Ferrari has confirmed that Charles Leclerc will receive a new engine for the upcoming Italian Grand Prix at Monza, according to a statement from Formula1.com. The upgrade comes after the team’s power unit team, led by chief engineer Marco Rossi, announced a significant performance boost for the 2025 season. Leclerc, who has been a consistent front‑row contender, expressed his excitement, noting that the new engine will give him a “very special” chance to challenge for the race win and the championship points haul.
Leclerc’s teammate Lewis Hamilton also shared his optimism about the upgrade, emphasizing that the team’s engineering progress is a positive sign for both drivers. Ferrari’s decision to deploy the new power unit ahead of the Monza race is part of a broader strategy to tighten the performance gap with the dominant Mercedes and Red Bull outfits. The engine, which incorporates a new turbocharger design and revised fuel mapping, is expected to deliver an extra 10–15 horsepower in the high‑speed sections of the circuit.
Indian fans will be keen to see how the upgrade plays out on the fast Italian track. Monza’s long straights and high‑speed corners are ideal for extracting maximum power, and the new engine could be a decisive factor in the battle for podium positions. Leclerc’s recent performances in the opening rounds have shown that he can capitalize on any advantage, and the Monza weekend may prove to be a turning point in the championship race.
For India, the Italian Grand Prix will be broadcast live on FanCode India, with the race starting at 1:00 PM IST on Sunday, 13th May. Fans can tune in to watch the action unfold and see if Leclerc’s new engine delivers the performance boost Ferrari hopes for.
