Manchester City attacker Sergio Aguero has revealed he will be speeding past virtual Formula One cars this weekend. Aguero, 31, normally will be running past defenders at the Etihad to hit the target, but on Sunday the Man City striker will be on a different course. He will be getting behind the wheel for F1's Esports series, which has featured other sports stars and celebrities.

Alex Albon was the winner at the Virtual Dutch Grand Prix last weekend. "Motorsport is a great passion of mine, so to be given the opportunity to take part in the Virtual Spanish GP is very exciting for me," Aguero said.

"I have travelled to watch F1 races and test myself at track days, which have been exhilarating experiences. "But this takes it to the next level and gives me the opportunity to race and compete against real F1 drivers. I can't wait."
