American driver Juan Manuel Correa, who suffered serious leg injuries in an F2 crash ahead of last year's Belgian Grand Prix, will make his debut in Formula One's esports series this weekend.
McLaren's Carlos Sainz will also take part for the first time alongside real-life F1 teammate Lando Norris, who has been one of the stars of the esports boom during the hiatus from racing caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The Virtual Chinese Grand Prix will take place on April 19 and will be broadcast live on the ESPN network in the U.S. from 13:00 ET. The race, held on the Codemasters F1 2019 game, takes place on the day the championship was supposed to have held the Chinese Grand Prix at the Shanghai International Circuit.
