F1 Pro Esports Event Two Preview: Can Blakeley maintain his good start?

12th October 2022 0 By Kamron Kent

McLaren Shadow’s Lucas Blakeley had a great start in the opening event of the Formula 1 Pro Esports 2022 championship, but can the Scotsman maintain that form going into event two?

Blakeley got a great start in event one, securing two wins in a row at Bahrain and Imola but the Scotsman finished third in Silverstone, behind Red Bull Racing Esports’ Frederik Rasmussen and Haas F1 Esports’ Thomas Ronhaar who finished first and second respectively.

As such, Blakeley stands on top of the 2022 drivers standings with 65 points to his name, 21 points ahead of Rasmussen (second) and Ronhaar (third) while the defending world champion, Mercedes, Jarno Opmeer rounds out the top four.

The second event will get underway on Wednesday, October 12, consisting of rounds four to six.

Wednesday will kick off the action at the Red Bull Ring, Thursday’s round will be at Belgium’s iconic Spa-Francorchamps and the final round of the event, on Friday, will take place around the Dutch seaside circuit of Zandvoort.

Across all three days; Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, qualifying is set to commence at 3:30pm (BST) and the race will go lights out at 7:30pm (BST).

Qualifying will be available via F1’s Pro Esport channels on YouTube, Twitch & Huya, while all the racing action can be watched on the same channels and including Facebook.
