Overview
- Kimi Antonelli said Ferrari has been granted ADUO and warned the extra engine work could bring them much closer to Mercedes.
- The first ADUO period will not start by the Miami Grand Prix after the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian races were canceled and the schedule shifted.
- ADUO is a new FIA system that helps any power‑unit supplier more than 2% off the pace with extra development room and targeted hardware changes rather than a full redesign.
- Ferrari believes its main shortfall is engine performance, with weaker energy deployment and internal‑combustion output, and Fred Vasseur says the team will use ADUO to close that gap alongside planned aero updates.
- Paddock reporting points to Audi and Aston Martin as likely candidates to receive help, while Red Bull Powertrains is seen within the 2% threshold and likely ineligible.
