British star crashes out while challenging for Macau GP lead
British racing star Freddie Slater faced a disappointing end at the Macau Grand Prix this weekend as he crashed out while contending for the lead. Despite dominating the Formula Regional qualification race, Slater’s hopes for a double victory were thwarted during the main event on Sunday.
Throughout the Macau GP weekend, Slater battled for the lead with Mari Boya, with the Spanish driver initially pulling ahead at the start. Despite regaining the lead after a safety car period, a subsequent crash involving Oscar Wurz allowed Boya to regain his position and ultimately overtake Slater.
Sadly, Slater’s race came to a premature end when he collided with the barriers at the R Bend, effectively eliminating his chances of victory. Despite the setback, Slater showcased his skills and potential and is set to transition to the Formula 3 championship next year with Trident.
