All motorsports are on hold during the virus pandemic, but drivers and fans fill the wait with simulated racing. Every time a World Cup round in Formula 1 was held, a virtual version of the computer game “F1 2019” (developed by Codemasters) was run, and this time it joined Solberg.
– Formula 1 debut at age 45, and that without leaving my house. This will be exciting Tweeted Solberg before the race. He became world rally champion in 2003, rallycross in 2014 and 2015.
– It was fun. I had fun, but it was also very intense, he said later.
– I was probably too hard on the tires. I pushed, but struggled with understeer. I only had two days of training and if I’m going to do this again I have to prepare better. But it was a good competition where I fought well with some of the others.
Along the way, he was seconded by his son Oliver, who is an upcoming rally star.
Albon won
After two straight wins, Charles Leclerc had to settle for third place on Sunday. The 22-year-old Ferrari driver from Monaco has been the big name in virtual Formula One races this spring, but on Sunday he lost the duel against Red Bull driver Alex Albon.
The two met in all 36 rounds, which included many leadership changes. Finally, due to a time penalty, Leclerc also had to see Williams driver George Russell ahead of him on the final list.
The Nederlands Grand Prix is back on the Formula 1 calendar after a 35-year absence, and because the Zandvoort course is not in the 2019 edition of the Formula 1 game used, the race was run on the game version of the Interlagos course in São Paulo.
