On Sunday evening it was time to take on the official Williams drivers. Nicholas Latifi and George Russell got into the virtual Formula 1 car to challenge the different fans in the world for a little racing.

In the Williams Challenge several parts were discussed. For example the old Williams from Damon Hill is raced, but they also drive modern cars. Where it had to be a battle with the fans, Latifi and Russell were mainly busy with each other and that resulted in nice actions.

At Silverstone, Russell managed to place a great catch-up on teammate Latifi, who was fighting with YouTuber Aarava at the time. However, the two went a bit too wide, which opened the door for the Brit. The Brit was able to make use of that immediately and celebrated a small party behind the wheel.

In the last race at the rained Spa-Francorchamps things didn't go so well. In the last corner of the last lap Russell had to and would try to catch up with his Canadian teammate, but that action cost Latifi the podium. Russell would also finish outside the top four, where he was still riding for that corner.
