The Prancing Horse was granted two ADUO system upgrades following the initial performance assessment of the season, which covered the first five rounds. The first of these enhancements debuted at the Austrian Grand Prix, where the Scuderia introduced its updated internal combustion engine.

At Monza, the modifications will center on the turbocharger, a well-known Achilles' heel of Ferrari's power unit. While the turbine itself won't be enlarged, its design will be revised, a change expected to yield an increase of approximately 15 horsepower.

According to Auto Racer IT, these 15 horsepower could translate to over two-tenths of a second per lap at Monza. In Baku, another power-sensitive circuit, a slightly smaller gain is anticipated, provided reliability levels are maintained.
