The Briton took it a step further when he launched his own Esports team called “Team Quadrant”. “Quadrant is something I’ve wanted to do for a long while,” Lando said to BBC Sport. “While racing will be a focus and be a bigger passion than almost any other Esports, Quadrant is hopefully going to be expanding into many other different categories of esports and games.”
Apart from Lando, even his McLaren F1 team has an Esports team called McLaren Shadows. Based in the MTC, McLaren Shadow competes in some of the well-known series in the world of Esports. With high-profile names jumping into the Esports scene in the last few years, it will be interesting to see how big this environment can grow.
