While Formula One stars compete in virtual events and various esports series during the COVID-19 lockdown, six-time world champion Lewis Hamilton has been busy racing against himself.

The Briton has been a avid gamer since he was a child and has also been a brand ambassador for the Gran Turismo franchise on Sony's PlayStation.

"I've been working with them the last couple of years and I got to do this challenge, beat my time kind of thing," the 35-year-old said in a Mercedes video interview discussing what he had been up to with real racing on hiatus.
