“President FIA wants to return V10 engines – Ferstapppen supports the idea”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
Ferstapppen: “V10 is much more attractive than what we have now”
Growing up in vehicles, Verstapppen is well acquainted with V10 engines. He stressed that their sound provided a much brighter race experience than modern hybrid power plants.
Maybe yes. In any case, it is much more attractive than what we have now, ”Ferstappen said in Shanghai in response to a question about the possible return of V10.

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulay is a great supporter of this idea. He recently stated on social networks that he would like to hear the iconic sound V10 again in Formula-1. However, he also stressed that such engines should work on renewable fuel to meet the modern environmental standards of the championship.
How realistic these plans remain in question. In 2026, Formula-1 moves to a new engine regulation, and manufacturers have already invested significant resources in the development of hybrid power units. The abandonment of these technologies in the short term looks unlikely, as this is contrary to the long -term championship strategy.
Despite Ben Sulaema’s enthusiasm, there is no clear signs that the return V10 can be a reality. But if it happens, Formula-1 can get a few more seasons of Max Ferstappen’s performances.
