Lando is a breath of fresh air in the paddock. He and those around him are everything F1 needs to breath life into an otherwise old blokes smoking club.
I'm not a NASCAR fan, but the one linked above showed F1 how they should have approached it. A full field of real drivers with real car liveries on a sim with a game set up for proper broadcasts. The only concession they made for entertainment was to allow a couple of car resets to repair damage.
It goes to show how out of touch F1 is by signing exclusive licenses with Codemasters. It's an approach that greatly harmed the racing game community back in the early-2000s and it's sad that they're still making the same mistakes 20 years later.
If they were intent on racing the "Bahrain Virtual Grand Prix" then it should have been as close to the standard they could get, with the best drivers they could get. I realise the likes of Vettel, Raikkonen and Hamilton wouldn't be interested, but there are plenty of Formula E, GP2, endurance, GT and W-Series drivers who would probably jump at the chance to take part. At least Sir Chris Hoy is a real life racer and not just a retired track cyclist.
