Ferrari to Run ADUO‑Approved 067/7 Engine at Monza

The team says the revised combustion chamber and turbo, paired with a low‑drag wing and new Shell fuel, are intended to cut its straight‑line gap to Mercedes.

Overview

  • Ferrari confirmed on Friday that it will debut the ADUO‑authorised 067/7 power unit at the Italian Grand Prix in Monza.
  • The 067/7 features a revised combustion chamber and turbocharger that Ferrari engineers project will add about 15 horsepower and change torque delivery.
  • Repeated bench reliability tests cleared the unit for track use after sign‑offs from the engine group led by Enrico Gualtieri.
  • The power‑unit change will be used with a lower‑drag 'Macarena' rear wing, blown‑exhaust tweaks and new Shell fuel to maximise straight‑line speed, and Mercedes will start Kimi Antonelli from the back of the grid due to a separate power‑unit penalty.
  • The upgrade uses FIA’s ADUO process, which granted Ferrari two in‑season homologations after it was measured more than 4% behind the benchmark, and it is intended to help close an 87‑point constructors’ deficit to Mercedes.
