Merhi says penalty not a disaster

Roberto Merhi believes his chances of victory in the Macau Grand Prix have not been dented at all by either his qualifying crash or a three-place grid penalty he has been given. The Spaniard was in strong form throughout first qualifying, delivering a lap that was 1.6 seconds quicker than nearest rival Marco Wittmann to secure himself provisional pole position. But his afternoon took a turn for the worse when shortly after setting that benchmark time he slid into the back of Felix Rosenqvist under braking for Lisboa - putting both himself and his Mucke Motorsport rival out of action.
