Rickk116 won Monza's E2 race from third for McLaren. BBLDRiZZY6523 finished second after starting on pole, and that result was enough to move the VCARB driver into the championship lead.
Tullo_Formula1 rose from sixth to third for Ferrari, giving the podium three teams and three distinct grid stories. The winner gained two places; the new points leader lost one.
Monza installs a new points leader
BBLDRiZZY6523 sat first on 44 points after Monza, three ahead of LimitlessDraco3 on 41. A runner-up finish had become the championship's most consequential result.
VCARB also took the constructors' lead, reaching 66 points to Red Bull's 53. BBLDRiZZY6523's P2 therefore changed both E2 championships even though Rickk116 won the race.
The useful result sits one step below the winner
Monza's E2 result is a reminder that a championship weekend can have more than one protagonist. Rickk116 claimed the top step; BBLDRiZZY6523 left with the position everyone would chase in Singapore.
E2 entered its third event with different names attached to the latest victory and the championship lead. The hierarchy remained unsettled, which was precisely the point.
