The generational relay at Ferrari took shape in Monza, the scene of the coronation of Charles Leclerc and the sinking of Sebastian Vettel. The precise moment on the asphalt came on lap 33, when the Monegasque doubled his garage partner, thirteenth in the finish line and already with 13 points less in the table.

Too much derision for the world four-time champion, with the notoriously dejected gesture to journalists. "A good day for the team and not so good for me," Vettel summed up about his Sunday. One of the most unfortunate since its arrival in Maranello in 2015.

A year after his fateful skating in the Roggia Variation against Lewis Hamilton, who completely frustrated his title options, Seb again made a rookie mistake. "I lost the back. At that moment the race ended for me," he revealed on his top, just ahead of Lance Stroll.

Three points on the license

"That way you can't move. What an idiot!", The Canadian Racing Point launched after the clumsy reinstatement on Vettel's track. Such a maneuver, with which he broke the front wing, was immediately punished with 10 seconds of stop and go .

The commissioners also withdrew three points from his license, so Vettel only has another three margin before being suspended with a career. His only consolation is that within a month he will recover the three lost in the 2018 US GP.

57 points less than in 2018

All these factors are specified in the World Cup classification, where the German falls to fifth place (169 points), just behind Leclerc (182). A year ago, by these same dates, he added 226. Two, 247 ago.

In spite of everything, Vettel seems willing to fulfill his contract, which expires in 2020. "When you are not doing well, when you know you can do better, you are not happy. However, I still do what I love," he slid to the microphones . It remains to be seen if Mattia Binotto, sports chief, Louis Camilleri, executive director, plans to take the floor.
