But not only Race 1 gave back Kevin the podium stolen in Suzuka, as on Race 2 in Sunday morning, Ceccon secured third place thanks to an amazing overtake at the outside of Mandarin corner, one of the most iconic and at the same time difficult of the track, against Esteban Guerrieri’s Honda.

“This double podium in Macau is very important for me as last year I started from the first row after Suzuka’s win, but I couldn’t finalize the result. After a disappointing Japan penalty, I wanted to reward the team with a podium, and being twice third in a Lynk&Co branded weekend is a superb result. Despite is true their team order helped us in Race 1, in Race 2 we legitimized our performance on track. With this car, once we fixed our problems, we have always been competitive and I feel very comfortable, and is the reason why I want to thank all Team Mulsanne and Romeo Ferraris for the support received”.
