YouTuber CaptainSparklez (Jordan Maron), a sports car aficionado, best known for his long career as a Minecraft player, was recently invited by Lando Norris to a Minecraft Twitch Challenge, where he teamed with Norris against Alexander Albon and others. The first game was a sort of race on the ice, but I think they ended up shooting arrows at each other Can we implement this to decide the outcome of F1 championships?
(I like this latest generation of drivers, streaming on Twitch and playing games like normal young men and being generally funny. I stopped following the Vettel-Verstappen-Hamilton trio because I found them robotic. Feel free to contradict me!)
Jordan also acquired the gear to play Assetto Corsa and he's posting his progress here:

Thanks @erwin greven , I didn't know you could embed videos. The little TV in the center of the options above should have been a clue. /facepalm

Max does a lot of sim racing, so I would expect he streams as well.

Normally he does, not last weekend. Btw: since yesterday, i know why he constantly got the driver of the day awards from. The sim-racing community!!! They look at him as being one of them. And really in a manner of: He is a sim racer, and he is also World Champion Formula 1. And not: he is a WC F1 who is a sim racer.

@DoubleFart@erwin greven I hadn't realized there is a sim-racing community with actual F1 drivers. It's not a game I play (I prefer playing Minecraft by myself). I always forget that Max is only 24, like Leclerc. He's been around for such a long time that I instinctively place him in the HAM-VET generation.

Max was racing in the virtual Le Mans 24hr over the weekend.....
