贝尔曼:法拉利ADUO 2引擎升级对哈斯并非“改变格局”
奥利弗·贝尔曼表示,法拉利ADUO 2引擎升级相比哈斯更新的F1底盘只是“小得多的一步”,并未带来显著性能提升。法拉利通过额外研发与升级机会系统推出2026赛季第二次也是最后一次动力单元升级,其中一套在意大利大奖赛交给哈斯使用。

奥利弗·比尔曼表示,法拉利的ADUO 2引擎升级相比哈斯更新的F1底盘只是“小得多的进步”。
跃马借助额外发展与升级机会(ADUO)系统,推出了2026赛季第二次也是最后一次动力单元升级,其中一套动力总成交给了哈斯车队,用于意大利大奖赛,并被安装到了贝尔曼的赛车上。
这支美国车队取得了些许进展,这位年轻的英国车手排位赛名列第12,这是他自3月中国大奖赛以来的最好成绩。然而,哈斯在蒙扎仍然遭遇了连续第七站颗粒无收,追平了自2021年那个糟糕赛季以来最长的连续不胜纪录。
贝尔曼在开场几圈曾短暂占据第八位,但随后由于跟不上阿尔派和小红牛的节奏而在名次上不断下滑。由于他没有在虚拟安全车期间进站,最终在格子旗挥动时仅以第15名完赛。
法拉利车队领队弗雷德·瓦塞尔此前已明确表示,ADUO 2动力总成不会成为改变局面的法宝,贝尔曼在排位赛后也对此表示认同。
“这比之前的(空气动力学)升级包的进步幅度要小得多,可以这么说,”这位21岁的车手评论道。“当然,在这条赛道上会多带来一些优势,但就整个赛季的平均水平而言,说实话,如果我们在赞德沃特就用上这台引擎,也不足以让我们摆脱晋级第一阶段(Q1)的争夺。我不认为它是一个改变局面的东西。
“当然,更多动力总是好事,但你已经看到了关于它带来多少提升的报道。它肯定有益处,但最大的进步是那个(空气动力学)升级包,它带来的收益是引擎动力提升的两到三倍——这证明了车队努力工作的成果,我真的、真的为他们感到骄傲。”
哈斯车队为蒙扎准备的升级包括经过重新设计的底板,以及侧箱和引擎盖部分修改过的车体部件。虽然没能用上新的动力单元,但奥孔确实受益于新的空气动力学部件,不过在第二阶段(Q2)中他仍然比队友慢了十分之七秒。
然而,这并不意味着法拉利的新引擎价值十分之七秒,因为这位法国车手受到了VF-26空气动力学表现不稳定问题的困扰——他认为本赛季至今13场大奖赛中有10场都被这个问题所困扰。
当被问及排位赛之后赛车的不稳定性是否比练习赛有所改善时,奥孔回答道:“没有,很遗憾没有好转。我们竭尽全力,把车库里的所有部件都装到了车上。我们已经做了能做的一切,但还是没有找到问题的根源。
“很遗憾,和奥利相比,我们的下压力损失仍然很大,尤其是赛车尾部。这显然不理想,但技师们为此付出的努力非常了不起。
“而且我对自己的飞驰圈是满意的,你知道,毕竟我觉得自己跑出了很强的一圈,我对此感到高兴。但下压力的差距加上引擎的损失,在这里损失是相当大的。所以这已经是我们能做到的极限了。”
至少这位老将可以从空气动力学升级件在另一辆赛车上的效果中得到一些安慰:“那些升级件在奥利那边确实起作用了,是的,有效的。”不过两辆车仍然都排在奥迪之后,而这家德国制造商在车队总冠军积分榜上只落后五分。

Ferrari’s ADUO 2 upgrade is no “game changer” for Haas either
Oliver Bearman insists Ferrari’s updated power unit didn’t provide a significant performance gain

Oliver Bearman says Ferrari’s ADUO 2 engine upgrade represents “a much smaller step” than Haas’ updated Formula 1 chassis.
The Prancing Horse introduced its second and final power unit upgrade of the 2026 season, courtesy of the Additional Development and Upgrade Opportunities system, with one such powertrain handed to Haas for the Italian Grand Prix. It was fitted to Bearman’s car.
There was slight progress for the American team, as the young Briton qualified 12th, his best result since the Chinese Grand Prix in March. However, Haas still endured a seventh consecutive point-less round at Monza, equalling its worst streak since its 2021 write-off.
Bearman briefly held eighth place in the opening laps, but subsequently slipped back down the order as he couldn’t keep up with the Alpines and Racing Bulls. Having not pitted under the virtual safety car, he ended up down in 15th under the chequered flag.
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur had made it clear that the ADUO 2 powertrain was not going to be a game changer, and Bearman agreed after qualifying.
“It's a much smaller step than what the [aero] upgrade was, let's say,” the 21-year-old commented. “Of course, there's a bit more in this track, but in terms of a season average, it wouldn't have been enough to get us out of the fight for Q1, to be honest, if you put that engine on us in Zandvoort. I don't think it was a game changer.
“Of course, more power is always nice, but you've read the news about how much it is. It's definitely beneficial, but the biggest step was the [aero] upgrade, which was more than twice or three times the amount of power we got from the engine – which is testament to the team's hard work, and I'm really, really proud of them for that.”
The Haas upgrade for Monza featured, among others, a revamped floor and revised bodywork on the sidepods and engine cover. While missing out on the new power unit, Ocon did benefit from the new aerodynamic parts, but still ended up seven tenths slower than his team-mate in Q2.
However, that does not mean Ferrari’s new engine is worth seven tenths, as the Frenchman suffered from the VF-26’s aero inconsistency – an issue that he believes to have plagued him at 10 of 13 grands prix so far this year.
Asked after qualifying if the car’s inconsistency was any better than in practice, Ocon replied: “No, it wasn't, unfortunately. We tried everything we could, taking all the bits in the garage to put it on the car. We did everything that we could, but we didn't get to the bottom of the issue.
“Unfortunately, we're still losing a lot of load compared to Ollie, especially on the rear of the car. It's not ideal, clearly, but the guys did a mega job by trying that.
“And I was happy with my lap, you know. At the end of the day, I feel like I did a strong lap, I was happy with it. But the deficit of downforce plus the engine losses, it's quite a lot around here. So that's the max that we could have done.”
At least the veteran could find solace in the aero upgrades’ efficiency on the sister car: “They worked on Ollie’s side, yes, they did.” But both cars still finished behind the Audis, with the German brand just five points in arrears in the constructors’ championship.
