WHAT WE WANT: F1 esports is providing fans with entertainment

F1’s Virtual Grand Prix Series is set to return next week.

The event will be similar to that of the Bahrain Grand Prix, with current and former drivers racing against celebrities and influencers to entertain F1 fans around the world.

F1 2020 release date

Last year’s game dropped in June, a full two months earlier than expected.

This release date was a big hit with fans, but gamers should prepare themselves for a longer wait this year.

Given the current climate, things are extremely fluid and Codemasters are undoubtedly affected. No official announcement has yet been made about when F1 2020 will arrive.
