Filippi to stay at Coloni for Spa races

20 August 2011

Luca Filippi will continue to race for Coloni at Spa-Francorchamps, with the Italian being granted another weekend at the wheel following his successful outings in Germany and Hungary. The 26-year-old picked up the Feature Race victory and a further podium finish at the Nürburgring, before scoring more points in the following event.

"The team arrives in Spa charged-up and confident that our luck has changed," said Team Principal Paolo Coloni. "The first part of the season was tough, Rigon's injury forced us to change our plans but working hard together we managed to overcome all the odds and clinch some great results.

"I'm very proud of how the team reacted to all the bad luck we had, they deserve to be praised for that. Looking to Spa, we want to be in front, right from Friday. In the last two weekend we missed the pole position just by inches, so now it's time to clinch it.

"We also know that both our drivers have what it takes to win: Luca loves Spa and he already got on the podium there, both in GP2 and Auto GP, while it's worth remembering that Michael took last year's pole position in Belgium."
