WHAT: F1 Esports Pro Series Grand Final Media Conference Call (via Zoom)

WHEN: Monday 14^th December – 3pm GMT

Ahead of the F1 Esports Pro Series Grand Final on 16^th-17^th December, F1 Esports pundit Nic Hamilton and title contenders Jarno Opmeer (Alfa Romeo), Marcel Kiefer (Red Bull), and Nicolas Longuet (Renault Vitality) are taking part in a media conference on Monday 14^th December. The Grand Final will see drivers battle it out at Suzuka, Mexico City and Interlagos.

Racing driver and F1 Esports pundit Nic Hamilton, brother of seven-time world champion Lewis, will be on hand to discuss his thoughts on the F1 Esports championship ahead of the Grand Final. Nic has been a feature of the in-studio analysis team from the beginning of the season, presenting live from the Gfinity Arena.

Dutch driver Jarno Opmeer has been top of the Drivers’ Championship since his win in the first race of the season and is currently totalling 153 points. Red Bull pairing, Frederik Rasmussen and Marcel Kiefer are not far off the top with 134 and 121 points respectively. Rasmussen claimed victory at Spa in Event 3 so will be looking to build on that success and push Opmeer all the way to the end.

Renault Vitality’s Nicolas Longuet has also had a great season and is currently sitting in fourth place on 88 points. Longuet secured the top spot on the podium at Silverstone in Event 3 and will be keen to finish this season on a high.

There is a total of 78 points up for grabs going into the Grand Final so it is all still to play for.

The Teams’ Championship is delicately poised with Red Bull currently leading the way on 255 points and Alfa Romeo close behind on 223. Both teams will be wanting to claim every point possible as they vie for the record $750,000 prize pot.

Conference call schedule:

Nicolas Longuet: 15:00 – 15:15

Jarno Opmeer: 15:15 – 15:30

Marcel Kiefer: 15:30 – 15:45

Nic Hamilton: 15:45 – 16:00

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

Lee Fryett, Middlesbrough FC Chief Commercial Officer, added:

“We’re delighted to welcome Midnite as our new Principal Partner.

“We’re looking forward to working closely with Midnite to develop engaging campaigns, content and unique experiences that bring our fans even closer to the club.

“We’re confident this partnership will provide real value for our supporters while supporting our ambitions both on and off the pitch.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

ThrillTech said it has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to offer its side-bet jackpot technology to regulated online casino, sports betting, and lottery operators in Ontario.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.
