Opmeer & Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports Team take lead after F1 Esports Series round one

Two wins and four overall podiums in the first three races propelled Jarno Opmeer and Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports Team into the lead of the F1 Esports Series as the 2020 campaign began with a bang for the team. Pitched against the best drivers in the world in the most competitive field in the Series’ history, Opmeer and team-mate, Daniel Bereznay, established themselves as the pair to beat in the first week of the four-event championship, with races in Bahrain, Vietnam and China testing them in a variety of tracks.

A new qualifying format, mirroring that used by Formula One, saw both drivers book a place in Q3: a respectable performance put Daniel in P3, with Jarno in P5 as the top five were separate by less than a tenth of a second.
