Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois will join six Formula One drivers in this weekend's official F1 esports event. 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.
Courtois, who took part in separate online race against F1 drivers earlier this year, will race for Red Bull alongside the team's main virtual driver Alex Albon. The Red Bull duo will go up against current F1 drivers Charles Leclerc, George Russell, Antonio Giovinazzi, and Nicholas Latifi, who are all returning to the virtual grid after racing in the Vietnamese Grand Prix esports event two weeks ago.
