FIA President signals potential return to V8 engines in Formula One by 2030
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem announced at the Miami Grand Prix that Formula One may return to traditional V8 engines within a few years, citing concerns that the sport's new electrical power regulations have not met expectations. The 2025 season introduced a 50-50 power split between traditional engines and battery packs, but modifications were implemented after just three races to limit electrical influence and emphasize driver skill. The announcement suggests the electrical revolution that was intended to redefine the sport may be losing momentum.
