The HybridV10 series spearheaded by Lewis Hamilton’s father Anthony has revealed more detail about its intended format and aims
While Formula 1 has paused the idea of switching to V8/V10 hybrids in the future, a new project called HybridV10 is gaining attention for its plan to feature these powerful engines.
The concept began with a webpage launch last year, promising “Real Racing. Real Talent. Real Skill. Proper Sound.”
Private development work and social media posts have started to reveal the vision behind the HybridV10 category, showing efforts to make it a reality.
The series, spearheaded by Anthony Hamilton, father of Lewis Hamilton, is set to have two single-seater categories with grid sizes of 24 cars per series, focusing on driver talent without complex driver-assisted systems.
In addition to the V8/V10 engines, HybridV10 will incorporate innovative hybrid technologies, modern energy pitstops, and a dedicated HybridV10 Campus and Centre of Excellence for teams, driver training, and partnerships.
The selection process for drivers involves the Motorsport Draft League, aiming to recruit top talents on merit rather than financial backing, with a requirement of a ‘hybrid super licence’ to race in the V10 class.
