F1 teams, divided by a capital issue for sport and possible consequences

When you approach a track of F1 Currently, the speed of cars, especially on the curve, admire anyone. But the sound was as far away from breathing as F1 did before 2014, the year in which current hybrid motor regulations were implemented, better and online in the commercial and sales of the automotic sector.

“You should have seen that during the V10 or V12.” That is a phrase that is always repeated to the youngest fans in each curve. The deaf, acute and imposition of the sound of machines years ago, the heavenly music for the most part, has developed a unique sensation at all. It looks like a spacecraft passed in front of fans. It was majestic, even scared. And he warned all the fans located on a curve, long before the arrival of a car, a ‘plane’ was about to arrive. He made it a roar of a dragon that spit out a fire and stimulates all his power on his path.

This is the most missing of many fans, regardless of smaller and agile cars to improve melee battles. And now, F1 raises the return of V10 engines to remember.

The theme is on the table. For the most -melancholic and the great F1 enthusiasts, it would be a blessing. And just returning to these propelants is understood by sustainable fuel, of zero emissions, such as those used in F1 and in competitions like Dakar, fuel that many believe they are the future, as they can be used on all types of machines, without the need for a new installation, so that they will be able to promote the re -use of old car’s current car parks.

But we must not forget that the F1 is in the commercial interests of the brands present, a unique showcase for their projects and sales on the street.

In a world where brands are increasingly rising in electricity, with the advent of a machine like 2026, which increases electrical power to the total half, F1 has managed to get the attention ofthat will come to 2026 with the aim of creating one’s own machine from, perhaps since 2028, YFRenar the Honda March, who will be joining Aston Martin since 2026.

And now that the possibility of V10 engines returned, even before 5 years scheduled for New Engines regulations to be released in 2026, even before new machines. A large division can be formed between equipment and brands, along with some of them showing themselves as opposed to changing plans Because it could throw all the research and realization of 2026 machines or oppose the promise of some street brands.

There, there, Mercedes Audi and Honda They can fight. Especially, Audiwhich reached the F1 precisely because of the regulations of this New Engines, adapted to its commercial plans. Meanwhile, Ferrari sees good eyes the return to the V10 for their sales and the Ford (Red Bull) should not oppose.

To Paddock is speculating that Mercedes can have the best starting machine in 2026 And start dominating the new season with that propeller, as it happened in 2014, so it can be interested in these hybrid machines that are maintained.

For part of it, Cadillac, when new to F1 comes, with all its opponents with more years of experience In these hybrid engines, that V10 option can be seen with beautiful eyes.

What to talk about, this is the possibility that FIA is maintaining a 2026 engine for three or four years, until the possibility of In 2028 or 2029 it returned to V10 with sustainable fuel.

They admit that the idea is on the table

The President of FIA recently admitted that the return of the V10 was studying. “We should consider various options, including the V10 ROAR running with sustainable fuel. Regardless of the choice, we must support the equipment and manufacturer to ensure control of R&D costs,” The President of FIA explained by social networks.

And Nikolas Tombazis, technical head of FIA’s monoplays, confirmed that interestBut obviously there is no specific plan and everything is still in the air. And perhaps, that idea of ​​the V10 may arise from the difficulty and price of the creation of present and new hybrid machines.

“I think the best way to meet it is to say: Do we want to change a different type of motor three or four years later? That’s the number one question. That focuses on the future of the sport. If the answer confirms, then the second question arises: what do we do in the intermediate period? This is, without a doubt, a second issue compared to the main one, “said Tombazis, who clearly” that’s why the President made comments about a V10 engine in 2028 and so on. And that’s something we check with manufacturers of power units. “

“Developing with sustainable fuels has developed the opinion that perhaps the machines may be simpler. The world economy generates the opinion that we should probably try to reduce costs a little moreAnd the current machines are very expensive. That’s a fact, ”added the technical manager of FIA cars.

“Cars then slower than today, but the feeling that a machine like that … That is indescribable, and completely irreversible to what we have today, “he said Verstappen When asked about the V10, it is ensured that if these propellants return, it may be intended to extend their career: “This may be. In any case, it is more attractive than we have today,” added four hours F1.

The new 2026 power unit will have the same electrical power as the one delivers the combustion engine. That is all complicated at the technical level. This change to the V10 will remain zero emissions, but reducing the costs of creating and developing machines and perhaps to match motorists’ performance. But we must not forget the reason why brands in F1 want. The debate seems to be complicated and key to the future of F1.

What does Fernando Alonso think about?

“I’m not sure. It’s hard to comment. Obviously, I worship the V10 and V8 Motor Times and the sound made by those cars. I miss it. We also live in other worlds and technology has changed, and we have an incapable -believed great machine that consumes only one third of the fuel used to consume. This is a decision that leaders, FOM and FIA and all the people involved, must make, “Alonso said.

“As pilots, we would like to pilot a car faster possible, with the machine we have. Maybe fans will have to comment on it. But we can’t oppose the time at times. During this hybrid period, we will never forget how good it is today compared to the cars of the past. So nice that we have now ”says Asturian.

“It’s like thinking that we can pilot without mixing and making the most dangerous cars and adding more adrenaline to fans … it’s meaningless as we keep moving forward. What we have today is a great F1 and a good time for sport and it’s hard to recreate something that will lead us to something unknown ”Fernando finished, with realistic speech. And the F1 is more than the fans want. You should fit the plans of the brands present and the teams. The debate seems to be intense.
