F1 Esports Series Pro Championship returns for 2022 with new format

The Mercedes-AMG Petronas Esports team and Jarno Opmeer head into the new season as reigning driver and team champions, the Dutch driver’s second title in as many years. 

Each team will have three drivers, which they can rotate through the season if they deem suitable. The full entry list is yet to be revealed, but Lucas Blakeley has left Aston Martin to be part of the Veloce camp during the offseason, while the Alfa Romeo Racing Orlen F1 Esports Team has an all-new line-up of Nicolas Longuet, Dani Bereznay and Tomek Poradzisz. 

Alpine Esports will field Patrik Sipos, Samuel Bean and Filip Prešnajder while Ferrari has entered former champions Brendon Leigh and David Tonizza alongside Fabrizio Donoso Delgada.
