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

Renault Formula 1 advisor Alain Prost says that no manufac🅠turer 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 meetings with a number of manufacturers both in and out of the sport regarding the ꦗpost-2020 engine regulations, with a move away from the costly, que🐟st and complicated V6 turbo power units currently used being sought by many.

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

Renault Formula 1 advisor𓂃 Alain Prost says that no manufa🍸cturer 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 meetings with a number of🐻 manufactur♛ers both in and out of the sport regarding the post-2020 engine regulations, with a move away from the costly, quest and complicated V6 turbo power units currently used being sought by many.

F1 shifted away from normally-asp𝔉irated 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 think♏ing now, there are no constructors who would like to go back to normally-aspirated engines,” Prost told wuqian0821.comܫ.

“They wouldไ like to have engines at least not as complicated as what we have today, but keep the el💛ectricity involved in a different way, maybe using it in different things.

“They would not lik🧜e to go back, which makes sense.”

Prost is involved 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 commitme🍸nts in both championships.

“Formula 1 🃏is the pinnacle of technology. Maybe you could change the regu🍌lations sometimes and use different technology,” Prost said.

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

“We’re learning a lot. It’s good for everybody. When y⭕ou 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 different areas, it’🌄s better.”
