Carlos Sainz and Juan Manuel Correa join the grid for the Virtual Chinese Grand Prix.

McLaren have confirmed that both of their official Formula 1 drivers will compete in the next official Formula 1 esports series.

Lando Norris has competed in all of the races so far, but the Chinese Grand Prix will mark the debut of Sainz into the championship. Alongside Williams, McLaren are now the only team to be racing with both of their official real-world drivers.

Formula 2 driver Correa has not raced in the real world since his accident at the Belgium Grand Prix, the same accident that took the life of Anthoine Hubert.

The Ecuadorean-American broke both of his legs in the 70G impact and has undergone a significant rehabilitation program - the driver providing fans with regular updates via social media on his condition.

Correa will partner Antonio Giovinazzi at Alfa Romeo.
