Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports Team have signed German talent Simon Weigang for the 2021/22 F1 Esports season.
The 23-year-old started his F1 Esports journey in 2019, leading Renault to a fourth-place finish in his debut season before making the move to Haas, where he achieved his best overall finish in the drivers’ standings last season.

They have shown over the past three years that they are one of the most competitive teams in the esports space and I am so excited to get preparations underway for the new season and show the world what I can do on track.”
Jamie MacLaurin, Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN F1 Esports Team Principal: “Simon is a driver we have monitored for a long time and we believe that, with us, he can develop into one of the strongest drivers on the F1 Esports grid. We had such a successful season in 2020 and Simon must hit the ground running to ensure we remain at the sharp end in 2021.”
