F1 News today as Ferrari’s huge Monza engine upgrade faces its first real verdict — and Kimi Antonelli has delivered a startling assessment after Friday practice at the Italian Grand Prix. Antonelli believes Ferrari have made a major step and that the straight-line speed difference to Mercedes has effectively disappeared. But Lewis Hamilton came out of FP2 worried that Mercedes still hold an advantage where it matters most at Monza. So has Ferrari finally fixed its biggest F1 2026 weakness — or is there still work to do? And controversy erupts off track as Flavio Briatore accuses an FIA appeal judge of links to McLaren after Pierre Gasly’s Monaco podium was taken away again. 👉 Subscribe to F1 Grandstand: https://www.youtube.com/@F1Grandstand?sub_confirmation=1 🔴 ANTONELLI’S STUNNING FERRARI VERDICT Ferrari’s upgraded power unit made an immediate impression as Charles Leclerc led Lewis Hamilton in an FP1 Ferrari 1-2. After FP2, championship leader Kimi Antonelli said Ferrari had taken a real step and that the speed difference to Mercedes had effectively disappeared. Has Ferrari’s Monza upgrade finally delivered? ⚠️ HAMILTON SOUNDS THE ALARM Hamilton sees it differently. Ferrari’s seven-time World Champion finished fifth in FP2 after set-up changes failed to deliver and remains concerned about Mercedes’ top-speed advantage. Antonelli says Ferrari have closed the gap. Hamilton says there is still work to do. Who has the true picture before qualifying? 🚨 BRIATORE ACCUSES FIA JUDGE OF McLAREN BIAS?! Pierre Gasly’s two five-second Monaco pit-lane speeding penalties have been reinstated, dropping the Alpine driver from P3 to P7 and restoring Isack Hadjar to the podium. Briatore accepts the result but has questioned the independence of one appeal judge, alleging links to McLaren. McLaren boss Andrea Stella has strongly rejected the accusations and called the attack on the team’s reputation insulting. Is this simply anger over a painful result — or does Alpine have a legitimate question for the FIA? 🇮🇹 MONZA FRIDAY ROUND-UP Leclerc topped FP1 before George Russell hit back to lead FP2. Russell finished just 0.120s ahead of Leclerc, with Antonelli only 0.021s further back. Norris was fourth, Hamilton fifth and Piastri sixth. Max Verstappen struggled with balance and finished ninth, Leclerc survived a spin, Gabriel Bortoleto suffered an engine concern and Norris was forced onto the grass after a dangerous-looking moment with Lance Stroll. The fight for pole looks WIDE OPEN. 👇 JOIN THE DEBATE Has Ferrari really matched Mercedes on power? Who is favourite for pole? What do you make of Briatore’s FIA accusations?
