Pierre Gasly believes Formula 1 Esports is "almost as exciting" than the real thing and wants to become more involved in the latest craze.
Gasly was in attendance for the first round of the F1 Esports series this week. David Tonizza won two of the three races for Ferrari. Gasly said he was really impressed by what he witnessed.
"I've been here already last year," Gasly said to Autosport. "I'm always super impressed with the level of the guys because of the way they race, the way they drive is just so clean.
"I was checking the lines the guys were taking, it's unbelievable. That's pure racing, milimetres from the walls every corner (at Baku). What I liked was how they prepared the overtake - the way they managed the batteries and energies.
"It's all planned, you can see when the guy is setting himself up for the move. The racing is almost more exciting than ours. It's really good fun to watch."
