“What I can say is that there will be news and changes and that my full support goes to my son for all the decisions and choices he has made during this period and that he will make in the future to best manage the situation”
Ugochukwu wins Macau qualifying race
McLaren junior Ugo Ugochukwu converted his pole position into victory in a disrupted qualifying race at the Macau Grand Prix.

The McLaren development driver will therefore start on pole for today’s deciding race, ahead of Goethe and Noel Leon.
