The Silverstone Virtual Circuit was selected for this event.

Formula 1 moved to an online broadcast format last year, as did many other events. This is due to the pandemic. Formula 1 fans responded adequately to what was happening and supported the company. Over the past year, views on the official Formula 1 channel on Twitch have increased significantly and have broken records. For example, the Grand Final received more than 2.5 million views, which was an absolute record for racing competitions.

Many racers first tried themselves in esports, they noted that the virtual form of racing has its advantages. In general, most of the riders liked it. Some even began to broadcast on Twitter and expand their fan base. Lando Norris is one of these riders, he also performed in a helmet, which was designed for him by a small fan.
