He began his Formula One Esports career in 2017, making his way into the semi-finals, being placed in the 3rd heat. He finished in 9th in the heat with a best result of 7th from the two races, but was unable to advance to the finals. In 2018, he came back to the series, driving for Mercedes.[5] His season went much better, winning two races, and finishing runner-up in the championship, finishing behind teammate and champion Brendon Leigh.

He stayed with the team for the 2020 season, taking 5 podiums and finishing 5th in the final championship classification and finishing behind teammate and eventual champion Jarno Opmeer. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic F1 Esports drivers and current F1 drivers participated in Virtual Grands Prix, racing each other on the F1 2020 game, where Bereznay won several races.[7]
In 2021, Bereznay made a switch to McLaren, with Bari Broumand and Josh Idowu as his teammates.[8] Bereznay took part in half the races, sharing the second car with Josh Idowu, but scored no points.[9]
