Freddie Slater and Alex Dunne, who will be teammates for Theodore Prema Racing at the Macau Grand Prix this weekend, have both had successful seasons in British racing. Slater set records in the Ginetta Junior series last season, while Dunne achieved unprecedented success in British Formula 4 in 2022. Despite their strong performances at Macau last year, they both fell short of victory and are now determined to succeed in a new car.
Slater is moving up to Formula Regional machinery after an impressive Italian F4 campaign, looking to secure a win at Macau. Despite facing more experienced rivals, Slater is confident and views this as a redemption year. He sees this opportunity as a chance to gain valuable experience for his debut in the Formula Regional European Championship next year.
On the other hand, Dunne is stepping back to the FRECA level after a challenging FIA F3 season. He impressed at Macau last year and aims to build on that performance, focusing on mastering the track rather than the car. Joining the McLaren Driver Development Programme further motivates him to strive for victory.
Both drivers are part of a talented lineup for this year’s race, with competitors like Dino Beganovic also seeking redemption for past disappointments. The presence of F1 junior drivers and F4 champions adds to the competitive field, promising an exciting event where the winner will truly earn their victory.
As Slater and Dunne prepare to take on the challenges of Macau once again, they are determined to make their mark and showcase their talent on an international stage. With the support of their teams and the experience gained from previous races, they are ready to give it their all and aim for the top spot on the podium. The Macau Grand Prix is set to be a thrilling event filled with intense competition and exciting racing moments that fans won’t want to miss.
