Felix Rosenqvist is trying to keep his feet on the ground as he jets halfway across the world to defend his Macau Grand Prix Formula Three title.

The 25-year-old is due to arrive in the enclave on Monday evening as he attempts to become the first-ever three-time winner of Macau’s marquee Formula Three event – and his mad-dash across the globe began in the early hours of Sunday morning, not long after the Swede had raced his way into third at the Marrakesh Formula E race.

“It’s been a year since I raced in F3, but we did some testing and it feels good so far,” Rosenqvist said before racing in Morocco.

“Having won the race two times, I can only really have one goal going into it this year, but I also know how treacherous it can be. There are so many things that can go wrong in Macau, and you need that little bit of luck along the way if you’re going to win it.”

Sunday’s result was Rosenqvist’s first podium finish in the fledgling electric series, and came after he had made his debut for the Mahindra Racing team at the Hong Kong ePrix last month, finishing 15th.
