Andrea Larini edges Tonio Liuzzi in Monza Superstars practice two

Andrea Larini topped the times in the second International Superstars Series practice session at Monza, with Tonio Liuzzi making it a Mercedes one-two ahead of today's qualifying session

Larini jumped to the top of the times mid-session with a 1m55.798s lap, a time that proved good enough to be the benchmark for the second session. However, his time was still 0.7 seconds slower than the best time set by Francesco Sini in free practice one earlier on Saturday.

In Larini's wake there was a late flurry of activity. While BMW driver Thomas Biagi spent much of the session in second place, Audi's Johan Kristofferson jumped right behind Larini with a 1m56.466s lap in the dying minutes. But he was bumped to third place just seconds later by ex-HRT Formula 1 driver Liuzzi, who clocked a best time just 0.06s quicker than Kristofferson.

Biagi wound out the session fourth, ahead of Max Pigoli (Jaguar) and Mika Salo (Maserati).

Practice one pacesetter Sini led the second session early, but fell to 17th at the end having only completed five laps.
