George Russell used a dominant display to cruise to victory in the virtual Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday.
The virtual edition was held the same day that the famous race through the streets of Monte Carlo was slated to be held before being canceled by the coronavirus.
Russell, who races for the Williams team, quickly assumed the lead at the start and led the remainder of the 39-lap race. He finished 39 seconds ahead of second-place Esteban Gutierrez's Mercedes to win his second straight virtual race.
Monaco resident Charles Leclerc finished third, approximately 15 seconds behind Gutierrez.
Alex Albon was fourth and Arthur Leclerc (younger brother of Charles) placed fifth.
Pietro Fittipaldi, Lando Norris, Nicholas Latifi, Louis Deletraz and David Schumacher rounded out of the top 10.
The actual Monaco Grand Prix had been run annually since 1955 prior to this year's cancellation.
Earlier Sunday, Arthur Leclerc won the F2 virtual Monaco Sprint Race.
