The Ferrari driver will take part in the race remotely on Sunday 5 April. With him also his brother Arthur, and then Giovinazzi, Albon, Russell, Norris and Latifi. The start at 21, live on Sky Sport F1 and on social channels

Charles Leclerc will be the most awaited in the second virtual GP of the season, scheduled for Sunday 5 April at 9 pm Italian time. The Ferrari driver will challenge six other virtual drivers on the route of Melbourne’s Albert Park, the same used for the first Virtual GP of the year, an event organized by Formula 1 to “trick the wait” given the stop at the World Cup after the coronavirus emergency .

All on the grid

At the remote wheel there will be, in addition to Leclerc, his brother Arthur and above all our Antonio Giovinazzi – who revealed his participation during a direct video with the Gazzetta dello Sport – as well as Albon (Red Bull), Norris (McLaren), Russell and Latifi (Williams), former British F1 driver Johnny Herbert and Ben Stokes cricket world champion with England. The race will be broadcast live on Sky Sport F1 and on the F.1 channels of the social You Tube, Twitch and Facebook. The event will last about 90 minutes, the time for a qualification that establishes the grid and then 28 laps on the Australian track, given that – explain from F1 – the Hanoi track (during the weekend the Vietnam GP would have had to be run if the world championship had started regularly) has not yet been included in the official electronic game of Formula 1. To make the race more exciting and balanced, given that the participants have different levels of skill and familiarity with video games, the organizers have chosen some settings that they will make virtual cars identical in power and performance.
