Joshua Dürksen roared to victory in the F2 Sprint Race at Monza, beating John Bennett, who started from reverse grid pole position.
Oliver Goethe rounded out the podium places in the Italian Grand Prix support race at the Temple of Speed, with Noel Leon and Nikola Tsolov completing the top five.
Martinius Stenshorne, Alex Dunne and Laurens van Hoepen also scored points, with those covering the top eight finishers.
Dürksen also secured the extra point for posting the fastest lap in the 21-lap race, which was twice interrupted by safety cars.
First, championship contender Rafael Camara, who will start the Feature Race from pole, spun after the first chicane and could not get his Invicta Racing car going again.
Then, later, Roman Bilinski spun his DAMS Lucas Oil machine, hitting the wall and also going into retirement.
