Following in the footsteps of La Liga, F1 will be hosting on-line races with a mix of current drivers, retired drivers, commentators, sim racers and celebrities racing the Codemasters F1 2019 game. Races happen at the same time as the cancelled/postponed actual races. If you're missing your race action and want a bit of fun...

I turned on the official F-1 streaming game broadcast last night while I worked at my bench. They had a few current drivers, some older drivers, some drivers from lowe for other series. It was kind of amusing but they had some glitches as well. If they could get that ironed out to where it is reliable I think they should give 1 point or something per race and have all the current drivers running. It is not real F-1 but it is a way to connect, enjoy our preferred sport, and show the sponsors still.

I will admit I did not watch real closely just listened and looked over now and then to see what was happening but I enjoyed it.
