Wolff supports return to V8 engines for next rules cycle
Toto Wolff says he supports Formula 1 returning to V8 engines for the next rules cycle, in either 2030 or 2031, after FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem declared his intention to bring them back. Wolff said: "Ben Sulayem wants an eight-cylinder V8, which is a good sound, and a more limited battery. I think it would be around 80:20 [in terms of power output between the ICE and battery], with an output of 1,000 horsepower. I'm not sure if it is going to be normally aspirated or not, but I think this is where Formula 1 goes at the moment, and me as a purist, I like it."
