George Russell (ENG, Williams) achieved another victory in virtual F1 (F1 Esports Virtual Grand Prix) -this time at Silverstone- and in addition his teammate Álvaro Carretón (ESP, Williams) also won.
First there was a race with simracing stars. In it, Marcel Kiefer (DEU, Red Bull) took first place when they started but Brandon Leigh (ENG, Ferrari) passed him on lap 4 of 5 and they stayed that way, with Dani Bereznay (HUN, Alfa Romeo) third.
In the feature race, which had some modifications to the damage configuration (to be more forgiving), Callum Illott (ENG, Ferrari) took first place. Footballer Thibaut Courtois (BEL, Alfa Romeo) passed Alexander Albon (THA, Red Bull) for second place, but would remain there for a short time.
By the final part of the race the positions had been rearranged: Albon was first, followed by Goerge Russell (ENG, Williams) and Callum Illott. The Williams driver pressed and passed the Red Bull driver with two laps to go.
Albon passed Russell again, on the last lap. He crossed the line first but that did not mean he won the race, because Albon received a three second penalty for going over the track limits. and thus he finished in second place, ahead of Illott and the Fittipaldi brothers (BRA), Haas drivers.
