VIDEO – Théophile Naël's winning double overtake at the Macau Grand Prix

Third during the final safety car restart of the Macau Grand Prix, Théophile Naël executed a perfectly timed overtake, passing two drivers in the closing moments. After setting the pole position time on Friday, the Saint-Étienne native qualified third in the race, giving him every chance of maintaining his hopes of victory this Sunday.

Although his start wasn't the best on the grid, Théophile Naël didn't let himself fall behind. He managed to stay close to Enzo Deligny, and benefited from Freddie Slater's unexpected retirement, the driver of Formula 3 Having recently signed with Campos, Théophile Naël pulled off one of the most remarkable maneuvers of this year's Macau Grand Prix. Making an outside overtake to the left of Enzo Deligny and Mari Boya, the Frenchman managed to overtake both drivers with a single acceleration. Inclined to move back into the pits before even reaching the braking zone, he saw the safety car make one final appearance of the race. Assured of victory, Naël secured a particularly promising win for the upcoming season.
