By Andrew Clarke<\/p>\n

Date posted: 10 June 2026<\/p>\n

In the latest edition Auto Action Premium, Luis Vasconcelos writes that the electric dream that shaped Formula 1\u2019s current rules is dead, and the FIA and Formula 1 are now united on a V8 future from 2030, with most manufacturers backing the move.<\/p>\n

Formula 1 and the FIA have joined forces to bring back V8 power from 2030, a direct response to the road car industry\u2019s abandonment of full electrification and to the backlash against the heavily hybridised regulations that have reshaped the sport this year.<\/p>\n

The current power units, with their 50-50 split between combustion and electrical energy, were written to satisfy manufacturers who insisted the internal combustion engine was finished. That world no longer exists, and the rules built for it have changed how drivers approach qualifying and races, drawing criticism throughout the season.<\/p>\n

The European Union has effectively shelved its 2035 ban on combustion-engined road cars, while manufacturers are walking away from EV programs across the board. Honda has scrapped its target of EVs making up a fifth of sales by 2030, abandoned its plan for a full electric shift by 2040, and indefinitely suspended a US$11 billion ($16.9 billion) EV and battery project in Canada.<\/p>\n

The premise behind the current rules has collapsed<\/p>\n

FIA Single Seater Director Nikolas Tombazis admitted the foundation of the current regulations has crumbled.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe political landscape has changed as back when we discussed the current regulations, the automotive companies who were very involved told us that they\u2019re never going to make another internal combustion engine again,\u201d Tombazis said.<\/p>\n

That, he conceded, \u201chasn\u2019t happened\u201d. As sustainable fuels develop rapidly, the combustion engine is back at the centre of the car industry\u2019s plans, and Formula 1 intends to follow suit.<\/p>\n

Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali confirmed the sport was boxed in when the current rules were written.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a very clear indication coming from all the manufacturers: either we went in a certain direction, or they would no longer be interested in any form of involvement in the sport,\u201d Domenicali explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can no longer find ourselves in a position where the manufacturers dictate the pace of the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Mercedes<\/p>\n

Toto Wolff has committed Mercedes to a V8 future, calling for around 596kW (800bhp) of combustion power. Image: GettyImages<\/p>\n

Manufacturers lining up behind the V8<\/p>\n

A simpler V8 with a small battery would also reopen the door to independent engine builders such as Cosworth and Ilmor, ending the sport\u2019s total dependence on car manufacturers since hybrid power arrived in 2014.<\/p>\n

Far from resisting, the manufacturers are on board. Mercedes, Ford and General Motors have all but committed to building engines to the new rules, while Ferrari has privately backed the move.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe love V8s, it only brings great memories for us,\u201d said Mercedes boss Toto Wolff, who declared \u201ccount Mercedes in to come back with a real racing engine.\u201d<\/p>\n

GM president Mark Reuss was just as direct.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love V8s and the way they sound,\u201d Reuss said. \u201cIf Formula 1 and FIA and the teams say that we\u2019re going to return to a V8, we\u2019ll be ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ford Racing Global Director Mark Rushbrook added that \u201cas a company that makes a lot of naturally aspirated V8s, we would love to see a V8 here.\u201d<\/p>\n

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem wants electrical power kept \u201cminimal\u201d, with synthetic fuel doing the heavy lifting. Only Audi and Honda are yet to declare a position. The key decisions are expected before the start of the 2027 season.<\/p>\n

\nFormula One, or F1, is the highest class of single-seater auto racing, governed by the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l\\’Automobile (FIA) and is owned by Liberty Media. The name “Formula One” refers to the set of rules or formula that all cars and drivers must comply with.
\n
\nThe F1 season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix, held on purpose-built circuits or public roads around the world. The results of each race are combined to determine two annual championships: one for drivers and one for constructors (teams).
\n
\nThe history of Formula One can be traced back to the pre-war Grand Prix racing, which featured open-wheel cars with supercharged engines. The first World Championship of Drivers was organised by the FIA in 1950, following the end of World War II. The first race was held at Silverstone, England, and was won by Giuseppe Farina, driving an Alfa Romeo. The first constructors\\’ championship was introduced in 1958 and was won by Vanwall.
\n
\nFormula One has seen many changes and innovations over the years, both in terms of technology and regulations. Some of the most notable developments include the introduction of rear-engined cars in the late 1950s, the use of aerodynamic wings in the late 1960s, the adoption of turbocharged engines in the late 1970s, the emergence of electronic driver aids in the late 1980s, the switch to V10 and then V8 engines in the 1990s and 2000s, and the introduction of hybrid power units in 2014.
\n
\nFormula One has also produced some of the greatest drivers and rivalries in the history of motorsport. Some of the most famous names include Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Niki Lauda, Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton, and Sebastian Vettel. Some of the most intense battles for the championship have been between Fangio and Stirling Moss in the 1950s, Lauda and James Hunt in the 1970s, Senna and Prost in the late 1980s, Schumacher and Mika Hakkinen in the late 1990s, and Hamilton and Vettel in the 2010s.
\n
\nFormula One is widely regarded as the pinnacle of motorsport, attracting millions of fans and viewers worldwide. The sport is also a huge business, involving billions of dollars in revenue and expenditure. The teams compete for prize money, sponsorship deals, and media rights, while the drivers earn millions of dollars in salaries and endorsements. The sport is also influenced by politics, regulations, and controversies, such as doping scandals, espionage cases, safety issues, and environmental concerns.
