During a recent interview, Andrea Kimi Antonelli confirmed that Ferrari will benefit from the ADUO.
The new Formula 1 season began under Mercedes‘ dominance, with three wins in the first three races, four including the Sprint Race in China. The German team’s superiority is evident, but it leaves room for some interpretation. The forced break in April, due to the conflict in the Middle East, will allow many teams to develop important updates, also counting on the Federation’s granting of the ADUO.
On this last point, Andrea Kimi Antonelli actually gave away more than a few things. In an interview with Sky Sport F1, he spoke about the competition this way: “I know there will be some big changes; including the ADUO that was granted to Ferrari, for example, which will allow them to develop the engine. They will certainly get very close, because their car is already strong, so if they can also improve the engine, they will get even closer.
But I’m not too worried. Ultimately, once I get on track, I’ll focus on doing what I’ve done in the past weekends: trying to go as fast as possible, focusing on myself and focusing on what I have to do, on the goal that is set each weekend. I’m also sure that we will bring some pretty significant updates: the car is already strong and there’s a great dynamic in the team, so I’m not too worried, but I know that the other teams will catch up sooner or later.” “.
