Why is F1 avoiding a V10 revolution, and should it? (www.motorsportweek.com)

Key F1 stakeholders and team bosses have a shared desire to shelve plans to reintroduce V10 engines for the time being to focus on making a success of the 2026 regulations, but is that the right call to make?

But which engine maker besides Ferrari is actually interested in putting serious R&D and money into developing a V10 where the gained knowledge and developed technology won’t be used outside of motorsports and sports cars. Not to mention that EU is going to phase out ICE cars in the coming decades. Wasn’t the entire point of the hybrid era to retain engine suppliers? Like F1 is more than just a sport, it’s also an engineering platform to develop new tech for road cars.
