- Two-time F1 Esports champion Brendon Leigh signs for Ferrari - 18 January 2021
One of the most famous names in Formula 1 esports, Brendon Leigh, has left the Mercedes-AMG Petronas Esports team to join Ferrari's sim racing division. Leigh, who is a two-time F1 world champion, has been with Mercedes since 2018 when Formula 1 constructors first became part of the F1 Pro Series, but now joins 2019 world champion David Tonizza at one of the most famous teams in racing. The move comes as a surprise, but Ferrari arguably now has the strongest duo on paper in F1 esports, with three world titles between the Brit and the Italian. Despite their experience, both failed to seriously challenge 2020's dominant champion, Alfa Romeo's Jarno Opmeer, last season. Leigh finished in sixth place with 84 points, and despite failing to win a race, consistent high finishes meant he ended up one place above seventh-placed Tonizza, despite the Italian winning two races in Vietnam and Monza.…
