Highly successful partnership comes to a close.
Seven F1 Esports wins. Seven further podiums. One Teams' Championship. One Drivers' Championship.
The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Esports Team has enjoyed a glittering and trophy laden three-year relationship with Jarno Opmeer. Ahead of the next season of F1 Esports, we wish him well as we part ways.
The 24-year-old began his Esports career with Renault in 2019 before moving to Alfa Romeo in 2020 where he claimed the first of two F1 Esports Drivers' Championship titles.
A year later he joined our Esports stable, collecting his second title in back-to-back years, and helping to deliver a second Constructors' Championship for the Mercedes team. Fifth and fourth places finishes followed for Jarno in 2022 and 2023-24.
Head of Mercedes Esports Oli MacFarlane said: "Jarno has been a huge part of the Mercedes Esports programme over the past three years and has given fans of sim racing so many memorable moments.
"His contribution to the double championship winning season in 2021 is the absolute highlight. We wish Jarno all the best for the future and personally I'd like to thank him for his hard work and dedication."
