Daniel Abt suspended by Audi for cheating in Formula E

Formula E driver Daniel Abt was suspended by Audi after admitting to hiring a professional gamer to drive for him in the esport version of Formula E.

“Integrity, transparency and consistent compliance with applicable rules are top priorities,” said Audi, adding that “For this reason, Audi Sport has decided to suspend Daniel Abt.” The driver has also been fined €10,000.

He became suspicious after finishing 3rd place, even though previously he did not score any points in the esports series.
