One genuinely new Ferrari item in today's batch, and it slots directly into the PU conversation from the last few briefings.

Ferrari is preparing to use the ADUO (Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities) — but hasn't actually been cleared to use it yet. The FIA hasn't sent Maranello any official green light. The process works like this: FIA technicians will compile a formal ranking of ICE power outputs after the Miami GP (round 4), and only then will the official ADUO allocations be confirmed — with the announcement expected after Monaco. So Ferrari is doing the prep work, getting their development package ready, but the official unlock is still weeks away.

Why this matters: ADUO tokens are allocated to teams whose power units are ranked as less powerful than the benchmark. If Ferrari qualifies — and given the Mercedes dominance in the first 3 races, that feels likely — they'd receive additional development opportunities to close the gap on the straights. The irony is that Ferrari deliberately made PU trade-offs to suit their aero philosophy, as covered here recently. ADUO would give them a chance to claw back some of what they gave away, without having to unpick those fundamental design choices.

The timeline to watch: Miami for the power ranking, Monaco for the official FIA announcement. If Ferrari gets the tokens, whatever upgrade they've been quietly cooking up becomes deployable.
