🗣️ 'We want a competitive engine, with many horsepower and a great sound. 99.9% of people want to hear a sound on track again, and that's something we've put on the table.' Stefano Domenicali wants future F1 engines to be lighter, simpler and noisier:
With F1 committed to using fully sustainable fuels from 2026 rather than going down an all-electric route, thoughts are already being put towards what type of power unit the series could use further down the road. , one area where significant mass could be reduced is with the hybrid power units, which currently incorporate heavy battery cells.
“We want a competitive engine, with many horsepower and also with a great sound. 99.9% of people want to hear a Formula 1 sound on track again, and that's something we've put on the table.” Domenicali said it was in F1’s DNA to ‘lighten every component of the cars as much as possible’, even though he fully understood that car weight had had to increase also as the result of a drive to improve safety.
“But there has also been the development of new technologies and the subsequent adoption of batteries, an aspect that has led to an impact on the weight front.
