Stefano Domenicali confirms F1’s stance on V8 engine return as FIA president pushes for rule change

Stefano Domenicali, the CEO of Formula 1, has confirmed the organization's openness to the potential return of V8 engines, following support from FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem. Discussions about reverting to fully combustible engines have gained momentum since the introduction of turbo-hybrid power units in 2014, which some fans feel have diminished the sport's appeal.

Domenicali expressed optimism about the return of V8 engines, stating that the FIA president is keen on this change. He also highlighted the significance of driver feedback regarding current engine regulations, indicating that the sport must evolve while considering the perspectives of those who compete in it.
