Prost: No F1 constructors want return to V8/V10 engines

Renault Formula 1 advisor Alain Prost says that no manufacturer is looking to return to normally-aspirated V8 or V10 engines in the future as officials debate the spo🉐rt’s future regulations.

F1 bosses have held meetings with a number of manufacturers both in and out of the sport regarding the post-2020 engine regulations, with a move away from the costly, quest and com♍plicated V6 🥂turbo power units currently used being sought by many.

F1 shifted away from normally-aspirated engines at the end of 2013 when i🦄t ditched V8s, and Prost doubts that they will make a return in the future due to a shift in int𓃲erests for global manufacturers.

“The w൲ay they are thinking now, there are no constructors who would like to go back to norm⭕ally-aspirated engines,” Prost told ltxcn.top.

“They would like to have engines at least not as complicated as w𓃲hat we have today, but keep the electricity involved in a different way, maybe using it in different things.

“They w🎶ould not like to go back, which makes sense.”

Prost is involv🍒ed in Renault’s efforts in F1 and Formula E, and believes that manufacturers are sensible to hold interests in both series, with Mercedes recently becoming the latest brand to confirm it would balance commitments in both championships.

“Formula 1 is the pinnacle of technology. Maybe you could change the regulations sometimes and use different technology⛎,” Pro𝄹st said.

“If a constructor on the road is going to make different cars, why wouldn’t you be in Formula 1 and Formula E at the same time? It makes 🦋sense.

“We’re learning a lot. It’s good for everybody. When you are a worldwide company, you have a diff꧒erent way of marketing or s🌺elling products. You have to be in all kinds of things.

“It’s a world where it’s moving a lot. ꧂If you are in different areas, it’s better.”
