The post-race interview in the celebration area concluded, and immediately after came the award ceremony.
Due to the tenth anniversary celebration, the award presenters were changed from FIA race officials to provincial and ministerial leaders from Hong Kong and Macao, as well as Dong Licheng, the title sponsor of the Grand Prix.
At this award ceremony, Chen Xiangbei became the absolute star, almost overshadowing the runners-up and third-place finishers.
In competitive sports, the runner-up is often seen as the biggest loser, and a home champion amplifies this effect.
As for the third place, typically, their name isn't even remembered.
But this time, the runner-up and third place have indeed left their names in history.
"Mr. Australia" Motana couldn't hold onto his second place in the last moments, being overtaken by Swedish driver Marcus Ericsson.
