WITH Manor Motorsport finalising their plans for next year’s Formula One campaign, the on-track action switched to South-East Asia where the Dinnington team went close to claiming a top-six finish in the Macau F3 Grand Prix.

Manor's Robert Merhi challenged hard in Sunday’s race but an unfortunate spin for the Spaniard prevented him from delivering the result both he and the team deserved—which left team boss John Booth saying: “It summed up our year.”

Merhi’s hopes of a top result ended following his spin. He was classified 17th in the end, a lap down on the leaders.

Team principal John Booth said: "It's been hard work, but the team produced a great effort and Roberto was unlucky not to finish in the top four or five due to his spin.

“He raced strongly and was quick but, ultimately, there was no reward at the end which sums up our year in Formula 3.”
