Merhi wants to return to Macau
Roberto Merhi is planning to contest this year’s Macau Grand Prix, according to Autosport. The Formula Renault 3.5 (FR3.5) title contender was the winner of the 2011 F3 Euro Series before moving to the DTM with Mercedes in 2012–13. He will return to Formula 3 in this weekend’s British round at Spa, in order to follow the Macau Grand Prix regulations. In order to race in the F3 Macau race, every driver must contest at least one F3 race in the current calendar year. Double R team boss Anthony ‘Boyo’ Hieatt said, “Roberto loves F3, he loves Spa, and he’s got a two-month break in the FR3.5 calendar and wants to stay sharp. “He wants to do it because he’s desperate to do Macau, and I’d love to have him in the car there, because I’ve always thought he’s a megastar. And he’s a Mercedes-backed driver, so it ticks all the boxes.”
