Dušan Borković je pobedio u najopasnijoj uličnoj trci u Makau, što je prva srpska pobeda na FIA Svetskom prvenstvu. Srpska himna odjekivala je u Kini, a Dušan je ušao u istoriju
Chinese dynamism and innovation. Still, nothing can beat Cantonese cui- sine! I tried some authentic dishes and am certain that you won’t ex- perience Cantonese food anywhere better than at its source. I couldn’t resist visiting one of the city’s most impressive symbols: Canton Tower. This 604-metre-tall tower provides spectacular views of the city, and I think we proved a perfect fit for one another, given that I’m the tall- est professional racing driver in the world, at 207 cm tall! I enjoyed the view from the top and can say that Guangzhou won me over. Its combi- nation of tradition and modern sky- scrapers really leaves an impression, and it seems from the top that the whole world is at your fingertips. Guangzhou isn’t only a tourist gem, but also a leading hub of trade. As one of the key contributors to the Chinese economy, this city provides the ideal opportunity to cooperate with Serbia. I’m delighted that we’re now separated by just a single flight! Air Serbia and me It was more than a decade ago, or 11 years to be precise, that Air Serbia and I embarked on our in- ternational travels. It was difficult back then to even imagine that a Ser- bian driver would conquer circuits the world over, just as the national airline didn’t then have the kind of network of destinations it has today. But here we are, 11 years on – con- quering the world together, me be- hind the wheel and them with the wings that serve to connect me and my team to all racing destinations. We’ve travelled the world together throughout all these years – and es- pecially Europe, America and Asia, where we’ve mounted world podi- ums together on multiple occasions. The Air Serbia crew welcomes me aboard every flight like a friend; like someone whose racing mission has become part of their own story. That feeling of belonging and support is something that has meant a lot to me – it’s been easier to leave behind everything that’s familiar at home in the knowledge that Air Serbia is alongside me and my team.
