    Charles Leclerc won last night's EA Sports F1 24 launch event in Monaco, taking victory around the virtual streets of Monte-Carlo. Williams' Alex Albon also participated, finishing third. 

    The event was held as part of EA Sports' launch for F1 24, which releases next month. Eight other racers took on the two F1 drivers, including Liverpool forward Diogo Jota and former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, as well as multiple content creators including WillNE. 

    Local hero Leclerc won the race from pole. Albon took second on track, but dropped to third with a three-second time penalty, promoting MaximeMXM to second. 

    Aubameyang finished the race in eighth, with Jota behind him in ninth. 

    Leclerc and Albon will now prepare for the real Monaco Grand Prix, with lights out at 2pm (BST)/3pm (CET)
