Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the President of the FIA, the management committee of motorsport, sugged up social media in the future of Formula 1 last week to examine a variety of technologies, and expressly mentioned the possibility that V-10 engines with sustainable Fuel are operated.
“We should consider a number of directions, including the Roaring sound of the V-10 Run with sustainable fuel, ”said Ben Sulayem. “Selected which direction, we have to support the teams and manufacturers to ensure cost control for F&E expenses.”
His comments followed the F1 75 start event in London on February 18, a special meeting for the 75th anniversary of the sport and presented the drivers and cars for the coming season 2025. The event triggers discussions about the long -term vision of F1, said Ben Sulayem in his post.
Interestingly, his comments are based on the comments F1 CEO Stefano Domenicalithe previously interested in researching alternative solutions for the current hybrid performance units.

F1 will introduce a sustainable fuel from 2026, which coincides with a new era of 1.6-liter V-6 hybrid performance units of turbos. The new engines are simplified by removing the MGU-H (which recovered the exhaust gas energy), while the MGU-K (which is regulated under braking energy) delivers up to 469 hp compared to today’s 160 hp. Despite these changes, the total output will still exceed 1,000 hp, an improved fuel efficiency reduces the racing consumption of £ 220 to £ 154.
While current F1 cars are among the fastest in history, some fans and stakeholders argue that they lack the sound and visceral excitement earlier V-8, V-10 and V-12 engines. V-10 engines were approved from 1989 to 2005, with most teams being 3.0-liter V-10 players in the past decade.
In view of the upcoming arrival of the new era, even if he is approved, a Return of V-10 engines in F1 Would probably be the earliest for a few years – if no decade.
