automoto.it<\/a> that manufacturers are already broadly aligned on the longer-term engine direction.<\/p>\n\u201cWe\u2019re all convinced about the V8,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt\u2019s not a matter of debate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe important thing is to understand whether a hybrid component, turbocharging, or something else should be added to the eight-cylinder engine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Binotto said the bigger issue is efficiency rather than simply engine layout.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t talk so much about architecture as about engine efficiency,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cRoad cars are moving in that direction. If Formula 1 wants to remain a platform for innovation, it must follow this path.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he does not believe the next major engine formula needs to be brought forward \u2013 for example from 2031 to 2030.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think so,\u201d said the Italian.<\/p>\n
\u201cPartly because I don\u2019t think this regulation is a failure at all. The last significant change was in 2014, when one team dominated.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, there are several teams capable of competing for pole position and victory. It\u2019s easy to criticize, even if sometimes constructively, but the show is there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFormula 1 is successful, and people watch the Grands Prix with genuine passion.\u201d<\/p>\n
