F1 teams split by capital issues for sports and potential outcomes
When you approach the truck F1 Nowadays, the speed of the car, especially the speed of the curve, is impressive to everyone. However, this sound is far from taking a breather, as F1 did before 2014 when current hybrid motor regulations were implemented, and is much more efficient and online for the commercial and sales direction of the automotive sector.
“You should have seen it in the V10 or V12 era,” that is a phrase that is always repeated by the youngest fans of each curve. The deafening, sharp, impressive sounds of the engines from years ago, and the music of the heavens of the vast majority created a unique feeling to everything. It was as if a spaceship had passed in front of a fan. It was majestic and even scary. And he warned all fans located on the curve that a “plane” was about to arrive long before the car arrived. He did it with the roar of a dragon.
It’s something that has almost lost many fans, regardless of small, agile cars to improve melee combat. And now F1 raises the return of the remembered V10 engine.
The theme is on the table. For F1’s most melancholic and greatest lover, it will be a blessing. And only the return to these propellants is understood by zero-emission sustainable fuels, such as competitions such as F1 and Dakar.
However, it must not be forgotten that F1 is closely linked to the commercial interests of Brands, a unique showcase of roadside projects and sales.
When engines like 2026 arrive, electricity will increase by half in a world where brands are increasingly betting on electricity. F1 was able to attract attention from brands like Ford (to join Red Bull with 2026 engine), Audi (the motor with proprietary equipment and Sauber), and Cadillacperhaps since 2028, it will arrive in 2026 with the aim of creating its own engine from YFInnovate the Honda March, which has joined Aston Martin since 2026.
And now, the possibility of a V10 engine returning is even in front of a new engine, even five years ago when new engine regulations were scheduled for release in 2026. It can create huge divisions between equipment and brands, some of them show themselves against changes in their plans This is because you can throw all the research and realizations of these 2026 engines or oppose the commitment of some brands on the road.
There, Mercedes Audi and Honda They could oppose it. especially, Audireached F1 due to this new engine regulations and conformed to its commercial plans. Meanwhile, Ferrari has returned to the V10 for sale and has had a good look that Ford (Red Bull) shouldn’t oppose it.
At Padoc it is speculated that Mercedes can have the best starting engine in 2026 It is possible that, as happened in 2014, they began dominating a new era with their propellers and are interested in maintaining these hybrid engines.
for that, Cadillac arrives at F1 when new and with all opponents with more experience With these hybrid engines, I was able to see that option on the V10 with a good eye.
What is being spoken about is that the FIA may have kept the 2026 engine for three or four years. Return to V10 in 2028 or 2029 with sustainable fuel.
They admit that this idea is on the table
The FIA president recently admitted that the V10 restitution was studying. “We need to consider a variety of options, including the V10 Roar, which runs on sustainable fuel. Whatever the option you choose, we need to support the equipment and manufacturers to ensure management of R&D costs.” The FIA president was explained by social networks.
and Nicholas Tombajis, FIA’s monoplay technology director, confirmed his interesthowever, it made it clear that there was no definitive plan and everything was still in the air. And perhaps that idea of the V10 could arise from the difficulty and creation price of the current and new hybrid engines.
“The best way to deal with that is, do you want to change another motor type in three or four years? That’s the number one question. It focuses on the future of sports. If the answer is positive, a second question arises: what do we do in the middle period? This is definitely a secondary issue compared to the main one,” Tombajis said. And that’s what we value as a manufacturer of electricity units. ”
“Advances in sustainable fuels have probably generated the opinion that engines could be easier, and the global economy is probably generating the opinion that they should probably try to cut costs a little more.and the current engine is too expensive. The FIA car technical manager added.
“At the time, cars were slower than the current cars, but such engines… It cannot be explained simply and can’t be compared to what we have now,” he said. Verstappen When asked about the V10, I guarantee that if these propellants come back, it is likely intended to expand their careers: “It may be. Either way, it’s far more appealing than what we have now,” the Four-Time F1 champion added.
The new 2026 power unit will have the same power as the power that supplies the combustion engine. It complicates everything on a technical level. This change to the V10 remains zero emissions, but it reduces the cost of creating and developing the engine, and could possibly rival driver performance. But we must not forget why the brand wants to be F1. The discussion seems complicated and is key to the future of F1.
What do you think of Fernando Alonso?
“I don’t know. It’s difficult to comment. Obviously, I’m not sure. Motor time for the V10 and V8 and the sounds produced by those cars. I miss it. We live in another world, with technology evolving and we have a very efficient engine that only consumes a third of the gasoline that was used. This is a decision that leaders must make with FOM and FIA and all those involved,” Alonso said.
“As pilots, we want to pilot the car faster, using the engine in the back. Fans need to comment on that. But we can’t go against the times. In this hybrid era, we can’t forget how efficient it is compared to past cars. What we have now is very good.”Asturian said.
“It’s like you can pilot without a halo and build the most dangerous car and add adrenaline to your fans… as we continue to make progress, it makes no sense. What we have now is good Formula 1, a good time for sports, and it’s difficult to reinvent anything that will bring us to the unknown. ”Fernando ended with a realistic speech. And F1 has far more than fans want. It must fit the plans of the brands and teams you attended. The debate seems intense.

Two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso added the new high-performance SUV Aston Martin DBX S to his car collection. The driver took delivery of the car, valued at more than $260,000, a few days before Christmas in Monte Carlo, where he was photographed next to the new product near the Aston Martin dealership in Monaco.
Powered by Mercedes’ 727 horsepower 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, the DBX S reaches 100 km/h in just 3.3 seconds. The new SUV joins Alonso’s collection, which already includes the Aston Martin Valiant and Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR.
With 2026 rule changes approaching, Alonso and Aston Martin hope the new DBX S will signal the beginning of better times. The team’s new technical partnership with Honda and Adrian Newey’s experience pave the way for Aston Martin to challenge for top spot next season.

2025 Alex Parow It’s almost perfect. You can’t ask for more from a Catalan pilot. It’s a perfect example of how success can go beyond F1. The Sant Antoni de Vilamajor native achieved his third successive IndyCar title and fourth title in five years.
He achieved this with an overwhelming advantage over others. Win 8 of the 17 races that make up the entire calendar. With five wins from the first six races, the season couldn’t have gotten off to a better start. Three others then arrived and he finished the year with five more podiums. In total he scored 711 points, 196 more than second place in the contest, Pato O’Ward.
He was two wins shy of the single-season wins record held by AJ Foyt from the 1964 season, and one of nine achieved by Mario Andretti, another great legend of the competition. However, yesHe became the third driver in history to win the most IndyCar titles. And he trails only Scott Dixon (5th) and AJ Foyt himself (7th). Additionally, he joins Ted Horn, Sébastien Bourdais and Dario Franchitti on the short list of drivers capable of winning a third straight race.
“It’s been round so far and I hope it stays that way and continues to improve. I think it’s getting better every year. After winning my first IndyCar title in 2021, I thought it was already round and complete, but it’s getting better every year, so I couldn’t be happier,” Palou assessed during a visit to the MD editorial office in early December.
500 miles is a bonus
At the end of a dream year, Palou I was able to win the legendary Indianapolis 500.a thorn that had stuck inside him since he came to the United States. Practically on American soil, winning this event is more important than the championship, and that was the only thing Alex lacked, the Catalan having yet to win on the oval. Fortunately, he managed to take it off his wishlist in May this year, giving it his all and reaching a milestone that no other Spaniard can boast of.
He is undoubtedly a real “sheriff” of Indy and a great reference in this field, which has already spread its fame throughout Spain and Europe thanks to the person of Palou who has achieved everything. Now all I have to do is continue to have fun and dream big.
