In a surprise statement, FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has backed the return of V10 engines in F1.

Fans have longed for the reviv🐼al of more powerful, be🌸tter-sounding F1 engines since the start of 2014.

2014 saw the introduction🌳 of V6 turbo engines, which were widely criticised due to their cost, complexity, and lack of noise.

While advancements have been made to improve the noise, many fan♒s still miss the roaring engines of the mid-2000s.

This is a positive statement from Ben Sulayem, who referenced th𒆙e F1 75 Live launch event.

The FIA were booed at The O2 when their logo was briefly shown in the ar🐷ꦫena.

A potential return of V10s in F1 would certainly win many fans back over as they grow frustrated with the FIA’s new swearing clampdow🥀n and other issues.

Ben Sulayem wrot🌠e on his Instagram account: “This week’s F1 la𒆙unch in London has triggered a lot of positive discussion on the future of the sport. While we look forward to the introduction of the 2026 regulations on chassis and power unit, we must also lead the way on future technological motorsport trends.

“We should consid⛎er a range of directions including the roaring sound of the V10 running on sustainable fuel. Whichever direction is chosen, we must support the team and manufacturers in ensuring cost control on R&D expenditure.

“Delivering for our members and fans will always☂ be at the heart of all we do alongside important work to make the sport safer and more sustainable for decades to come, ensuring future generations can enjoy F1.”
