Daniel Juncadella wants Macau Grand Prix repeat

Daniel Juncadella has nothing to prove in Formula Three, but is still doing everything to become only the second driver to win two Macau Grands Prix, even squeezing in extra practice on a computer game at the GP Museum yesterday.

"I've got this one at home," the Spaniard said after another victory, this time digital, over the Guia circuit. It hardly seemed fair on the AI opponents, given that this year Juncadella has won the Formula 3 Euro Series, the FIA European Formula 3 Championship and the prestigious one-off Masters of Formula 3 race, which pits the best drivers from around the world against each other.

Just one race remains before he leaves Prema Powerteam for bigger things, and it's one he wants more than any.

"Macau is the highlight of the year. I've been looking forward to it all year. Even racing for championships, this is the race," he said. "I'm coming here really confident but you have to be realistic, this race is special for every driver and that makes it really difficult.

"We have a good chance to be in the top five, top three and hopefully, with a bit of luck, we can win it again."

To do that, Juncadella will have to emulate Edoardo Mortara, who won back-to-back titles (2009 and 2010). Back in Macau to defend the City of Dreams Macau GT Cup he won last year, Mortara will have no problem if his achievement is matched.
