Jolyon Palmer targets Monza GP2 win this weekend

Jolyon Palmer is confident he can put the frustration of the last GP2 rounds at Spa behind him and challenge for wins during this weekend's penultimate meeting at Monza.

Last weekend the 21-year-old Brit was in action at the legendary Belgian circuit racing alongside the Formula One World Championship. Faced with severe rain during Friday's qualifying session, Jolyon secured an impressive fifth place for the opening Feature Race.

After a slow getaway, Jolyon was running seventh during the early stages but dropped to P12 when he and his iSport team-mate Marcus Ericcson opted to pit around the same time, causing him to queue behind Ericcson and costing him valuable positions.

There was further frustration when the race was halted for almost an hour following a heavy crash by Ocean's Nigel Melker at Eau Rouge. When the race restarted, Jolyon was immediately on the charge, coming back through the field well until an incident at Turn 1 with Arden's Luiz Razia cut short his race, denying him a likely points finish.

In Sunday's Sprint Race Jolyon was forced to start from the back of the grid but drove a brilliant race to work his way up to 10th - making up 12 places. Jolyon now aims to bounce back during this weekend's rounds 21 and 22 at Italy's famous Monza circuit - a track he's won twice on before. "Monza is one of my favourite tracks and one I have had success at before with a double win in Formula Two in 2010. I'm confident with the car at the moment and we have been showing good pace everywhere so hopefully at Monza I can take a pole, and winning the Feature Race is my main target."

Rounds 21 and 22 of the 2012 GP2 Series get underway at Monza from 7-9 September with full coverage on Jolyon's website www.jolyonpalmer.com. All four GP2 sessions will also be screened live in the UK on the new Sky Sports F1 channel.
