Rich Kids want to spend their money on the right place (Like ART) , as soon as ART is fully Booked then potential drivers look at other options than GP3

Lando Norris will miss the F3 practice. Couldn't he fly direct to Hong Kong from Frankfurt and save a few hours waiting in Beijing?

Good news for Norris: Mclaren cancelled the tyre test in Brazil due to security concerns.

Live streaming.

Sérgio Sette Câmara was fastest in first practice.

Lando Norris took part so he arrived in time. Ryuji Kumita crashed just before Donna Maria.

Lando Norris took pole position for the qualifying race on Saturday.

Pedro Piquet and Maxmillian Gunther are second and third on the grid.

Lando Norris' pole position effort was certainly impressive, almost a second clear of his nearest rival.

With only 14 tyres for the whole weekend and a high degradation surface, some were more sparing with the use of new rubber. Norris was (apparently) one of few who used new rubber at the end after a delay for barrier repairs..

He was also one of the few to get a flying lap in at the end before the session was cut short with a final red.

That is not to detract from what was regardless a super lap.

sounds like team lando played an absolute blinder. looks like rain is forecast for saturday, and if you’re looking at at least one wet session then that’s less pressure on your new tyre stash isn’t it?

Yuhi Sekiguchi should not have been allowed to the Macau F3 GP, he has two seasons in Super Formula.

Yes, it’s funny how when the mega-rich Canadian turns up and spends millions on F3, funding development and other drivers, and pays an F1 team more millions to train him up and make him look good he gets a lot of flak.

But if a mega-rich British boy does the exactly the same, funding all sorts in F3 including a separate test team and including paying an F1 team to ONLY do short qualifying runs on ultra-soft tyres to make him look good at a rare and valuable official test day nobody mentions it.

I do think he is better though

only in cars derived from and similar to f3 cars. can't remember the exact wording but the rules can be found on the fia website. those rules don't restrict a driver from running in anything else.

it's not uncommon for drivers to have parallel test programmes though. not when they've got a few quid to spare.

He did a large amount of F3 testing in 2015 and 2016.

But this year they ran a separate F3 test team with Dennis driving. Plain car, truck and shirts, but can’t hide the people...

I think all fairly common knowledge. And must be expensive!

Not really actual , that is what the rule says

22.5 Any testing or race in which a competitor entered in the Championship uses cars which were designed to comply with the FIA F3 Technical Regulations of the day (whether or not they are in full compliance with those regulations), will be deemed to fall under the jurisdiction of Article 22 of these regulations.

22.6 From December 18 2016 no driver entered in the Championship may race or carry out any type of private testing, with any type of car, on any circuit (or any part of it) being part of the Championship calendar (including the official tests).

huh, i stand corrected. i could have sworn it was worded to deal with the formula master mules that prema were keen on running previously, even if 22.6 is wooly enough to cover that kind of effort.

Not only here. All over McLaren's mouthpiece news network.

Today it will be fun. Remember the opportunity in Macau often comes in disguised in the form of misfortune.

Sadly the grid is short and became shorter.
