Ferrari's Charles Leclerc claimed a second victory in the Formula One Esports Virtual Grand Prix championship, marking his Shanghai win by cooking pasta.

Leclerc started on pole on Sunday and finished ahead of Red Bull's Alex Albon and Guanyu Zhou, who races in Formula 2.

"I'm actually enjoying very much playing, and streaming. And I enjoy it even more when I win," tweeted 22-year-old Leclerc who also has two wins in the real F1 world championship.

"But the post-race celebrations are somehow feeling a bit different.

"Switching off the computer and go cook white pasta is a bit less glamour than spraying champagne on the podium."
