F3 – Da Costa: “The most beautiful victory” in Macau

Antonio Félix da Costa dominated the 59th edition of the Grand Prix F3 of Macau by winning the qualifying race and the Grand Prix in a masterful manner. The new protégé of Red Bull has already distinguished himself on numerous occasions this season by taking third place in the GP3 Series with Carlin and winning no less than four events in Formula Renault 3.5 Series within the Arden Caterham team. Starting from pole in the main race, the Portuguese took the lead again from the Swede Felix Rosenqvist who had overtaken him and managed to maintain the advantage until the checkered flag.

" I remain speechless ", recognized the winner who succeeds Daniel Juncadella. “This win here is just incredible. I was at the limit all the time, completing the 15 laps without making a single mistake and I am absolutely overjoyed. The last two laps were really intense. It’s the best victory of my career so far. I would like to thank the Carlin team and Volkswagen for this superb victory. »
