61th Macau Grandprix - 2014 FIA F3 Intercontinental Cup

[Monkey Head]

May not be too early to discuss the entry list of the race eve thought there are 2 months to go as plenty of news already revealed (and news which probably conflict about it).

After Berger told to autosport FIA pushing for closer of Macau F3 role we not yet to seen any big changes.However that would be biggest flight on slot for recent years.Downsize from 30 to 28 since last year but we have plenty team announced their plan from different championships:ATS team such as Motopark joining the field making vacancies from existing FIA F3 Euro even more harder.Moreover we have 2 or 3 returnees planning /confirmed for the blue riband race: Merhi confirmed,Da Costa and Sainz received offer from Red Bull and Will Buller's closed to last BF3 race also hinted from Macau Return too.However latest Caterham's offer make changes to Merhi and Sainz?

in current FIA F3 Europe competitors Max Verstappen was the first confirmation on Macau F3 Participation during Red Bull Junior announcement but later on he confirmed as STR 2nd driver ,would it cause his scrap off like what Kvyat did last year?Championship leader Ocon should be leading the field as his last F3 Race.

All-Japan F3 Champion using new 2.0 DSI Engine from last year and that'll be first race to gather new generation engine.6 Cars from 3 teams speculated logged their entry to Bland. BF3/ATS F3 driver Sam Macleod driving for TODA Racing this weekend in Japan mean he has possibility running in Macau F3 with same package .TOM'S may hire foreign driver for Macau one off same as yr 11 and 12 as their japanese proetege has no experience in Macau at all.Would 12 months development time foward make the race different?
