George Russell wins Spanish Virtual GP

Leclerc looked set for a victory after Russell picked up a three-second penalty. However, Leclerc too was penalised on the penultimate lap, both of whom were penalised for cutting corners. This let Russell cruise past the finish line with ease, in what turned out to be his first motor racing win since 2018 when he used to compete in Formula Two. Meanwhile, Leclerc was left disappointed for losing out in what could have been an easy victory for the Ferrari star.
