Renault Formula 1 advisor Alain Prost s🅠ays that no manufacturer is looking to return to normally-aspirated V8 or V10 engines in the future ♛as officials debate the sport’s future regulations.
F1 bosses have held meeti꧟ngs 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 an🐼d complicated V6 turbo power units currently used being sought by many.
F1 shifted away from normally-aspirated engines at the end of 2013 when it ditched V8s, and Prost doubts that they will make a return in🦄 the future due to a shift in interests for global manufacturers.
“The way they are thinking now, there are no constructors who would like to go back☂ to normally-aspirated engines,” Prost told wuqian0821.com.
“They would like to have engines at least noღt as complicated as what we have today, but keep the electricity involved in a different way, maybe using it in different things.
“They would not like to go back, which makes sense�𒀰�.”
Prost is involved in Renault’s efforts in F1 and Formula E, and be𝐆lieves that manufacturers are sensible to hold interests in both series, with Mercedes rec🐎ently becoming the latest brand to confirm it would balance commitments in both championships.
“Formula 1 is the pinnacle of technology. Maybe you could 𒁏chang🀅e the regulations sometimes and use different technology,” Prost said.
“If a constructor on the road is going to make different ca💯rs, why wouldn’t you be in Formula 1 and Formula E at th⛦e same time? It makes sense.
“We’re learning a lot. It’s😼 good for eve🎐rybody. When you are a worldwide company, you have a different way of marketing or selling products. You have to be in all kinds of things.
“It’s a world where it’s moving a lot. If you are in dif🐬ferent are🧔as, it’s better.”
