P2 // 121 points // 2 wins // Haas F1 Esports It’s one thing to join a racing series and immediately fit in. It’s another case entirely to do that, and threaten the very status quo. F1 Esports’ second Dutch superstar has done just that in 2022, and his name is Thomas Ronhaar. From his robust performance at the Pro Exhibition in June, he’s been right on the pace.

So how has the 17-year-old come in and stamped his authority so quickly? “The Pro Ex definitely gave me a good view of what’s coming in the future,” h ..read more

P4 // 1 win // 115 points // Oracle Red Bull Racing Esports Silver. It’s bright, it’s beautiful, and it’s precious. But, it’s not gold.

But if he’s to ascend to the highest position possible in 2022, he needs a silver bullet. And this time round, it’s not a Silver Arrow in front of him. Rasmussen sits P4 in the standings, behind McLaren Shadow duo Lucas Blakeley and Bari ..read more
