What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The FIA president is campaigning to reintroduce V8 power units in Formula 1, citing the sport's ethos and appeal. The governing body is also proposing changes that would reduce car weight by approximately 80 kilograms while cutting research, development, and engine costs by at least 50%. These proposals are currently under development, with no confirmed introduction date beyond the 2030s.
