Virtual Formula 1 is not the real thing, but it has something that real Formula 1 doesn’t have

The first F1 virtual race last week had one thing that F1 has aspired—and failed—for the longest time: closeness of competition.
Last weekend, sport resumed. Sort of. In a normal world, March 22 was when the second Formula 1 race of this season would have been held, in Bahrain.
It was cancelled due to Covid-19. But that day saw the start of a virtual race series to fill the void left by F1. It featured 19 race drivers of different pedigrees logging in from across the world to race each other on simulators that replicate actual tracks.
They raced in the colours of current F1 teams. It was meant to mirror the real thing. Engaging as the racing was, it couldn’t mirror the real thing.
