Webbah is still leading the D2 championship. That is the good news. It is now almost the only good news he brought home from Monza.
He arrived 29 points clear of Kat and crossed the line first. By the time the verdicts and appeals were done with him, he was tenth, with three points and a championship lead of two. On a weekend when IMS settled three more titles, the driver who began it in the safest position ended it the most exposed.

His appeal established that he had at least tried to repair his first mistake. After hitting Walter at the opening chicane, Webbah waited and returned the place. The stewards cut the contact penalty from ten seconds and two PP to five seconds and one. The other two PP for not providing a POV remained.
That bought him one place and one point. Connor kept ninth by 0.061 seconds. This was not vindication. It was damage limitation.
rbn walked away from his appeal with the result restored in full. The stewards decided Schokolade had not left enough room towards the sausage kerb, removed the three-second penalty and returned rbn to second place. Eight points came back with it.
The contrast was brutal. Both appeals succeeded. One restored a runner-up finish; the other confirmed how little of Webbah’s weekend could still be saved.
Two successful appeals, two very different rescues
Classification points restored after appeal
Kat needed no rescue. Her name stayed at the top while the order behind her was pulled apart and rebuilt. She scored 30 points to Webbah’s three and did not merely reduce his lead. She stripped away the comfort that had come with it.
Monza was kinder to those trying to finish a job. Quenooo secured his second drivers’ championship at the circuit where his IMS career began. His track-limits penalty cost him the D3 victory but never threatened the crown; it also handed kelloggsrule the first win of his IMS career. One decision managed to confirm two milestones.
Mercedes took the D0 constructors’ title without turning a lap. EA service problems forced IMS to cancel Monza and remove it from the division’s season, leaving Williams able only to tie Mercedes on points and lose on countback.
Williams settled the D4 teams’ championship on track and, in doing so, removed the last shared obligation between Higosh and JD. They have four wins each; Higosh leads by 17. McBeth’s unsuccessful appeal kept JD fifth at Monza and preserved that margin. The team trophy is secure. Their championship fight is not.
| Championship | Champion | How it was sealed |
|---|---|---|
| D0 Constructors | Mercedes | Monza cancelled; Williams can only tie and lose on countback |
| D3 Drivers | Quenooo | Second place left a 69-point lead with 64 available |
| D4 Constructors | Williams | The title was secured on track with two rounds remaining |
Two other verdicts will reach well beyond this classification. malyspider’s 24 PP for deliberately crashing out and causing a safety-car intervention triggered an indefinite league racing ban. LeeMI received seven PP during the weekend, including two for not providing a POV, as well as a race ban for his qualifying incident. Reaching 12 PP brings another race ban under the rulebook.
Monza leaves three fewer championships to decide. Ussh carries a 56-point D1 lead to Abu Dhabi. Higosh has 17 in D4. Webbah has two.
He will arrive in front. Kat will arrive having taken 27 points out of him while every revision left her victory untouched. One has the lead. The other has Monza, and all the momentum.
