FIA ADUO review keeps Red Bull-Ford as F1 engine benchmark
The FIA has published the latest ADUO evaluation for Formula 1 power units, covering races from the Australian season opener through the Hungarian Grand Prix. The findings again identify Red Bull-Ford as the benchmark, with its internal combustion engine rated the most powerful.

The FIA has released the results of its latest Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities (ADUO) assessment for Formula 1 power units. This update reflects analysis from the opening race in Australia through round 11 in Hungary.
Across those findings, Red Bull-Ford remains the reference point in the engine rankings. The governing body’s analysis says the Red Bull-Ford internal combustion engine is currently the most powerful in Formula 1.
The new ADUO results did not deliver the upgrade opening Red Bull had been seeking. The publication of this second ADUO review instead confirmed the existing benchmark status.
