Haas explains one-car Ferrari engine upgrade at Italian GP
Haas has only fitted Ferrari’s updated Formula 1 power unit to Oliver Bearman at the Italian Grand Prix. Team principal Ayao Komatsu said why Bearman is the only Haas driver using the revised Ferrari package at Monza.
At the Italian Grand Prix, Haas is running Ferrari’s updated Formula 1 power unit on only one of its cars, with Oliver Bearman receiving the new engine. That leaves the team in the unusual position of splitting its engine specification between its two drivers for the event.
Ferrari is introducing its second powertrain upgrade of the season at its home race. The update is being brought under the latest ADUO regulations, described as Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities for engine manufacturers.
Ayao Komatsu explained the reasoning behind Bearman being the sole Haas driver to use the upgraded Ferrari unit this weekend. The reports state that only one Haas driver can use Ferrari’s latest engine package at Monza.
