Bono Huis has won the Italian GP ahead his Precision counterparts of Jaakko Mikkonen and Mikko Puumalainen. Fourth was Morgan Morand followed by GT Omega Racing’ Dian Kostadinov. Making up 10 places in the race and finishing in sixth was Mak-Corp Racings Dennis Hirrle with Disley, Mirris, De Matos and vd Linden rounding out the point scoring positions.
Mikko Puumalainen took pole ahead of Bono Huis and Morgan Morand. Fourth was Yannick Lapchin with Ward F1 debutant Jim Parisis in 5th. 6th was Jakko Mikkonen with Karim Wezenberg with Dian Kostadinov qualifying in 8th in his World Championship debut. Rounding out the Top 10 were Lee Morris and Patrick De Wit.
Puumalainen held onto the lead off the start, followed closely by two time world champion Bono Huis. The two of them slowly pulled away from Morand who was clearly hampering the progress of finish driver, Jaakko Mikkonen. De Wit was relatively lonely in the race as he didn’t have the pace to hold on with Morand, but also was too quick for Morris, whom had a train of cars all squabbling for position.
Huis spent only 10 laps behind Mak-Corp Raings Mikko Puumalainen, as he passed Puumalainen and maintained the lead for the remainder of the race. Further back, Patel and Saxen battled into the first sector with the pair swapping positions and two laps later Saxen came ontop. Later on that lap, De Wit had yet another retirement in the 2011 season. After Kostadinov passed Morris, the GT Omega Racing driver pulled away a gap back to the group of cars behind Morris, which inevitably saw Dian hold on to 5th in his debut World Championship race.
The first of the stops started around lap 20, with Marcel vd. Linden being the first scheduled stop, Patel and Morris followed him in two laps later. However, the race for Patel went dramatically downhill as the 2Fast4U Twister-Racing driver locked up and went straight on into Turn 1 as Saxen exited the pits, resulting in the Britain getting a drive through penalty.
A spin by Saxen on lap 32 dropped him a number of positions. A few laps later, Jim Parisis lost his front wing and on the same lap Karim Wezenberg retired from the race, after Parisis’ stop, the Ward F1 driver rejoined in last, but closed down Muhammed Patel and the pair battled for the remainder of the race.
Puumalainen, who was running in second with Mikkonen closely following had a slight mistake with three laps to go in the first Lesmo, Mikkonen grabbed the opportunity by passing Puumalainen at the first turn of the final lap. A few seconds behind, Patel was defending from Parisis but the 2Fast4U car had lost its brakes, resulting in Patel helplessly spinning across Turn 1 into the path of Mikkonen and Puumalainen. Luckily no contact was made.
Bono Huis won yet again in 2011 by securing a comfortable 7 second lead over the his two Precision Motorsports teammates which sees Precision getting their second trio podium at Monza.
