lead, which he was to hold until the flag."I almost crashed with
Imperatori in the first corner I almost crashed with Stefan in the
second corner. I don't know how I ended up fourth as they were so much
faster than me on the straights." said Mortara. "When Engel hit the wall
then we were on the podium. Afterwards it was just a question of
staying cool and focused and to look for opportunities. I had a pretty
brave move at Hospital, but I had to try. It went right. I made a lucky,
lucky, lucky move. One last lap, Danny was pushing very hard. I had to
risk everything on that last corner at Mandarin.""When people say it's
easy for me to win here, I think today you see how difficult it is. This
is probably the nicest victory I have had here and one I will never,
ever forget," added Mortara.As the only man to win the Macao Grand Prix
