It's a penalty for sure but for an incident before a race that penalized to the next race.

Nice.

Antonelli's inexperienced, overzealous mistake cost Ferrari at least 6 points (potentially 8-10) in the WCC fight with Mercedes, which is now a 12 point gap.

In recent seasons, Ferrari has been in a WCC battle with either Mercedes or McLaren down to quite literally the final race of the season. We saw the impact of Sainz's crash and Piastri's cheat rear-wing at Baku during the 2024 season, with these marginal points swings (due to bad luck / events beyond Ferrari's control) ultimately costing Ferrari WCC battles.

Given we are setting up for a similar situation in this season (battling Mercedes in the WCC), seeing similarly unfortunate points swings feels like deja vu. An absolute shame.

The Piastris wing was perfectly legal at that time.

No, it absolutely was not. Per the rules, ANY deflection/opening of the letter-box/DRS window is strictly prohibited when DRS is not activated. Because McLaren passed pre-race load tests does not eliminate that clear, black-and-white, objective stipulation.

It was not a grey-area, not by any means, and the fact the FIA acted immediately to prohibit such rear-wing deflection and stated any cars in violation during future sessions would be disqualified - all while leaving the door open for the front-wing flex - says everything. The FIA, and pretty much the sport at large, came out stating that this was a clear and obvious rule violation.

But..........any..........does not mean.........ALL

And i about the reasons why the gap hasnt changed.

The point gap didn't change because both DNF'ed.

Lapse in judgment at the banked turn 2 for both drivers.

Turn 3 you mean.
Lapse in judgement by one driver.
Leclerc was taken out by Antonelli, he didn't make any judgement error.
In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't matter - 0 points is the nett takeaway. But it was unforced error by only one driver, not both.

Both drivers. You have to give allowance for rookies. My boy Charles didn't this time. It's why he wasn't too mad at the situation. He just sat there pondering whatever he was pondering.

What could Leclerc have done to avoid Antonelli driving into the side of his car? Should he have teleported away?

Colapinto did the same move on Hülkenberg, who just gave up the spot (and thereby another one). There would have been room on the outside for Leclerc to do so as well - but it obviously can't really be expected.

Anyway. Looking forward to see the team being competitive to McLaren in Monza?

Vassuer seems to be hiring old buddies from Sauber to “strengthen” the aerodynamics department!

Ferrari bringing a really skinny rear wing (more than usual) for Monza

Before the break, Ferrari had planned a "tailor-made" job for Monza in a tight timeframe. No need to create too much hype about a wing, but visually it will be something very distinctive: if used, when viewed from the front with the trim, it will have a truly minimal footprint

[PlatinumZealot]

A skinny wing is expected. I presume the engine will be new and will have an extreme mapping for this race. The ERS also will be refreshed with a punchier KERS motor.
