A number of current F1 superstars have been battling it out on the F1 2019 game, racing each other and a host of sports stars and celebrities in heated races online from their own homes.

Every Grand Prix cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic will be translated to the virtual world, and while there are no points or titles on offer, you can bet all of the drivers will be desperate to get one over their fellow stars.

Check out everything you need to know about the F1 Virtual Grand Prix series.

How to watch the F1 Virtual Grand Prix?
