Content:	McLaren Shadow has strengthened its F1 Sim Racing line-up with the addition of 19-year-old Jake Benham, marking a significant move in the ongoing shuffle of esports talent during the offseason. Benham arrives at McLaren after a successful three-year stint with Mercedes-AMG Petronas Esports. During the 2025 season, he made six appearances, securing two podium finishes and placing in the top five three times — performances that were instrumental in Mercedes clinching third in the Teams Championship standings. “I’m delighted to have joined the McLaren Shadow F1 Sim Racing Team,” Benham shared. “It’s an honour to be getting the opportunity to work with such a prestigious team, and I’m looking forward to getting started at MTC. The environment and atmosphere within the Shadow team is brilliant and will provide the perfect platform for me to continue to develop and achieve success.” In addition to his F1 Sim Racing experience, Benham is a two-time World Online Racing (WOR) champion, bringing a blend of consistency and competitive pedigree to his new team. At McLaren Shadow, Benham will team up with established sim racers Alfie Butcher, a former race winner, and Wilson Hughes, a two-time Premier Sim Gaming League (PSGL) champion. The trio will represent McLaren in the upcoming F1 Sim Racing season. '''More:'''[[News/Tripods Disbanded\|Tripods Disbanded]] Benham’s move comes amid a wave of roster changes across the F1 esports landscape. McLaren recently saw the departure of Lucas Blakeley in May, and Mercedes has now lost two drivers this month — with Benham following Hungarian driver Dani Bereznay out of the squad.
