Durango, which was already down to one car at Monza, has issued the following statement announcing that it has chosen to withdraw from the Italian GP weekend entirely:
"Following the serious accident occurred at Spa, which made the car involved unusable, Durango took the decision to enter the Monza GP2 Series event just with one single-seater which would be driven by the fastest of the two drivers, Stefano Coletti.
Two days ago Stefano had a test drive at the wheel of an F3000 car, this test delivering positive results. Consequently the team was ready in Monza for its home race when, yesterday afternoon during the technical scrutineering, Stefano suffered some pain that forced him to give up.
At this point the lack of time made his substitution impossible. Therefore, Durango, the 2008 Monza winning team, has been forced not to enter the 2009 event.
All effort have been immediately focused on the next event in Portimao.
