The 2018 Macau Grand Prix (formally the 65th Suncity Group Macau Grand Prix – FIA F3 World Cup) was a motor race for Formula Three cars that was held on the streets of Macau on 18 November 2018. Unlike other races, such as the Pau Grand Prix, the 2018 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 2018 race was the 65th running of the Macau Grand Prix, the 36th for Formula Three cars and the 3rd edition of the FIA F3 World Cup.

The Grand Prix was won by

The Macau Grand Prix is a Formula Three race considered to be a stepping stone to higher motor racing categories such as Formula One and is Macau's most prestigious international sporting event.^[1][2] The 2018 Macau Grand Prix was the 65th running of the event, the 36th time it was held to Formula Three regulations and the third edition of the FIA F3 World Cup. It took place on the temporary 6.2 km (3.9 mi) 22-turn Guia Circuit in the streets of Macau on 18 November 2018 with three preceding days of practice and qualifying.^[3][4]

In order to compete in Macau, drivers had to compete in a 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 drivers placed high up in the rankings of these respective championships given priority in receiving an invitation to the meeting.^[5] Within the 28-car grid for the event,^[6] two 2018 Formula Three champions competed: Mick Schumacher, the Formula Three European champion, was joined in Macau by Sho Tsuboi, the Japanese series winner.^[7] Other drivers entered included F3 Asian Championship runner-up Jake Hughes, ADAC Formula 4 Championship driver Frederik Vesti, GP3 Series racer Callum Ilott, Super Formula Championship competitor Yuhi Sekiguchi, one-time Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters race winner Joel Eriksson,^[6][8] and Sophia Flörsch, the first woman to participate in the race since Tatiana Calderón in the 2014 event.^[9]

Practice and qualifying

Three were two 40-minute practice sessions preceding the Sunday race: one on Thursday mid-morning and one on late Friday morning.^[4] Lap times in the first practice session were two seconds slower than in the 2017 race because of a clean circuit.^[10] Schumacher slipstreamed Ilott to set the session's fastest lap of 2 minutes, 12.168 seconds with two minutes left.^[11][12] Ilott was three-hundredths of a second slower in second. Jüri Vips, Dan Ticktum, Eriksson, Sacha Fenestraz, Robert Shwartzman, Álex Palou, Tsuboi and Hughes were in positions three to ten.^[12] While the session passed relatively peacefully,^[11] traffic delayed some drivers, and Vips damaged the left-rear rim and tyre in an impact with the barrier at Police corner, sustaining a puncture that was replaced in the pit lane.^[11][13]

It was expected that the battle between Ticktum, Ilott and Schumacher would continue into Friday's scheduled sessions.[18] In the second 40-minute practice session, Eriksson led the first 20 minutes until Vips bettered his lap with nine minutes to go and then Ilott improved it four minutes later.^[19] Schumacher then further improved on Ilott's effort with a best time of the weekend at the point of 2 minutes, 10.674 seconds, before a red flag period was prompted for Oyu's crash at Maternity Bend corner, which ended all competitive running with two minutes remaining.^[20][21] Ilott was 0.091 seconds slower in second. Vips, Hughes, Ticktum, Eriksson. Armstrong, Palou, Aron and Daruvala completed the top ten.^[20] Oyu also caused yellow flags to wave after he ran deep onto Lisboa corner's escape road and Ahmed (twice) and Fenestraz did the same; all three participants avoided contact with a barrier beside the track.^[21]

In the second qualifying session, Schumacher locked his tyres and ran onto Lisboa turn's escape road in the tenth minute, brushing a trackside barrier with his left-rear wheel. He then avoided a crash at Dona Maria Bend after his left-rear tyre

Qualification race

The qualifying race to set the grid order for the main race commenced at 13:05 Macau Standard Time (UTC+08:00) on 17 November.^[4][32] Weather conditions at the start were dry and overcast with the air temperature at 23 °C (73 °F).^[33] Ilott tucked into the slipstream of Ticktum and steered to the outside of the Mandarin Oriental bend corner and made a pass for the lead. Ilott maintained it through Lisboa turn despite an oversteer that had him narrowly avoid glancing a trackside wall with his left-rear tyre against as he used Ticktum as a braking point reference.^[28] Eriksson passed Fenestraz for third into Lisboa corner. Other cars slowed Eriksson, and Fenestraz retook the position at San Francisco Bend turn. That lap, Sakaguchi crashed into a barrier at San Francisco Bend turn and retired.^[32] Ticktum remained close behind Ilott and he retook the lead by going to the outside of Lisboa corner.^[28] He began to pull away from the rest of the field and led Ilott by 1.341 seconds by the second lap's conclusion. Shortly after, Katayama made contact with a wall and became the second retirement.^[32][34] On lap three, in the track's mountain section at Dona Maria Bend, a stray dog got onto the circuit, and Ticktum swerved off the racing line to avoid hitting it.^[32][34] A full course yellow flag was implemented and then the safety car was deployed for dog retrieval by track marshals.^[34][35]

At the lap five restart, Ticktum made a fast getaway to maintain the lead heading into the Mandarin Oriental Bend corner, as his teammate Eriksson overtook Fenestraz on the inside at the same turn.^[37] On the sixth lap, Eriksson went to the inside of Ilott and passed him on the approach to Lisboa turn to move into second despite minor contact against a trackside wall. Miyata joined the retirements list ater a collision with a wall at Lisboa corner on lap seven. On that lap, Vesti also retired when he collided with a barrier at the same turn. In the meantime, Eriksson was 1.675 seconds behind his teammate Ticktum at the conclusion of lap six. Fenestraz attempted an unsuccessful overtake on his teammate Ilott at Lisboa turn three laps later. Ticktum increased his lead to 2.247 seconds by the start of the final lap and he subsequently slowed slightly to win the qualification race and begin the main event from pole position.^[32][38] Eriksson followed 1.563 seconds later in second and Ilott completed the podium in third place. Fenestraz took fourth.^[33] A large gap to fifth place was created when Zhou crashed at the Solitude Esses and Hughes took the position and held it until the finish.^[32] Schumacher and Vips were sixth and seventh. Eighth-placed Armstrong led a trio of Premas with Aron ninth and Shwartman tenth. Outside the top ten, Sato fell four from his starting place to eleventh. The final classified finishers were Palou, Habsburg, Sekiguchi, Ahmed, Tsuboi, Daruvala, Leong, Flörsch, Andres, Oyu, Sasahara, Kumita and Zhou.^[33]

Main race

The race began at 15:30 local time.^[4] Weather conditions at the start were dry and overcast with the air temperature at 24 °C (75 °F).^[39] Ticktum maintained his pole position advantage on the run into Mandarin Oriental Bend corner. Fenestraz used his car's four new tyres to overtake his teammate Ilott and Eriksson to advance from fourth to second place on the first lap.^[40] Ilott fell to fifth because he was on a different line into Lisboa turn.^[28] The safety car was dispatched on the same lap as Sato crashed at the exit to Lisboa corner and Palou went off at the turn's entry. Behind Palou, Leong and Andres were caught up in the chain-reaction accident and all four drivers retired due to car damage.^[41] Ticktum held the lead at the restart from Fenestraz in second place on the fourth lap.^[28] Eriksson was close behind Fenestraz; he decided against an overtake into Lisboa corner because he saw erroneously illuminated LED yellow flag lights on both sides of the track.^[28][42]

catch fence and went through it after it absorbed a large amount of impact force. With the speed of her car greatly reduced from the collision, it struck a photographer's bunker backwards with its roll hoop and cockpit, before it was flipped upwards.^[28] The photographer's bunker was heavily damaged by the collision and significantly shifted.^[43][46][47]

Flörsch's car fell onto an armco barrier below the marshal's post and was covered in fire extinguisher foam that had automatically engaged.[45]^[46] Around 40 seconds later, track marshals tended to Flörsch and medical personnel arrived at the crash area half a minute later.^[46] She was conscious and in pain due to a fractured C7 and T3 vertebrae in her upper body,^[45] while Tsuboi had lower back pain.^[48] Three other people sustained injuries: photographer Chan Weng-wang, who stood below the photographer's stand, suffered a liver injury,^[48] a second photographer, Minami Hiroyuki, who was on the left side of the photographer's stand, sustained a concussion,^[46] and track marshal Chan Chak-in suffered a cut face, abrasion of the upper abdomen and a broken jaw. All five were transported to the Conde S. Januário Hospital for treatment.^[48] No one was killed.^[47] Repairs to the barrier, tending to the injured and a track cleanup lasted for more than an hour before racing could resume.^[40][49][50]

At the lap-seven restart,^[49] Ticktum broke away to lead significantly over Fenestraz. Eriksson then slipstreamed and out-braked Fenestraz on the inside to retake the second position at Lisboa corner.^[28] Two laps later, Ahmed crashed at Moorish Hill bend and retired from eleventh place.^[41] The safety car was subsequently dispatched because track marshals required space to extricate his car via a crane. The race restarted on the eleventh lap. Ticktum carried enough speed through the Fisherman's Bend and the Reservoir Bend corners to lead his teammate Eriksson by 0.721 seconds at the lap's end. However, Eriksson slipstreamed Ticktum but only to the extent that he drew alongside the left-hand side of the latter's car going into Lisboa corner's braking zone. Ticktum held his lead on the ideal line and extended his lead to 1.028 seconds at the end of lap 12. He further increased this by 1.513 seconds and by another 0.037 seconds to start the final lap.^[28] Eriksson could not respond to his teammate Ticktum's advantage and the latter crossed the start/finish line to win his second Macau Grand Prix in a row.^{[n 1][29]} Ticktum became the third driver in the history of the race to win it back-to-back after Edoardo Mortara in 2009 and 2010 and Felix Rosenqvist in 2014 and 2015.^[52] Eriksson was 1.208 seconds behind in second and Fenestraz completed the podium in third. Off the podium, Hughes finished fourth, Schumacher fifth and Aron sixth.^[41] Ilott placed seventh after Vips (who overtook him on the final lap) was given a 40-second time penalty for an overtake under red flag conditions.^[28] The final finishers were Armstrong, Shwartzman, Habsburg, Zhou, Daruvala, Miyata, Sekiguchi, Vesti, Oyu, Katayama, Sakaguchi, Vips and Kumita.^[41]

Post-race

The top three drivers appeared on the podium to collect their trophies and spoke to the media in a later press conference. Ticktum spoke of the "perfect weekend" that allowed him to win the race and thanked his team, "I can't really remember a weekend where I've performed so well, and that's not only just me, it's all the people around me, all the support I've had. It's been just the perfect weekend."^[51] Eriksson said that he fell back behind his teammate Ticktum before the safety car was withdrawn and spoke of a "tough race", "The overtake on Sacha was quite tight. But I knew I needed to pass him early in the race to have a chance on Dan, because I knew he was quick all weekend and I had the same speed as him."^[53] Third-placed Fenestraz stated it was the best finish he could attain due to Eriksson and Ticktum's fast pace, "Obviously I wanted the win, but for my second time here it's pretty good. I'm already looking forward to next year. I think I did a really good job. It was going to be hard to beat Dan [and Eriksson]. They were quick all weekend. It's true we had an advantage with the new tyres, but with the red flag and all that stuff you cannot take the most out of it, I would say. I still had a little advantage, but they were [too] fast."^[54]

Flörsch's crash overshadowed the race.^[28] She had an 11-hour operation on her back on 19 November and surgeons removed a bone splinter that was close to her spinal cord. They removed a bone from her hip and used it to form a new hip; a titanium plate was installed to support it. Flörsch vomited from taking painkillers and rendered unmovable for five days as she lost 5 kg (11 lb) of muscle mass and had a large amount of hip ache.^[45] She was released from hospital on 26 November and flew to Germany.^[55] Tsuboi and Miniami were discharged from hospital shortly after while Chan was hospitalised for a ten-day surgery to his lacerated liver.^[56] Flörsch began rehabilitation in early December 2018 to ensure she lost no more muscle strength and to strengthen her body with weights on a gradual scale. She said she remembered everything about the crash, "It probably is a miracle, but that's probably also the reason why I am happy and why I am normal. It happened quite fast – the top speed was 275 km/h (171 mph) – but I can do nearly everything again so, for me, it's just to be happy and to continue to be positive. I remember everything from the crash. It felt just completely different for me because it just happened so fast."^[57]
