A Few Words Lucas Blakeley, Esports Driver at BWT Racing Point F1 Esports Team: "It's always exciting in the build-up to a new season of the F1 Esports Pro Series. The season opener is going to be all about getting into the zone and preparing as best as we can. I'm feeling confident and I'm looking forward to experiencing the new format changes, it's going to make for a really intense spectacle. Vietnam has the potential to be a deciding race. It's a very tricky street circuit and I think that's where most of the mistakes are going to be made because it's a massive challenge for a driver. Personally, I really enjoy Bahrain, so I hope to be strong there too." Daniele Haddad, Esports Driver at BWT Racing Point F1 Esports Team: "It's going to be a tough campaign this year as the competition is so high, but I truly believe we're ready to compete for great results. It's about keeping our focus and being clinical when opportunities arrive. I'm confident going into the event as we've had a strong pre-season. We’re excited and ready to prove ourselves in a really varied triple-header to start the season. It's going to be strange not to be racing in a studio event as the atmosphere is so incredible, but it's a credit to Formula 1 and everyone involved that we can put on a show remotely and I think it's going to be a great season for the fans." Shanaka Clay, Esports Driver at BWT Racing Point F1 Esports Team: “I'm really looking forward to the season getting started. Obviously, I won't be driving and instead I'll be in a reserve role for the first event. I'm very keen to work hard and help Lucas and Daniele in any way that I can. They've both been with the team for over a year and they have that existing relationship, which is hugely important, and I can learn from that. When I get my chance on track, I'll be ready to prove myself. But whether it's on the track or off the track, I'll work just as hard to make sure we're getting strong results for the team. We've had good preparation and we can be confident for this season.”
