After the result scored in Race 1, when Lello scored the 8th place. The Italian driver started Race 2 at the front of the pack. His getaway was good, but the car behind him had a better jump and that forced him to second place during the whole run. The quick and consistent pace set enabled Marciello to keep the pace without major hiccups. Second place tastes a little bitter though as he was expecting a win after starting from the pole. The result was great anyway and laid good foundations in order to line-up in Austria with more confidence and desire to win. 11 - RAFFAELE MARCIELLO

Final Position:P2Starting Position:P1Tyres compound on grid start: Soft DRIVER's QUOTE: "I'm pretty satisfied with this result. Of course, starting from the pole I expected a clean win but I believe that the left side of the grid had more grip. That enabled me the car at my side to have a better take-off. I'm really satisfied for the improvements made on the car, especially concerning tire wear. Now we will have one free month before lining-up in Austria, so I will work really hard for the next race together with the team. I expect to do well, given the results of both me and the team in the past".
12 - RENE BINDER
Rene's day didn't end up as expected. Following to yesterday's comeback race that enabled him to start from the 11th position, Binder and the whole Team hoped to reach the points zone. Unfortunately though, due to a contact with another car happened in the first few laps, Rene found himself in 15th with a less performing car. As a consequence, he had to defend his position for a long time and to end the Sprint Race in 16th. The Monte Carlo weekend marked a positive weekend for the team thanks to the positive race in which Rene managed to find the right feeling with his car once again.

Overall I'm satisfied with the result we got throughout this weekend. We have been able to showcase our great performance level and find once again the right feeling I got during preseason testing. During the feature race I didn't commit mistake and this is definitely important here at Monaco. Unfortunately, qualifying was a little bit of a lottery given the weather conditions with the track drying up, but all in all I'm satisfied with the work done in this few days"
