Davide Valsecchi wins race 2 at Monza, and pulls away in front of provisional classification, following his main rivals' troubles in Italy.

Valsecchi, who started from 3rd position on the grid, had a clean start and quickly moved in first position. He takes a brilliant win ahead of Fabio Leimer and Jolyon Palmer.

Valsecchi extends his lead in provisional championship classification, as Luis Razia, his main rival, took 16th position after he started 25th following a grid penalty after a collision with Fabio Leimer in race 1. Esteban Gutierrez went off the track in lap 3, while James Calado was only 14th.

The final rounds will be presented in Singapour on 22 and 23 September.
