Carmakers and governments have called time on the internal combustion engine as they switch to electric but Formula 1 sees plenty of life in it yet as the sport races towards a zero-carbon future.
Current grand prix cars use a highly efficient 1.6 litre V6 turbo hybrid power unit, a far cry from the gas-guzzling V12 and V10 monsters of old, and a new “powerful and emotive” one is due in 2025 to run 100% on sustainable fuels.
The sport hopes to set the specification by June this year.
“While many people might think the internal combustion engine is dead, I would argue it is far from dead,” chief technical officer Pat Symonds told a recent Motorsport Industry Association (MIA) conference on energy-efficient motorsport.

Audi could use DTM engine in electric Dakar entry from 2022 Autosport 3/01/2021 © LAT Images Audi could use DTM engine in electric Dakar entry
Audi s Class One-spec DTM engine could find its way into the manufacturer s upcoming electric Dakar Rally challenger in 2022, Autosport has learned.
Audi is believed to have invested upwards of 10 million euros to build a two-litre, turbocharged petrol engine for the DTM s move to full Class One regulations in 2019.
While the new engine helped Audi to break several records en route to back-to-back titles in 2019-20, the marque s decision to quit the DTM after 2020 suggested that the motor could be headed to a museum after just two years in service.
