F2 racer Juan Manuel Correa will join Antonio Giovinazzi on Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix grid, the third installment of F1’s Virtual Grand Prix series.
Formula 1’s official online championship is gaining momentum thanks to the fame of its participants which include Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, Alex Albon, George Russell, Nicholas Latifi, Giovinazzi and more talented pro and sim racers.
While Giovinazzi heads into his second Virtual GP, having finished fifth on his debut in Melbourne, Correa – who tested for Alfa in 2019 in the real world of F1 before his horrendous crash at Spa last summer – will take part in his first F1 sim racing event.

However, the Ecuadorean-American driver has been showing off his online skills in various Esports events in the past month.
Another man to watch in Sunday’s race is Belgian football ace Thibaut Courtois, as talented behind the wheel of a virtual car as he is when defending the goal posts of Real Madrid in Spain’s La Liga.
