There’s a great @F1 / e-sports article waiting to be written... e.g. @LandoNorris is 19 & just showed up strong to the first qualifying. Spent years doing sim racing from home (also racing real cars), plus has a great YouTube channel. Might know the tracks better than anybody.

He ended last season super hot too, after a rough first half. But yeah similar. Norris seems to be more of a “digital native” type.

Verstappen didn’t really get started in sims but does race online, alongside Lando Norris actually on Team Readline http://www.teamredline.co.uk/team/

Yeah exactly. And Norris did 600 laps on his sim at home before this weekend. I feel like that’s a new thing.
