Red Bull Ford Powertrains has emerged as the benchmark in Formula 1's first ADUO period, prompting the team to request a review of the results before they are made public.
Formula 1 manufacturers received initial ADUO results during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend. Audi and Ferrari have already introduced power unit upgrades on track while the FIA awaits final verification requested by Red Bull-Ford.

Aston Martin Formula 1 power unit partner Honda will bring only one power unit improvement this year despite having two ADUO upgrade tokens available.
Audi's Formula 1 team is grappling with persistent power unit shortcomings, particularly poor race starts, as acknowledged by team principal Mattia Binotto. In the Japanese Grand Prix, drivers Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg dropped several positions off the line despite solid qualifying. Binotto emphasized that no short-term miracles are possible, even under the FIA's ADUO framework.
