Luis Fonsi, Singer-songwriter, who broke all-time streaming records with his 2017 hit ‘Despacito’, is joining the Formula One fast stream for a virtual Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday.
The Miami-based Puerto Rican will line up in Racing Point colours in a field with eight regular F1 drivers, including Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc who will still be a home favourite on simulated streets.
Hamilton, winner in the principality from pole last year, is not taking part in an event that is mainly for fun but with some bragging rights.
The live-streamed virtual race comes on the weekend that was scheduled for the Formula One showcase, absent from the calendar for the first time since 1954 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
