Predictions/post race discussion Macau F3 GP

John Weed · 30 Sep 2005, 04:22 (Ref:1420556)

I believe it will be between Hamilton (ASM) and De Oliveira (Tom's).
Di Grassi, Vettel, Carbone and Nakajima could be strong contenders also.
I heard Parente is not going because he races A1 GP in Portugal.

Monkey Head · 30 Sep 2005, 04:32 (Ref:1420559)

would Vettel come?
Mucke sport haven't been visit macau and not sure will they come
(even though Red Bull prefer their drivers on there)

for sure lewis and joao paulo is favour but i will put my money on Rossiter if there rain!!

P.S. will we see the lolas and Domes come?

JJ Jet Plane · 30 Sep 2005, 10:05 (Ref:1420721)

Vettel could easily switch to another team – there are often switcharounds for Macau.

John Weed · 30 Sep 2005, 10:51 (Ref:1420767)

last year dome have decided to abort macau due to developments on this year's car. They should go this year, however they are not gonna be as strong as last year regarding driver.

You mention Carbone in there, John.

Is that because of his few years in the category or his prowess around this prticular circuit?

I actually think he's very good and was unfortunate to be dropped by Renault

Although both have had topsy turvy season's, If Dirani or Rossiter are doing it, i think they might be in win a shout as well- nothing like a showpiece event to remind team managers of your skills is there.

Autosport says he will drive for ASM at Macau with discussions continuing between the team and Red Bull for a drive with ASM next season.

really caused by Germany A1 team call-up?

**bella** · 7 Oct 2005, 13:16 (Ref:1426406)

well autosport claims it's because he's going to concentrate on getting a gp2/dtm drive, but i'd say that's as much a possibilty as what they say.

Asa · 10 Oct 2005, 05:31 (Ref:1429089)

I think this year is bad for Macau F3 because A1 GP is on the same weekend in Malaysia.

John Weed · 10 Oct 2005, 11:29 (Ref:1429475)

wowwwwwwwww.. quite a few surprises...
kubica for carlin is a big one
carbone might drive a dallara in macau and will be strong
this is gonna be a tough guess
still I put my cards on Hamilton and Oliveira. Kubica, Vettel, Carbone, Di grassi and Nakajima will be strong too.
hmmmm

moreover Jo merszei is using Mugen-Honda and Micheal Ho using Opel

SFonseca · 10 Oct 2005, 13:42 (Ref:1429599)

Ananda Mikola’s entry had been provisionally accepted but unfortunately this year the A1GP Sepang event will take place over the same weekend. Mikola is driving for the Indonesian Team in A1GP and is therefore unable to race in Macau.

Monkey Head · 17 Oct 2005, 12:17 (Ref:1435923)

wow
just found that Mike Conway replaced Di Resta's place in Manor
a not bad switch

but why mikola still is in the entry list?

Monkey Head · 20 Oct 2005, 02:09 (Ref:1438502)

Dan Clarke will be in for prema powerteam
does he replaceing Franck Perera or Prema entering 2nd car?

P.S.we could know that Jo merzsei joining with Double R in this news too.

Franck Perera is number 11 and Dan Clarke is number 12.
Steven Kane is going to be number 21 and Giedo Van der Garde pull out of the entry list.

Are you sure that Jo Merzsei is going to drive a Double R car?
