The 2013 Macau Grand Prix (formally the 60th Star River-Windsor Arch Macau Grand Prix) was a motor race for Formula Three cars that was held on the streets of Macau on 17 November 2013. Unlike other races, such as the Masters of Formula 3, the 2013 Macau Grand Prix was not a part of any Formula Three championship, but was open to entries from all Formula Three championships. The race itself was made up of two races: a ten-lap qualifying race that decided the starting grid for the fifteen-lap main race. The 2013 race was the 60th running of the Macau Grand Prix and the 31st for Formula Three cars.

The Grand Prix was won by Theodore Racing by Prema driver Alex Lynn from pole position, having won the event's Qualification Race the previous afternoon. Lynn led every lap of the main race to take victory and became the seventh driver to have clinched victory in the Grand Prix for Theodore Racing. Second place went to the race's defending champion António Félix da Costa, competing for Carlin, while the podium was completed by Fortec Motorsport driver Pipo Derani.

Entry list

In order to compete in Macau, drivers had to compete in an Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA)-regulated championship meeting during the calendar year, in either the FIA Formula Three European Championship or one of the domestic championships, with the highest-ranked drivers in those series given priority in receiving an invitation to the meeting.[1] Within the twenty-eight car grid of the event, three of the four major Formula Three series were represented by their respective champion, Raffaele Marciello, the FIA Formula Three European champion, was joined in Macau by British champion Jordan King and Japanese series winner Yuichi Nakayama. German Formula Three title victor Marvin Kirchhöfer did not partake in the event and so the highest-placed German series participant at Macau was fifth-placed John Bryant-Meisner.[2] Dennis van de Laar was confirmed as a late replacement for European Formula Three driver Mitchell Gilbert at Mücke Motorsport who could not raise the necessary capital to compete in Macau due to poor results.[3] Ed Jones and Nelson Mason, both European F3 Open Championship winners, replaced Félix Serrallés and Sandro Zeller; Serralés was replaced after his run of poor results in the European Championship.[4]

Seven drivers who mainly competed in other series outside of Formula Three in 2013 also became eligible for the Macau race meeting: GP3 Series title contender Daniil Kvyat could not attend as he was at the United States Grand Prix testing for Toro Rosso and was replaced by António Félix da Costa,[5] the defending winner of the event.[1] Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 race winner Esteban Ocon and GP3 Series victor Carlos Sainz Jr. were announced among the lineup of drivers on the grid[2][6] – Ocon to wait until his main series campaign had concluded before sealing his eligibility;[6] Félix da Costa, Ocon and Sainz sealed their eligibility by competing in the MotorSport Vision Formula Three Cup, a second-tier Formula Three series in the United Kingdom, in its season-ending round at Snetterton.[6][7] Three-time 2013 GP2 Series race winner Stefano Coletti and Kevin Korjus of the GP3 Series partook in the season-closing European Formula Three round at the Hockenheimring to prepare for Macau.[8] The two other drivers who qualified for Macau were Formula Renault 3.5 Series racer Jazeman Jaafar who won two races at the Brands Hatch round of the British championship and Super GT competitor Yuhi Sekiguchi whose participation in the Masters of Formula 3 race allowed him to partake in Macau.[9]

Report

Background

The Guia Circuit, where the race was held.

The 2013 Macau Grand Prix was the 60th running of the event and the 31st time the race was held to Formula Three regulations.[10] It took place on the 6.2-kilometre (3.9 mi) twenty-two turn Guia Circuit on 17 November 2013 with three preceding days of practice and qualifying.[10] In April, the FIA single-seater commission president Gerhard Berger hinted to the press that the race would not have vehicles running with the more powerful 2013-specification engines from the All-Japan Formula Three championship due to a lack of space in the cars and reliability concerns.[11] The FIA World Motor Sport Council confirmed at a meeting at Goodwood House on 28 June that all engines installed in the cars had to be of 2012-specification.[12] After the deaths of touring car driver Phillip Yau and motorcycle rider Luís Carreira in support races the previous year, organisers installed crash protection fences for safety reasons.[13]

The Macau Grand Prix was started in 1954 by local car enthusiasts Fernando de Macedo Pinto, Carlos da Silva and Paulo Antas as a treasure hunt around the territory's streets.[14][15] Shortly after, it was suggested that the hunt's track could host a professional race for local motoring enthusiasts.[16] The race was first entered in the FIA's international motor racing calendar in 1960 and the regulations were amended to allow sports and grand touring cars to compete. The Grand Prix attracted further exposure amongst professional racing teams following the victory of Mauro Bianchi in the 1966 edition.[16] Formula Pacific regulations were introduced in 1974. Nine years later, organiser Barry Bland decided that since the category was becoming obsolete, the race would be held to Formula Three rules after a plan to run with Formula Two cars fell through.[17] This decision has seen the Grand Prix's reputation in the motorsport world increase rapidly; it attracts the best young drivers from around the world,[14] and they consider Macau a place where reputations are forged.[18] Macau is also considered a stepping stone to higher class racing categories such as Formula One,[19] and has been termed as one of the most "prestigious" motor races by the media.[20][21]

Practice and qualifying

Two practice sessions were held before Saturday's qualification race. The first session, held on Thursday morning, lasted 45 minutes, while the second identically timed session, took place on Friday morning.[1] Alex Lynn set the fastest time for Theodore Racing by Prema in the opening practice session—held in variable weather conditions—with a lap of two minutes and 14.495 seconds, 0.061 seconds faster than any one else at the track. His closest challenger was Félix da Costa in second in front of third-placed Coletti and Mücke Motorsport's Felix Rosenqvist in fourth position. Alexander Sims was fifth-fastest, ahead of Jaafar. Tom Blomqvist, Marciello, Lucas Auer and Korjus rounded out the session's top ten drivers. Sainz was the first driver to go off the track on the slippery track and rebounded off the Fisherman's Corner barriers with his car's rear-end. His teammate King understeered into the same barrier eleven minutes later, while Rosenqvist crashed at San Francisco Bend on dirty tyres after running wide at Lisboa turn. Three other drivers—Sekiguchi, Lucas Wolf and Sun Zheng—failed to record a lap time as a consequence of encountering incidents during the session.[22]

Felix Rosenqvist (pictured in 2016) was the early qualifying pace setter and went on to finish second in the qualification race.

The qualifying period was split into two sessions; the first was held on Thursday afternoon and ran for 40 minutes with the second held on Friday afternoon and lasted 30 minutes.[1] The fastest time set by each driver from either session counted towards his final starting position for the qualification race.[23] The first qualifying session had Rosenqvist come out on top with a late lap time of two minutes and 12.751 seconds. He achieved this effort despite not slipstreaming any other car and recovered the lost time through the final sections of the track. Rosenqvist ended up 0.111 seconds faster than Félix da Costa with Sims a further three-tenths of a second in arrears in third place.[24] Harry Tincknell finished the session in fourth place with Pipo Derani following in fifth having held the lead of first qualifying in the opening minutes. Sainz ended up sixth in front of Coletti and Marciello with Korjus and Jaafar—who was forced to abort his fastest time because of red flags—rounding out the top ten. Auer was the fastest driver not to reach the top ten although he was fourth in the early stages of qualifying before other drivers improved on their best efforts.[25] Following him were Blomqvist, King, with Giovnazzi provisionally joining the latter on the seventh row. Sekiguchi was next up ahead of William Buller, Nakayama, Ocon, Katsumasa Chiyo and Nicholas Latifi. The rest of the order was completed by Bryant-Meisner, Mason, Jones, van de Laar, Sean Gelael, Lynn and Sun.[24] Wolf did not compete a lap time during qualifying because of the damage sustained to his car in the first practice session.[25] Lynn crashed his car at Fisherman's Bend in the opening minutes of qualifying which was temporarily halted to enable marshals to push his car into a safe location. The session ended early with one minute and 37 seconds remaining when Nakayama broke his suspension in a heavy impact with the wall at Solitude Esses corner.[25] Nakayama was unhurt.[24]

In the second 45-minute practice session, Jaafar was quickest multiple times during the session until Korjus set a lap time of two minutes and 13.870 seconds which made him the fastest driver and ultimately held it to the conclusion of practice.[26] Blomqvist followed 0.063 seconds adrift in second place. Carlin teammates Jaafar and Tincknell came out in third and fourth places respectively while Lynn recovered from his poor first qualifying form to set the fifth-fastest lap. Two more Carlin drivers: Sainz and Félix da Costa placed sixth and seventh with Sims in eighth. Buller and King completed the top ten ahead of second qualifying.[27] Five drivers damaged their cars during second practice: King made light contact with the barriers at the Police Bend but rejoined after a replacement front wing was installed on his car. Auer struck the wall at the same turn with the left-hand side of the car and he caused the session to be stopped. Coletti's impact was harder but his vehicle was extracted from the circuit by a crane. Marciello did not continue after going deep at the Melco hairpin as he felt unsafe reversing. Chiyo's left-front corner was loosened from contact with the barriers lining the track.[27]

In the second qualifying session, the session was red-flagged soon after it started: Chiyo crashed at San Francisco Bend but the stoppage was short-lived as course workers worked swiftly to get running back under way.[28] Lynn bettered Rosenqvist's benchmark first qualifying lap and recorded the fastest time which was suppressed soon by Derani.[28][29] A second stoppage occurred when Sun and Mason crashed at Moorish corner just as Blomqvist went quickest. No driver managed a timed lap as Giovinazzi went into the barrier at Paiol turn, causing the third (and final) red flag.[28][30] When the session restarted, Rosenqvist took provisional pole before Marciello denied him the position with a time of two minutes and 11.555 seconds.[29] Rosenqvist slipstreamed other cars but was cautious in the final two turns as he was confident of pole position. Lynn was one-tenth of a second adrift in third place. Auer moved up from his provisional grid slot to start fourth despite stalling in the pit lane.at the third restart. Félix da Costa's effort in second qualifying dropped him to fifth while Blomqvist improved to sixth. His teammate Derani took seventh. The top ten was completed by Carlin runners with Jaafar leading Tincknell and King. Behind them the rest of the field lined up as Sims, Buller, Korjus, Sainz, Ocon, Latifi, Coletti, Sekiguchi, Wolf, Giovinazzi, Nakayama, van de Laar, Byrant-Meisner, Gelael, Mason, Jones, Chiyo and Sun.[30] Jaafar, Nakayama and Jones each received penalties after second qualifying; Nakayama and Jones were demoted to the back of the grid for changing their engines while Jaafar dropped five places for a yellow flag infringement.[28]

Qualifying race

The qualifying race to set the grid order for the main race started on 16 November at 14:00 Macau Standard Time (UTC+08:00).[1] Weather conditions at the start of the qualifying race were dry and sunny with an air temperature of 23 °C (73 °F) and a track temperature at 39 °C (102 °F).[31] On the grid, pole sitter Marciello was slow off the line and fell to fifth in quick succession.[32] Rosenqvist made a fast getaway and took the lead only for Lynn to slipstream up behind him and took the place around the outside of the Mandarin Oriental Bend. In turn, Rosenqvist then slipstreamed onto the back of Lynn heading towards Lisboa corner and reclaimed first position as Lynn was forced to run deep and go wide, narrowly avoiding a collision with the barrier.[33] Further down the field a safety car caused by a startline crash neutralised competitive racing. Blomqvist stalled and his rear was impacted by the slow-starting Tincknell, littering debris across the track.[32][34] Van de Laar's race ended prematurely as he stalled on the grid. All cars were instructed to drive through the pit lane since marshals were needed to remove the two stricken cars from the circuit.[34]

The race restarted at the end of lap three with Rosenqvist being forced to defend first place from Lynn after losing traction in his tyres from driving behind the safety car.[34] Lynn steered to the outside of Rosenqvist going into Lisboa corner and turned in to take the lead. Félix da Costa overtook Auer for third on the run up to Mandarin Oriental Bend,[35] and Auer lost a further place to Marciello at Lisboa turn.[33] Auer then crashed heavily into the barriers at San Francisco Bend while defending from Derani, ending his race early.[34][35] Soon after Jones hit a bump going off the racing line at Fisherman's Bend and made contact with the wall. Yellow flags were waved in the area but were withdrawn after he was removed from the circuit. Up front Lynn continued to lead Rosenqvist while Félix da Costa was being hounded by Marciello for third. Meanwhile, King was battling Sims for fifth with Coletti, Buller and Ocon running in close formation in a duel over sixth. Mason was handed a drive-through penalty after his team started his engine while stationary in the fast lane of the pit lane.[34] Sims managed to get ahead of King for fifth and began closing up to Derani. Buller overtook Coletti while Sainz passed Korjus for eleventh.[36] Marciello moved in front of Félix da Costa heading towards Lisboa corner on the fifth lap for third.[35]

Marciello set what was at that point a new fastest lap of the race as he drew closer to Rosenqvist. Ocon could not resist a challenge from Sainz and lost tenth while the struggling Jaafar was overtaken by Korjus on the next lap. Mason was black-flagged as he opted to continue racing and not take his drive-through penalty.[34] Rosenqvist concentrated on not allowing Marciello get close to him while Félix da Costa and Derani waited to capitalise on any mistakes. Sainz gained a further place by overtaking Coletti for ninth. Giovinazzi battled Gelael for seventeenth which ended in the former's favour. Giovanazzi then gained a further place by getting ahead of Wolf for sixteenth. Coletti lost ninth to Ocon in the race's closing stages while Korjus pulled to the side of the track at Fisherman's Bend with smoke bellowing from his engine.[34] Lynn opened up a two-second advantage over the rest of the field to win the qualification race and pole position for the Grand Prix itself.[36] He was joined on the front row by Rosenqvist while Marciello completed the podium in spite of being caught by the former as Rosenqvist felt a loss in tyre grip.[35] Behind the two, Félix da Costa followed with Derani in fifth. Sims, King and Bulller were in close formation for positions six to eight and Sainz and Ocon completed the top ten. Coletti, Jaafar, Latifil, Sekiguchi, Giovnazzi, Wolf, Gelael, Nakayama, Chiyo, Bryant-Meisner, Sun, Mason and Korjus rounded out the 23 classified finishers.[31]

Main race

The race began at 15:30 local time on 17 November.[1] The conditions on the grid at the start of the race were dry and sunny with an air temperature of 24 °C (75 °F) and a track temperature of 29 °C (84 °F).[37] Three drivers took penalties: Korjus was demoted places because of him changing engines. Tincknell was required to start from 27th place as he was adjudged to have caused the collision between himself and Blomqvist. Mason joined Tincknell because of him ignoring his drive-through penalty which was attributed to a faulty radio.[38] Lynn maintained his pole position advantage heading into the first corner while Derani made a quick getaway to move into second.[39] Ocon stalled on the grid but later got moving.[38][39] As the field drove down towards the fast Mandarin Oriental Bend some bumping occurred. This caused Rosenqvist to hit the barriers lining the track and broke his suspension after battling with Marciello for the ideal line.[38][40] Marciello's car sustained damage but continued racing with an oversteer.[35] Soon after, Auer pushed Bryant-Meisner off the racing line and the latter crashed into the wall as a consequence. Gelael spun trying to avoid hitting Bryant-Meisner and this caused Auer to plough into him.[38] These sequence of events forced Bryant-Meisner, Gelael and Auer to retire from the Grand Prix.[39]

I can't really put it into words - I've dreamed of winning this race ever since I came here for the first time. Since I finished third last year all I've wanted to do is win it, and I can't believe I've done it. I think I had quite a lot of understeer in the qualification race and Marciello was a lot quicker than me in the last corner in that race. I thought I'd have to battle my way back through after being passed at the start or a restart. The gap between me and Antonio kept coming down and I just thought 'hang on, hang on,' and I did it in the end.

Alex Lynn, on winning the 60th Macau Grand Prix.[41]

Giovnazzi spun at the Melco hairpin but recovered. The safety car's deployment was necessitated to allow for the clear up of the track. At the end of the first lap, Lynn led from Derani, Félix da Costa, Marciello, Sims, Coletti, Buller, King, Sainz and Latifi.[38] At the restart, Lynn held the lead and Derani was passed by Félix da Costa on the outside line at Lisboa corner.[42] Sims lined up an manoevure on Marciello but realised the move could not be completed and eased off. King fell to ninth when Sainz overtook him.[38] Lynn increased his lead to two seconds in the following laps.[39] Marciello attempted to force his way through Derani but the latter resisted his attempts at being overtaken. Sainz moved in front of both Coletti and Buller but the two drivers retook their lost positions. Marciello made it past Derani's who made his car wide at Lisboa corner to take over third place.[38] On lap seven, Coletti and Buller collided, causing the latter's retirement but the former restarted racing in spite of losing positions as a consequence of being forced to spin into the escape road.[35][39] The main beneficiary of the incident was King who moved to seventh. Both King and his Carlin teammate Jaafar passed Sainz after a battle for sixth position ended. Sun spun off at Fisherman's Bend and this prompted the brief waving of localised yellow flags.[38]

Maricello was pushing hard but lost control of his car at the R Bend and collided heavily with the barriers. He retired from the race and this relieved the pressure off Félix da Costa who made use of the situation to close the gap to Lynn.[38][39] Sims was running strongly but backed off at about lap ten as a result of an engine temperature sensor problem which he corrected by short shifting and pulling out of Derani's slipstream.[35] Félix da Costa reduced the deficit to Lynn to just over one second with four laps to go.[42] He got this gap down to 1.3 seconds under yellow flag conditions for Wolf's stranded car at Lisboa corner,[38][39] but could not get close to affect an pass on Lynn who maintained the lead for the remainder of the race to become the seventh Macau Grand Prix winner for Theodore Racing.[41][43] The previous year's winner Félix da Costa finished second, 1.173 seconds in arrears, while Derani completed the podium in third place. Off the podium, Sims finished in fourth position.[42] The highest-placed rookie King led Carlin teammates Jaafar and Sainz in the next three places.[35] Blomqvist came from the back of the field to finish eighth with Latifi ninth. Ocon recovered from his stall to complete the top ten. Outside the top ten, Sekiguchi was eleventh and led fellow countryman Nakayama in twelfth. The British pairing of Buller and Tincknell followed in 13th and 14th with Chiyo, Giovinazzi, Mason, Van der Laar, Jones, Wolf and Korjus the last of the classified finishers.[39]
