Ferrari on fire in F1 Esports debut

Better late than never!

Ferrari's long-awaited debut in the F1 Esports Series was one to remember as David Tonizza took a pair of victories to lead the standings after the first Pro Series event of 2019.

Tonizza was selected by Ferrari in the 2019 Pro Draft and repaid the Scuderia's faith by starting the series with back-to-back victories in Bahrain and China.

The 17-year-old also finished third in Race 3 in Azerbaijan to end the night with 65 points, 22 clear of Red Bull's Frederik Rasmussen, who joined Tonizza on the podium in Shanghai and won in Baku.

Reigning back-to-back champion Brendon Leigh scored fifth place in Race 1 and fourth in Race 3, and it appears that the Mercedes player has serious competition if he is to make it a hat-trick in 2019.

Leigh is sixth in the driver standings after three races, 43 points adrift of Tonizza.
