Wolff expressed his concerns about the potential return to V10 engines, stating that it would be a step backward in terms of technology and sustainability. He emphasized the importance of staying at the forefront of hybrid technology and reducing the carbon footprint of the sport. While some fans may be nostalgic for the sound and power of V10 engines, Wolff believes that F1 should continue to push for advancements in hybrid and electric technology. He also mentioned the significant costs involved in developing new power units and the need for stability in regulations to allow teams to focus on long-term planning. Ultimately, the decision on whether F1 will switch back to V10 engines will depend on a variety of factors, including feedback from stakeholders, technical considerations, and the overall direction of the sport. For now, the focus remains on the introduction of the new V6 turbo hybrid units in 2026.
