The penultimate evening of racing in the F1 Esports Pro Series concluded last night, seeing the different drivers competing over two races in a bid for making a championship push. During the broadcast last night, the drivers took to Imola, Italy, and Mexico City, Mexico to rack up points, with each race featuring a unique winner.

The first one at Imola saw FDA Esports Team's David Tonizza take home the win, with Mercedes-AMG Petronas Esports' Jarno Opmeer coming in second, and Red Bull's Frederik Rasmussen finishing up the podium in third.

Jumping ahead to the next race in Mexico City, the victory was claimed by Opmeer this time, with Rasmussen once again in tow, and McLaren Shadow's Bardia Boroumand making up the podium.

With these results, the current championship standings sees Opmeer 21 points clear of second place Rasmussen, heading into the final race of the season later today. With a maximum of 26 points available for the winner, Opmeer pretty much has the season in the palm of his hands at this point, putting a huge task in front of Rasmussen to snatch it away. As for the rest of the pack, Aston Martin's Lucas Blakeley is not in contention for the title anymore, since he is 39 points behind Opmeer, but he has locked in a guaranteed third place overall finish thanks to a pretty successful season.

The final race takes us to Brazil later today. The qualifying will begin at 15:30 GMT / 16:30 CET, with the actual race set to kick off at 19:30 GMT / 20:30 CET. Be sure to catch all the action here.
