Sergio Perez took another fighting victory from 14th on the grid to take his third win of the British F3 International Series season at Monza.
Esteban Guerrieri took his, and his Ultimate Motorsport teams, best British F3 finish in second with Atte Mustonen in third while Jay Bridger became the latest winner in the National Class as Andy Meyrick failed to score any points in Italy. Hywel Lloyd finished off a great weekend for himself and his CF Racing team with second place from the back of the grid while Kristjan Einar scored his first podium of the season and gave his Carlin Motorsport team something to cheer about.
As the 28 cars filed out to the Monza grid for the second race of the weekend, the rain that had been the overriding feature of the event started to fall on the back of the circuit. The track was dry for most of the lap and the teams sent their drivers out on slicks. As the lights went out Max Chilton got a great start from pole position to lead into the first corner with Matteo Chinosi slotting in behind the 17-year-old Hitech driver.
At the first corner everyone held their breath as the field filed around the chicane but in the middle of the field Sam Abay spun. However, the rest of the grid missed the spinning Aussie who rejoined further down the field.. The cars sped away down to the next chicane, with Federico Leo becoming the first casualty of the race, his Ombra Racing Dallara stopping at the second chicane.
