to win the first Virtual Grand Prix of 2021 and in the end, it was Enzo who nailed the first win of the three-race virtual mini-event.
