Haas to run Ferrari engine upgrade on only one car at Monza
Haas will have only one of Ferrari’s upgraded Formula 1 engines available for the Italian Grand Prix, and it will be used by Oliver Bearman rather than Esteban Ocon. The team is also bringing a new aerodynamic package to Monza, with those updates set to be fitted to both cars.
Haas heads to the Italian Grand Prix in an unusual position because only one of its drivers can use Ferrari’s upgraded Formula 1 engine. The available unit is the ADUO2 version, and Esteban Ocon said he will not receive it at Monza.
Instead, the upgraded Ferrari engine will go to Oliver Bearman. That creates a split within the Haas line-up for the weekend, with only one car running the new power unit specification.
Alongside that engine situation, Haas is introducing a new aerodynamic package for Monza. Team principal Ayao Komatsu announced the update ahead of the race, and the aero changes are set to be fitted to both cars.
