With no real sporting events taking place, people have to rely on other means for entertainment. This is where eSports comes into the mix and helps people during times of boredom. In the case of F1 eSports, it helps drivers hone their skills.

Another massive boon is that drivers can use simulator video games to test out new tracks. For example, had the 2020 F1 season carried on as normal, drivers could have used simulators to test the Vietnam and Dutch circuits.

Normally, these gamers race on the latest edition of the F1 game. In this case, it is F1 2019, until F1 2020 releases later this year.
