The future of Formula 1 could see the return of V10 engines and Lewis Hamilton is the latest to advocate his approval for the change.
Discussions over reverting back to the V10 era were sparked by the FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
He suggested that F1 should at least consider the idea of running the popular engines on sustainable fuels in the future.
For 2026, there is a huge regulation overhaul, which includes changes to the engine regulations.
F1 will transition to using 100% sustainable fuel as part of its goal to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by the year 2030.
Additionally, the series plans to implement a nearly 50/50 split between the power output from the engine and the MGU-K electric motor.
Red Bull Team Principal Christian Horner offered his support for the return of engines last used back in 2005.
Horner revealed how he would love to go back to ‘the sound of grand prix racing’ with the use of V10 engines.
Hamilton has recently added his thoughts on the matter at a Ferrari event in Milan, as he agreed with the Red Bull chief’s opinion.
“I hope that in 20 years we’ll have great races and we’ll have cars that sound good,” Hamilton said.
“I certainly hope it’s not completely electric, but sustainable with V10 or V12 engines, with a zero carbon footprint or something like that.”
FIA to further explore the return of V10s, reports say
After Ben Sulayem signalled his intentions to contemplate using V10s once again in the sport, rumours started to circulate that the FIA had taken action towards the idea.
A spokesperson for the governing body confirmed that a working group was being set up to discuss the concept further.
A statement read: “We are engaged in discussions with a number of stakeholders to determine the future technical direction of F1 beyond the 2026 regulatory cycle.
“A V10 power train running on sustainable fuel would be part of those considerations which would be tied to environmental and cost-containment measures.
“We need to consider the appropriate technical path for the sport.
“While we are fully focussed on the introduction of the 2026 regulations, and the prospect of the competitive racing they will bring, we also need to keep an eye on the future.
“The intention is to establish a working group whose brief it would be to explore all possibilities.”
There has still been no official confirmation from the FIA as of late, yet the hype train behind the return of V10s is steadily gaining traction, with the seven-time World Champion being the latest to join the fight.
