I understand people who miss the banshee scream of the V10s/V12s, or the roar of the V8s, but I’m already annoyed that they’re dropping the MGU-H for 2026.
The current turbo-hybrid engines are INCREDIBLE from a thermal efficiency standpoint. It’s insane. That’s part of why they’re quiet. They’re exactly where F1 should be taking ICE technology. More power from less fuel. Less wasted energy.
But I suppose that F1 is going to lose technological relevance anyway as the world shifts away from ICEs, so we might as well make the spectacle more entertaining. No one cares how useful racehorses are, just whether they’re fast.
