Since the drivers can't fight it out on a real circuit at the moment, so it happens online and Leclerc is doing well there. After a victory in Bahrain there was a second victory for Charles Leclerc in China.
However, the victory did not come by itself, because the Monegask was busy for laps with Alexander Albon. In the end the driver of Ferrari struck, but it didn't go without a any problems. There was barely a gap on the inside, but Leclerc pulled through anyway, probably to the dismay of the Thai.
Rubbin' is racin'!

Leclerc versus Albon
The overtake would eventually make Leclerc the winner of the third virtual Formula 1 race. Leclerc is happy to be able to race at the moment. ''Racing is a lot of fun, especially if you can win. However, the podium ceremonies are a bit strange. You turn off your computer and then start cooking your pasta'', concludes Leclerc laughing on his twitter.
I'm actually enjoying very much playing, and streaming. And I enjoy it even more when I win. But the post race celebrations are somehow feeling a bit different. Switching off the computer and go cook white pasta is a bit less glamour than spraying champagne on the podium

For the next race the fans can choose another race. The Dutch Grand Prix would have been the next one on the calendar, but it is not yet in the F1 2019 game. The choice for the next race is between those of America, Japan, Brazil and Mexico. On which track do you want to see the race?
Another amazing #VirtualGP!
