Young vs. old: Who are participating in the virtual Vietnam Grand Prix?

There might not be a real Vietnam Grand Prix this weekend, but the Formula 1 has ensured that a virtual version of the event is scheduled tonight at eight GMT. Six of the 20 current F1 drivers will participate in the virtual race, as well as former drivers like Jenson Button and even England Cricket's Ben Stokes!

Much better

The first edition of the 'official' virtual Grands Prix in Bahrain was a success, although not many real drivers were present. Lando Norris and Nicholas Latifi were the only representatives of the current grid. The rest of the field consisted of simracers, athletes from other disciplines and even a former member of boyband One Direction!

This time, the F1 has managed to summon six drivers. Charles Leclerc is the biggest star of the debutants, but Red Bull's Alex Albon will also be present. George Russell and Antonio Giovinazzi are also logging on this evening for their respective teams.  

The rest of the grid

In the McLaren next to Norris, a former driver of the team will take place. Jenson Button, who won eight Grands Prix with the team from Woking, will now give it a go in the virtual world.

Sky Sports F1 analysts and former drivers Johnny Herbert and Anthony Davidson will also participate, and F1 veterans Stoffel Vandoorne and Esteban Gutierrez will participate on behalf of Mercedes.
