This has been dramatically revised for Monza, to keep the balance with the similarly modified front wing. It features a high position for the main profile and a very narrow flap, which has a very low angle to reduce drag as much as possible on the long straights.

At last week's pre-Italy test at Monza last week, Ferrari introduced a number of aero changes specific to this unique low-downforce track, the fastest on the Formula One calendar. To guarantee a sharp front-end turn-in into corners, two clearly visible horizontal winglets have been added to the side of the nosecone (blue arrow). The small amount of downforce these generate aerodynamically stabilises the front of the car approaching corner entry. Of course, the front wing has also been altered, adopting a single flap with a reduced section. Here it is contrasted with the high-downforce wing used in Hungary.
