Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports driver, Jarno Opmeer, claimed his first drivers’ world title in the F1 Esports series, bringing the trophy to Hinwil for the first time in the team’s history. Going into the final race in Interlagos with a 16-point advantage over Red Bull’s Frede Rasmussen, the Dutchman coolly brought it home in P7 to claim the crown, also cementing Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN second place in the constructors’ standings.
Races in Suzuka, Mexico and Brazil brought the season to an end, and they were three spectacular events that saw both championships go down to the wire. A cagey affair in Japan saw Jarno finish just off the podium in P4, with team-mate Daniel Bereznay nursing quickly-degrading tyres to come home ninth. A win by Rasmussen reduced Jarno’s advantage in the standings, but the comeback was to be delivered in the penultimate round in Mexico City.
