Stefano Domenicali and his small team like to mix things up... As a result, 2026 will be just one step in the history of rule changes, it seems that a much more drastic change may come in 2030.
Moreover, due to the impact of sustainable fuels, which they intend to introduce from then on. The leader himself explained the possibilities inherent in this:
"As soon as we defined the 2026 direction, we immediately started thinking about the next step, which also includes rulemaking. For example, the 2030 motor formula... My personal opinion is that if sustainable fuels are going to work, then the situation and the reason for the existence of hybrid powertrains should be reviewed. Because it is possible that there is a better solution, one that many people would be happy with! But let's not rush so far ahead, we still need to finalize the 2026 system first. We will finish this before June 30, but there are some cardinal issues on which there is no agreement. Such are the weight of the cars, the sound of the engines. The drivers want lighter cars, and the fans want louder engines. I would also like Formula 1 to be a little louder..." - Domenicali said mysteriously.
