Britain’s Jake Hughes is the provisional polesitter for the 2019 Formula 3 Macau Grand Prix – FIA F3 World Cup after narrowly beating Germany’s David Beckmann in the first of two qualifying sessions.
Hughes smashed yesterday morning’s unofficial lap record in the process of topping the session, his 2:06.793 time now the fastest ever Formula 3 lap around the Guia Circuit.
It was New Zealander Marcus Armstrong who set the early qualifying pace, a 2:10.154 putting him a 10th clear of SJM Prema Theodore Racing teammate Robert Shwartzman from Russia after the first representative runs.
