The intensity and competitiveness of the official F1 Esports series is not appreciated by many, but its latest champion showed the amount of effort needed in order to reach the top.
But now added to the roster is 21-year-old Scotsman Lucas Blakeley, who, as well as winning last year's F1 Esports championship, helpedShadow secure the constructors' championship too for the first time since it joined the sim racing series.
What is perhaps not fully appreciated by many is the intensity and competitiveness of the official F1 Esports championship – a series where just one tenth of the second can be the difference between pole position and getting dumped out in Q1.There still remain many sceptics about the legitimacy of sim racing, with some still believing it's the domain of kids who spend hours per day locked in their bedrooms hot-lapping to try to make themselves quicker.
"I remember one of the key points of this season was Zandvoort in qualifying. Between P1 or P2 to P18, I think was just about one tenth. And that is massive,. You get one corner wrong, you are out." With the performance margins so small in F1 Esports, and overtaking difficult, it means a perfect qualifying and nailing strategy is absolute king. That is why this is such a core area of focus here in the build-up to each weekend.
The psychological aspect of being a racing driver is endlessly fascinating, and Blakeley admits that the pressures involved in the F1 Esports series are immense; because if you go into an event and don't perform at your very best, then it means guaranteed failure.
