Following talks between the FIA, F1 and its power unit manufacturers, plans for the championship to return to a bygone era have been parked.
After a meeting at the Bahrain Grand Prix, F1 has decided to put the plans to return to V10 engines on hold. The discussion was initiated by the FIA and included the championship and its power unit suppliers. The possibility of reverting to V10 engines from 1996 to 2005 was considered due to advancements in sustainable fuels. While the idea was not completely discarded, it won’t be implemented between 2026 and 2029. Audi and Cadillac participated in the meeting, expressing support for the current Hybrid V6 Turbo power units in F1. Their stance likely influenced the decision to maintain the existing power unit regulations in the foreseeable future.
