Marinescu beats Brundle to pole

Mihai Marinescu edged out Alex Brundle to secure his first pole position of the season at Monza. Having finished second fastest in both practice sessions, the Romanian built upon his strong opening to set a 1m40.071s, which was enough to earn him his best qualifying result of the year. "I'm very happy about it and very pleased that it's happened right here at Monza which is a very special place for me," Marinescu said.

Marinescu claims maiden win

Mihai Marinescu claimed his first ever F2 win at Monza, while Mirko Bortolotti all but wrapped up the 2011 title by finishing runner-up. Starting from pole, the Romanian lost the lead to Alex Brundle on the run down to the first corner but retook it one lap later heading into Turn 1 and from then on was never seriously challenged. "I've done a lot of things differently since Austria, starting with the preparation for the weekend itself and then a different approach to the whole weekend," Marinescu said.

Melker wins first Valencia race

Nigel Melker took his fourth F3 Euro Series win of the season with a lights-to-flag victory in the first of three races at Valencia. The Mucke Motorsport driver started from pole and resisted stern pressure from his team-mate Felix Rosenqvist and Roberto Merhi for the duration, eventually crossing the line 0.7s clear. In a processional race, the only real moment of drama came at the first corner.
