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?

It's not lack of resources that causes FE cars to be so much slower than F3 cars it's the batteries. F1 budgets are a tiny fraction of the R&D being spent on batteries.

If you told teams they had 200kg min for fuel, engine, motor, and battery and left the rest up to them teams would not be using motors and batteries. From a racing pov they slow the car down.

Yes, I know. But F1 has never been purely about building the fastest car possible. It’s always been a balance of speed, rules, strategy, and spectacle.

Fast cars are spectacle, slow heavy ones are not. It's why semi truck racing ia less popular than f1.
