The pair will be fighting against Ferrari's Charles Leclerc, Red Bull's Alex Albon, Alfa Romeo's Antonio Giovinazzi, Williams chargers George Russell and Nicholas Latifi and many other real life and sim racers, including Callum Ilott - also for Ferrari, F2 driver Juan Manuel Correa and Real Madrid goalie Thibaut Courtois.
