Ferrari introduces engine upgrade at Austrian Grand Prix this weekend

Summary

Ferrari will debut its first engine upgrade of the 2026 season at the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring this weekend. This enhancement results from the FIA's ADUO system, allowing teams that fall behind certain thresholds to receive engine upgrades. The initial upgrade is expected to provide an additional 4 to 5 horsepower, though Ferrari's power unit director, Enrico Gualtieri, emphasized that it won't significantly alter the competitive. A more substantial upgrade is planned for the Monza race later this year.
