Ferrari will introduce a power unit upgrade at the Italian Grand Prix permitted under the ADUO system. Team principal Fred Vasseur stated the development represents a step in the right direction as the season focuses on marginal gains. Monza, a demanding circuit with a close field, represents an opportunity to execute the weekend perfectly and draw motivation from the home crowd. The upgrade is understood to add 15bhp, which will halve the deficit to the Mercedes power unit. This development is crucial for Ferrari, whose chassis is on par with the championship leaders but has been held back by engine performance. Ferrari is also set to run a Michael Schumacher-inspired livery to mark 30 years since his debut. Vasseur noted the emotional dimension of celebrating Schumacher's legacy, highlighting his pursuit of improvement and teamwork as key values. The team is searching for its first Italian GP win since Charles Leclerc in 2024.

Monza is always a very special weekend for Ferrari, added Vasseur, whose team is searching for its first Italian GP win since Charles Leclerc in 2024. Racing in front of our tifosi gives the whole team incredible energy and this year there will be an additional emotional dimension as we celebrate Michael Schumacher and the legacy he has left in our company. His relentless pursuit of improvement, attention to detail and strong belief in teamwork are values that remain key to us today.
