Ferrari expects that the ADUO system—which allows trailing manufacturers to develop their power units during the season—will help cut its power deficit to Mercedes in half, according to Motorsport’s Italian edition.
Per the source, engine development is focused on increasing combustion chamber output while maintaining a compromise with the chassis. The turbine will retain its reduced diameter but undergo revisions. In Maranello, the team is convinced the engine should not be the decisive factor and is focusing on chassis balance to exploit areas Mercedes cannot address due to the inherent constraints of its power unit design.
