F1’ಌs next-generation engine is set to be introduced in 2025, with the world championship working on a hybrid concept that would be pow♌ered by fully sustainable fuels. 

Red Bull, which is creat🌊ing its own power unit division to take over Hon🧔da’s engine project, has called on F1 to take a “clean sheet” approach into the next era of engines. 

And Horner believes F1 has a unique opportunity🧸 to address some of the biggest concerns regarding the current power units, including increasing sound levels to revive emotions stirred by the previous V10 and V8 engines.💧 

“We see that the costs of the current engine are extremely prohibitive,” Horner said. “It was not thougꦇht🦩 of when this engine was conceived. 

“I think there’s a fantastic opportunity of making an engine for t♛he next ten years, wheꦫn it’s introduced, to do something a little bit different. 

“It needs to address the emotion and the sounds, and yes, of course, it has to tick the sustainable b𝔉oxes. 

“But I think it still needs to be entertaining - otherwise we should all go and do Formula E.&🌼nbsp;

“Hopefully the collect✅ive minds can come up with something attractive for 2025 or, what would be more sensible, is to do the job properly for 2026.”

Porsche and Aℱudi chiefs joined F1’s existing engine manufacturers, championship bosses and the FIA in a meeting to discuss the 2025 engine rules at the Austrian Grand Prix.

F1 said that “very positive discussions” took place during the meeting of manufacturer CEOs in Austria and confirmed that furt🧸her 🍸news would be announced following additional talks. 

Horner described the meeting as a “constructive dialogue” and stressed the involved stakeholders neℱed to work towards the best possible outcome for F1. 🅺;

“It’s impo♉rtant w💞e find the right solution both in cost and product for the future of Formula 1,” he added. 

“So I think all the right stakeholde𒈔rs are involved in that discussion and it’s important to work collectively for the benefit of the🧔 sport.”
