Why isn’t Max Verstappen in the line-up?
His pal Lando isn’t afraid to take a beating.

He appears to be “too pro” to take on Codemaster’s F1 game. It is too childish for him.

This might be a good way for drivers to pass the time until “real” racing starts up again.
BUT, this is NOT real racing. I think the graphics suck, hell, I can tune into any race and tell within 3 seconds whether it is live or computer generated. There is no way that a video game can contain the complexity and random events that occur during a “real” race. If this mindless crap takes over from “real” racing, I’m going to go watch the ACA (American Cornhole Association) events instead.
