Format edit

Following the 2018 Formula One Esports Series success, there is no significant changes to the tournament's format.

  • Qualification - The season opens with online qualification, a global call for participation. Qualification is open to anyone with a copy of the official Formula 1 video game developed by Codemasters. The fastest gamers get through.
  • Pro Draft - Qualifying gamers enter the Pro Draft where the official Formula 1 teams select their drivers to represent them in the F1 Esports Pro Series championships.
  • Pro Series - The drivers race in 25-50% races over a series of events that are broadcast live. They earn points for themselves and their F1 teams. These races will determine the F1 New Balance Esports Series Teams’ and Drivers’ World Champions, with a portion of the prize fund distributed to the teams based on their standings.[1]

Teams and drivers edit

The grid was increased from 9 to 10 teams this season, with Ferrari Driver Academy entering F1 Esports for the first time.
