The Maranello-based team have certainly improved since their disastrous 2020 season. And despite three podiums, they are still not content with the results so far. Hence, Ferrari are going to get upgrades to their power unit to help get to the next level.

As reported by Motorsport, after analyzing the fuel, lubricants & hybrid parts, an increase of 10 horsepower will be achieved through the new updates. Additionally, they will use less fuel to deliver more power due to the high pressure in the combustion chamber.

Furthermore, the new updates will not only have a positive effect on the Scuderia, but also the customer teams. Haas and Alfa Romeo will also benefit from the upgrades, both teams will certainly hope it can deliver better results in the second half of the season.
