The naturally aspirated V10s, which disappeared from the starting grid in 2006, are far louder than the current V6 turbo-hybrid units but are being mooted as a future option with sustainable fuel. The governing FIA said last week that discussions were ongoing with stakeholders over the sport’s technical direction from 2030 and a working group was likely to be set up to explore all possibilities.
“Personally, from a sporting perspective, looking at what the future engine of Formula One should be beyond this next generation, particularly with the way that sustainable fuel is going, it does open up all kinds of opportunities,” said Horner.“The purist in me would love to go back to a V10 that was done responsibly with sustainable fuel that reintroduced the sounds of grand prix racing,” he added at pre-season testing in Bahrain.
