Tiago Golovko Rodrigues (Chinese: 帝雅戈·洛迪古斯; pinyin: Dìyǎgēluòdígǔsī; Jyutping: Dai3 ngaa5 gwo1 lok6 dik6 gu2 si1; Portuguese pronunciation: [ti.ˈa.gu ʁu.ˈdɾi.gɨʃ]) (born 19 June 2007), more commonly known as Tiago Rodrigues, is a Macanese racing driver who is currently competing in the F4 Middle East Championship with Evans GP.

[1] Rodrigues participated in the X30 Senior Macanese Championship at Coloane Karting Track [zh] for the first time in 2022.

Rodrigues geared up in the Establishment of the Macau SAR Cup, finishing second in the Pre-Final and won the Final race.

Rodrigues failed to win again as the Macau racer Marcus Cheong continued to extend his lead.

[9][10] Rodrigues claimed his championship trophy for 3rd position in the AAMC Prize Presentation Ceremony on 26 January 2024.

[12] In round 1, Rodrigues topped the qualifying session[13] which meant that he would start from pole position in the Pre-Final.

Rodrigues crossed the finish line first, but he received a 5-second penalty due to causing a collision and classified 3rd.

Rodrigues would be leading the Final for most of the time, until he was overtaken by the Hong Kong racer Liao Yan Yik and his teammate Marcus Cheong.

Rodrigues crossed the finish line third, but classified second due to a penalty given to Liao Yan Yik because of a false start.

However, his teammate Marcus Cheong, who qualified for pole position, had an engine failure of his kart and could not start the following races.

He stated that it wasn't really hard to win because most of his competitions had had very tough races and had some difficult circumstances to deal with, during a post-race interview.

Rodrigues took the lead of the race at the final corner of lap 8, but mistakenly missed turn one and placed himself at the runoff area, dropping him down to fourth.

Rodrigues initially finished third in the Final, but was given a 5-second time penalty due to an incorrect position of front fairing.

The final round of the championship was held as one of the competitions in the Macau International Kart Grand Prix.

[21] Rodrigues would initially participate in the KZ class in the second weekend of the 2024 Macau International Kart Grand Prix.

[25] The fourth round of the year at the Zhuhai International Circuit would see Rodrigues take his second pole position, yet he failed to convert it to a win as he finished behind Xu Yingjie, Hu Chengru, and Patrick Tsang.

[26] In round five, Rodrigues was crowned as the champion of the F4 Chinese Championship with 33 points ahead of the Hong Kong racer Liu Kai Shun.

By winning the championship, he was invited to the 2023 FIA Rally & Circuit Prize Giving Ceremony which was held in Baku.

[28] He would finish on the podium in all three races that weekend at the Zhuzhou International Circuit and placed himself on the top of the driver's championship.

[29] Rodrigues didn't participate in the remaining rounds at Sepang International Circuit to save the budget for the Formula 4 UAE Championship in the following year.

During the first race of round 2, Rodrigues had a good start from 14th to 10th but then had collisions with Alvise Rodella, who was his teammate, and Jules Caranta.

Rodrigues made collisions again in the penultimate lap, with his teammate Liu Kai Shun, from Hong Kong.

He would start from 7th in race 3 but collided with Deagen Fairclough on the last lap when fighting for 4th position which made him finish 26th at last.

[38] For the fourth round of the season in Yas Marina Circuit, Rodrigues first qualified 19th for race 1.

He was announced to join the fourth round of the championship at Sepang International Circuit with Evans GP.

His momentum was not enough to convert another podium-finishing position as he concluded the race in fourth, behind his Australian teammate Cooper Webster.

On 9 October 2024, Rodrigues was announced to set his Formula Regional debut with Evans GP in the Macau Grand Prix.

[47] Rodrigues stated that he wouldn’t focus much on expectations as it was pointless, but the job he had to do in order to achieve the best result as possible.

[49] Rodrigues dealt with more mechanical issues during the first qualifying and retired from the session as he went to the escape road next to the Lisboa bend, finishing in 27th.

It would be great to finish in the top ten since there are many racers with much experience in Formula Regional, and some of them are part of the junior academy of F1 teams.
