Event 2 will host rounds 2 – 7 (Jeddah, Spielberg, Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, Zandvoort and Austin), while Event 3 will play backdrop to rounds 8 – 12 (Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Las Vegas, Lusail, and Yas Marina).

Alfie Butcher, MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Esports driver, said: “I’m buzzing to be heading back to a LAN environment and getting back to racing after some time away from the series. The event is going to be very challenging because the format being hectic with many races in a short period of time. However, we have prepared in the most efficient way possible to combat this and put ourselves in the best position to bring home as many points as possible for the team. Preparation is coming to an end now so the focus shifts on translating the preparation into the race. With that being said, I’m very excited to get back and running in F1 Sim Racing and hoping to build on my performance in Bahrain and make my rookie season one to remember.”

Bence Szabó-Kónyi, MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Esports driver, said: “I’m really excited to be back racing. We've had a really long break since the first event in Jönköping and in the meantime, we’ve put a lot of work in to make sure we're up to speed everywhere and we are well prepared for all scenarios. The next days will be really eventful as there will be six races in the space of three days. I'm really looking forward to the event and I hope we will score some good points.” 

Ulaş Özyildirim, MoneyGram Haas F1 Team Esports driver, said: “I'm very hyped and excited for this event, we have been preparing for a long time now and with the event format, it’s going to be hectic and will be more about mental endurance and physical endurance too.  We’re confident with our preparation so we are looking to get good results onboard. In Bahrain it wasn’t an ideal season opener from me but now many things have changed and I feel confident I can bring home some good results. The aim is to make my rookie season a good one and bring as many points as possible to the team.”
