F V8 3.5 – René Binder winner at Monza

If Lotus wins another victory in the World Series Formula V8 3.5 at the end of Race 1 at Monza, this time it can be attributed to René Binder who signs his first success in the discipline. Starting in 3rd position, the Austrian took advantage of the poor start of his teammate Pietro Fittipaldi to gain a place and place himself in the tailpipes of Roy Nissany (RP Motorsport).

Although the Israeli retained control of the race until the checkered flag, he received a five-second penalty for cutting the first chicane and had to settle for second position ahead of Matevos Isaakyan (SMP Racing by AVF ). The Russian took the advantage over his teammate and compatriot Egor Orudzhev who finally arrived in 5th place after losing to Alfonso Celis Jr (Fortec Motorsports).

Pietro Fittipaldi suffered another setback by only taking 9th place. The pole sitter had to pit after the first lap following a puncture. Yu Kanamaru (RP Motorsport) could not even start, the Japanese who had taken 5th position on the grid having suffered a mechanical problem.
