Overview
- Ferrari confirmed it will run the ADUO‑authorised 067/7 power unit at Monza after completing repeated bench reliability checks, a decision reported by multiple outlets on Friday.
- The 067/7 adds a revised combustion chamber and a larger turbocharger that Ferrari says should deliver about +15 hp and alter torque curves to improve energy recovery and deployment.
- The engine rollout will be paired with a lower‑drag Macarena rear wing variant and exhaust tweaks designed specifically for Monza’s long straights.
- Mercedes will start Kimi Antonelli from the back of the grid after fitting a new power unit, a circumstance Ferrari expects to exploit as it chases points while sitting 87 points behind Mercedes in the constructors’ standings.
- The upgrade was allowed under the FIA’s ADUO process after Ferrari was judged more than 4% behind the benchmark; Shell supplied a bespoke fuel to complement the hardware and teams note ADUO does not measure hybrid (battery/energy) differences.
