After the virtual Grands Prix at the Red Bull Ring and Silverstone, a number of drivers will take to the track at a digitalized Interlagos tonight. The last of three virtual races will see Alexander Albon and George Russell go head-to-head again, with Albon no doubt hoping to give his British counterpart a taste of his own medicine after losing last week.
Although the Thai racer crossed the line first last weekend after a spectacular overtaking move on Russell on the final lap, he was forced to relinquish his spot immediately after incurring a time penalty. As a result, George Russell, who cleverly managed to stay within three seconds of Albon, was able to win the second virtual Grand Prix.
The upcoming Brazilian virtual Grand Prix will be Albon's last chance to have revenge and to show his best side for Red Bull, the team he again represents in the virtual tournament. Tonight he will be supported by Red Bull Driftbrother Johannes Hountondji.

The all-decisive race

At the end of the virtual GP at Interlagos, it will become clear which team has collected the most points and will walk away with the $100,000 prize money. The prize money will then be donated to the charity of their choosing. Currently, the Haas team, represented by Pietro and Enzo Fittipaldi, is at the top of the rankings.
