It was two years ago that the FIA was pleased that six engine manufacturers had signed the final seal on the new 2026 "turbo-hybrid" engine, and no one could have imagined then that the march towards electrification could be called into question. It had taken a long time for consensus to emerge, but the manufacturers had agreed on a close to 50/50 split between electric power and conventional V6 propulsion, with the abandonment of the MG

It may be a poorly expressed idea, but combustion engines with ecological fuels are a good idea, whether V10 or V8.

A fairly logical status quo, given what the newcomer Audi (which can hardly afford to waste a single euro in the current context of the Volkswagen Group which is "downsizing") has already invested, as has Red Bull Powertrain with Ford, and the global economic instability to be expected following the recent declarations of trade war by the occupant of the Oval Office in Washington. If a "fossil-free fuel" V10 (or V8 to please the US public) were to be confirmed soon with an appearance for 2030 or even 2029, it is very likely that Cadillac will continue with the Ferrari PowerUnit. MBS might make the V10 his hobbyhorse upon his re-election as head of the FIA, why not... but F1 fans are not invited to participate in this election!
