Superstar skier Jon Olsson joins Alex Albon for final Virtual GP

11.06.2020: Former skiing sensation and Red Bull athlete Jon Olsson will partner Alex for this weekend’s Virtual Canadian GP, the eighth and final round of the F1 Esports Virtual GP Series.


Former skiing sensation and Red Bull athlete Jon Olsson will partner Alex for this weekend’s Virtual Canadian GP, the eighth and final round of the F1 Esports Virtual GP Series.

 


Jon is a former gold-medal winning skier from Sweden known for inventing several different styles of double flips, and since retiring from competition has gone on to become an award-winning vlogger with over 1.4m YouTube subscribers. He commented, “I’ve been lucky enough to drive some pretty insane cars over the years and I love driving on track although I’ve never tried a sim!!



So, the chance to race a classic circuit is something I’m super amped for. F1 has always been a huge passion of mine and usually I’m watching every single practice session over a race weekend – so I’m loving the experience of being part of Aston Martin Red Bull Racing alongside Alex – I can’t wait for the lights to go out!!”
 


With Formula One returning to action next month on 5 July at our home circuit, the Red Bull Ring, the Virtual Grands Prix will come to an end this weekend at Canada’s Circuit de Gilles-Villeneueve before the real on-track action resumes.
 


You can watch Jon and Alex in action this Sunday 14 June from 18:00 BST with the F1 Esports Pro Exhibition Race kicking off one hour earlier at 17:00.
