Formula One and Formula E drivers are heading back on track this weekend - but to race against gamers and footballers. Drivers from both brands are being drafted in to race from the comfort of their living rooms in events which will plug the gap voided by the postponed Bahrain Grand Prix.
Last weekend, eSport powerhouse Veloce Sports, who are partly ran by two-time Formula E and former Toro Rosso F1 star Jean-Eric Vergne, organised the ‘Not The Aus Grand Prix’.
It saw British McLaren ace Lando Norris, Mercedes FE star Stoffel Vandoorne and Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois among their star-studded field.
