ROC | The F1 drivers involved in the Race of Champions 2019
Sebastian Vettel and Pierre Gasly will take to the track for Germany and France respectively
The Race of Champions will take place in Mexico this weekend, the traditional race that pits the best drivers from the various four-wheel motorsport categories against each other. For this year's edition, Mexico City was chosen as the venue for the event and the race will take place in the very stadium where the Formula 1 Grand Prix is held.
Representing Formula 1 will be Sebastian Vettel and Pierre Gasly. This is certainly nothing new for the German from Ferrari, having participated in the event several times: Vettel managed to win the title dedicated to nations 7 times (6 with Michael Schumacher and once alone) and once the title for drivers (in 2015). In this edition the four-time champion will be joined by Mick Schumacher, with whom he will try to obtain his eighth success for Germany. For the new Red Bull driver it will be the first participation representing the France team and he will be joined by Loic Duval.
However, there are many old Formula 1 acquaintances who will participate in this weekend's Race of Champions. In fact, Esteban Gutierrez, the former Sauber and Haas driver, will do the honors, while Lucas Di Grassi (current Audi driver in Formula E and former Virgin Racing in Formula 1) will represent Brazil and David Coulthard (former Williams, McLaren and Red Bull driver) will take to the track with the colors of Great Britain.
