I think some motor manufacturers would actually welcome the return of a normally aspirated V8 motor. They would be much cheaper than hybrids to develop and much less complex. Toyota have made their desire for “normal” engines very obvious. I’m amazed that Indycar has gone down the hybrid route as they already run on alcohol based fuels.
@SF7PAKISTAN Says:
Bro fuck no, bring back V12s. We've already seen what the Cosworth V12s can do in the T.50
@wraitheful Says:
As a person who doesn’t like going backwards, producing noise sb on the builder. V8’s & 10’s were outdated then as they are now and they’re not necessary for noise; no manufacturer is going to make the investment on tech they’re trying to leave behind.
@MrAl2742 Says:
This regulation could also be a small step towards an even newer future redesign, they could consider many of the following changes: v angle (60, 72, 90), engine layout (i4, i5, i6, ,vr6, v6, v8, v10, v12, w12), forced induction (na, turbo, twin turbo, compound turbo, supercharging, twin charging), valve control & number (vvt, vvl, camless, 4+), engine & piston material (cgi, other new/exotic alloy, steel, forged, cast), compression ratio (any), fuel injector (number, number of holes), spark plug (number or none at all, material), transmisson (cvt, dct). I think there's actually many design changes that could be provided towards the manufacturer to design the engines that they would like, and also engine design evolve constantly (1900s i4 were quite rightly different than 2020s i4).
@aromaticsnail Says:
Basing their decision on sustainable fuels? Unless they plan to gaslight everyone, those "sustainable" fuels will still be emitting green house gases, regardless if they offset emissions. Emissions offsetting is not the silver bullet. This only matters if F1 is really concerned with zero emissions, which based on their partnerships, some could doubt it.
@aaronboard6738 Says:
Honest to bloody god. There’s a lot of us that do not give a flying mouse crap about the noise. I want the fastest thing on the track regardless of how it looks or sounds. It’s F1 for pity sake. I want the best driver in the best car. People need to be more vocal about the important things. If I started complaining about why women don’t look more like Scarlett Johansen I’d be bollocked. C’mon ffs.
@chrisvectra5296 Says:
They should have never been changed to hybrid engines
F1 has not been the same since
@JontysCorner Says:
Speaking of improvements in noise, nice new voiceover Autosport have got 👌
@LeoGilmore Says:
I’d rather a V10 the best sound ever to come from an f1 car.
@joeygenochio6024 Says:
Why does F1 need sustainable fuel? Doesn’t the whole sport all season use less fuel than a flight from New York to London? (or something like that)
@manjsher3094 Says:
Yes we will
@ohareport Says:
V5 is the perfect solution here— sounds very similar to a V10 but looks eco by dropping a cylinder.
I’d be ok with hybrid systems but lose the turbo eh.
@timorgano Says:
If you can get rid of hybrids and turbos, then you can make the cars smaller and back to the old V8 days, and we might get more passing on track

I hope so.
@brianwarner308 Says:
serious question....why do people care about the noise?
@JeffSyam Says:
RPM, RPM, RPM!!!
rev / minutes is the key!!! No point to abolishing MGU-H, change to V8, V10, no turbo,... as long as engine can't reach 20k-rpm like it used to in 2000's.
GO FORWARD. F1 should be moving forward!
@sinoperture Says:
V10 please.
@meerkat5818 Says:
ICE's won't have much road relevance if our governments commit to the ban of new ICE cars, and any new ones that are created for commercial sale will be limited runs for enthusiasts (meaning they won't all have dinky little I4's or turbo V6's), so why not bring back a more interesting engine design?

If it makes Liberty Media money then that’s what they’ll do.
You F1 fans are being taken.
F1 is to racing what the WWF is to wrestling, but you guys can’t see it.
@moStallion Says:
V8 n/a with electric motor for torque boost n shifter filler
@321-Gone Says:
I'd like to see teams have a choice. Like in the early turbo era. I don't care as much about the "noise" " (not a child) as much as I care about the weight and size of the modern cars lugging around those heavy batteries. It'd be interesting to see which is faster. My guess, faster tracks the turbo cars, tight city tracks the NA V8's. Shocking.
@Coen80 Says:
F1 is such a joke these days
@TheValiantDwarf Says:
Whats wrong with just having an open engine formula. With just fuel restrictions on flow and tank size.
@Marcoz588 Says:
Keep the current regs as they are until 2028/29 (totally abandon the proposed 26 regulations), and then do the shift to sustainable NAs then.
@nahidrahman Says:
Is that the friendly neighbourhood presenter Dre Harrison?
@michaeltyler4034 Says:
If they can work with Shell and the other fuel suppliers to develop a cost effective, fully bio-sustainable fuel, then I say drop the hybrid concept, take a step back, and bring back the 3 liter displacement limit. However, let the engine manufacturers develop and build whatever they want at 8, 10 or 12 cylinders. This should also include an engine development cost-cap and the continuation of limiting the number of engines used in a season.
It’s not just the noise, it’s all about the quality and the uniqueness of the sound. Long time fans miss the days when a Ferrari sounded like a Ferrari, and a Matra sounded other-worldly. And the scream of the V10 was ear-splitting. That’s a big part of the experience that fans love and miss. Think I’m wrong?
Consider how many times fans all over the world have listened with awe to the recording of the BRM V16, or attended Goodwood just for a chance to hear it run…. OR the fact that they actually spent the time, effort and money building four new replicas. It’s a nice looking car and all…. But they ain’t building the replicas for it’s looks. If that were the case, Mercedes would be building W196s all day.

stupid batteries make the cars far too heavy

@daveclarke4246 Says:
DRS and hybrid doesn't make for more spectacular series or racing. V8 and ultimately V10 is a drawcard. F1 needs to redefine itself....
@williamf9633 Says:
They should ditch the hybrid system reduce the car weight decrease it’s size and reintroduce in race refuelling
@LouSassol69er Says:
Everybody wants it. They should think of the spectacle for a change rather than sustainability.
@jamesletts2209 Says:
Rather than worrying about the “noise” from the engine, could we concern ourselves with making the teams much closer to each other and more competitive plus introducing a couple more teams!? Then, we can worry about the “noise!” 🤯
@snefru Says:
Yes, they sound nicer but this should be about the best performance and whatever form that comes in.
@raymondfry5763 Says:
Going back to ICE powered cars could cost F1. some manufactures could pull the plug with the US moving away from ICE and investing in EVs.
@stubailey9433 Says:
Also, bring back refuelling while we are at it. Get rid of DRS and hybrid.
@aussieshooter8 Says:
Its not about the fucking volume. Its about walking on the edge of what four wheels is capable of and allowing the drivers to push those boundaries. Currently these wideass, heavy V6 hogs aren't allowing for the best racing. V8's or V10's provide a better sound as a byproduct and its the frequency of the engine note that sounded so good not how loud it was.
@mrbungle3310 Says:
i dont trust domenicali at anything
@auralight-tranceempyrean9748 Says:
Been realistic, I would say that the next engine Formula (2026) is a step in the right direction. The engines will be louder, but I would say that for 2030, they can tweak that and have those V6's rev much higher (18000-20000 RPM). Having the V6's rev higher will be brilliant (the Red Bull X2010 as an example was a Twin-turbo V6 if you want an example)
@JamesS14101 Says:
Good luck getting manufacturers to go back to V8's.
@tHebUm18 Says:
Over 50% of new road going vehicles will probably be EVs by 2030. Seems like a non-starter for works power unit programs to be investing resources in V8's solely for racing with effectively 0 road relevance. Porsche's forays into biofuels at commercial scale more or less confirm that'll never be economically viable. They'd sound better, but do remember that F1/racing is theoretically supposed to be a proving ground for advancing automotive technology, not looking backwards and falling behind what street cars have. I wouldn't mind a V8 too, but would like to see it remain hybrid and exploring more advanced electrical components (solid state batteries? super capacitors? let the rules be more lax on the electrical side and let the F1 engineers run with it).
@procatprocat9647 Says:
4 cylinder engine would reduce car weight even further.
Or 3 for that unusual sound?
A v2?
A single cylinder thumper like a dirt bike.
Super lightweight
😂
