The FIA ​​has planned a Bahrain meeting with engine manufacturers on a potential F1V 10 return.

The FIA ​​has set a meeting with the engine manufacturers of Formula 1 to discuss the possible withdrawal of the V10 power unit, confirming the autosport by sources.

Initially it seemed that after the Chairman of the FIA, it was being discussed as a serious option as a serious option. About presenting Mohammad Ben Sulem’s recent comment V10 engines The F1 is running on a durable fuel.

Nicholas Tombazis, director of FIA single-seater, confirmed the selected media in Chinese Grand Prix The governing body is actually discovery to the possibility of re -looking at this reputed engine formula,

Although no concrete proposal is yet applied, Tombazis had not denied a return to the famous loud V10 – nor rejected the possibility of being before 2031, when the next engine is due to the end of the cycle.

This leaves significant uncertainty around the future of more electric-focused V6 hybrid power units being developed for 2026.

Taking the next step, Autosport understands that the FIA ​​has now held a meeting with all the current F1 engine manufacturers for the Friday of Bahrain Grand Prix next week.

While the exact agenda is not clear, the meeting is expected to guess whether the V10 engines have sufficient support for back changes.

Audi has already made its stand clear. German Markets, F1 are ready to join as a work team, Committed to championship based on hybrid engine With a strong focus on electric power.

Similarly, Honda’s decision to return to F1 was influenced by the 2026 rules, although the Japanese manufacturer has not yet commented on a possible V10 revival.

Initial suggestions that the current engine rules can be extended by two sessions – with the target V10 returns for 2028 – 2031 was seen as a date of more realistic introduction, as the engine manufacturers of F1 are already investing significant in the next year’s power unit.

However, autosport understands that this idea is gaining momentum in the padock. There is a growing consensus that continues with current electrical units for two more years, before introducing the V10s, further can represent a viable path.

The argument behind this innings lies in the developed direction of the motor vehicle industry. Unlike earlier expectations, meditation is now turning to permanent fuel instead of further electrification.

An V10 running on durable fuel will also be much cheaper than a V6 hybrid that is more or less equally dependent on electric and combustion technology.
