Ferrari must decide if it will run updated F1 engines in Monza this week after ADUO results

Ferrari must decide by the end of this week whether to use updated engines in next week's Italian Grand Prix. The team has assembled two new power units for Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, featuring around 15 more horsepower. The decision is complicated by testing delays and strict regulations. Ferrari aims to reduce the performance gap to Mercedes, but victory is not the primary goal. The Italian GP will be crucial in establishing the engine hierarchy after recent adjustments.
