Race 2 is starting on Sunday at 10:35. TV Coverage will be provided by Italian National Network RAI.Edoardo Piscopo. “Today has been really intense for me, as it was my first time racing a GP2 Main Series car. In Practice, I lost some valuable time after being hit by another car at Roggia, and I didn't complete all the scheduled work. In Qualifying I didn't run good, but it's better to keep it real while facing such a strong opposition for the first time. I know I can improve on each lap, starting from tomorrow's race 1”.Adrian Zaugg. “Qualifying today has been really difficult. I like Monza a lot, and I raced here on many junior championships. I expected some great results, but a really heavy understeer situation conditioned the session's outcome, which hasn't been great at all. At Monza, comebacks are not impossible but, on the other hand, you need some good performance, especially in straightline speed. I hope I'll have what it takes on  race 1.”
