Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero will compete for Red Bull Racing at this weekend’s Virtual Spanish Grand Prix, one of three footballers who will take part in the event.

Formula 1 has held virtual events on its F1 2019 platform in place of postponed or cancelled grands prix, with Guan Yu Zhou, Charles Leclerc and Alexander Albon sharing the victories.

Aguero, who has won four Premier League titles with Manchester City – including the famous winning goal in the 2011/12 decider – will join Albon at Red Bull.

Also joining from the subs bench will be Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibault Courtois, who will compete for Alfa Romeo after taking part in the virtual Chinese GP for Red Bull, while Barcelona star Arthur Melo will line up for Haas.

The now-customary sextuplet of Formula 1 drivers – Leclerc, Albon, George Russell, Antonio Giovinazzi, Lando Norris and Nicholas Latifi – will also participate.

The 33-lap race will take place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya at 18:00 BST on Sunday, and will be streamed across various platforms.

“Motorsport is a great passion of mine so to be given the opportunity to take part in the Virtual Spanish GP is very exciting for me,” said Aguero.

“I have travelled to watch F1 races and test myself at track days, which have been exhilarating experiences.

“But this takes it to the next level and gives me the opportunity to race and compete against real F1 drivers – I can’t wait.”

Also confirmed to participate are ex-F1 racer Tonio Liuzzi, Haas tester Pietro Fittipaldi, while golfer Ian Poulter returns for Renault, alongside academy driver and Formula 3 racer Max Fewtrell.
