Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang becomes latest Premier League star to swap football for F1 as he teams up with Lando Norris to take on streets of Monaco in virtual Grand Prix

Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be taking tips from McLaren's Lando Norris before the pair line up for a virtual Formula One Grand Prix around Monaco's street circuit on Sunday.
