FIA Turmoil: Wittich and Basarri Out due to Leadership Drama

In a bold move that could potentially shake up the world of Formula 1, the FIA has summoned engine manufacturers to a high-stakes summit in Bahrain to discuss the possibility of transitioning back to V10 engines. This pivotal meeting is set to take place during the upcoming Bahrain Grand Prix, signaling a significant shift in the motorsport landscape.

The FIA, under the leadership of president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, is pushing for a reevaluation of the current engine regulations, with a particular focus on the feasibility and support for reintroducing V10 engines to the sport. While discussions have been ongoing between the FIA and key manufacturers, this summit aims to gauge the broader industry sentiment towards such a monumental change.

Despite the enthusiasm from some quarters, including Red Bull and Ferrari, for an early switch to alternative engines before the scheduled end of the current regulations in 2030, not all manufacturers are on board. Audi, for instance, has emphasized its commitment to the upcoming electrification advancements in F1, while Honda and Mercedes have expressed reservations about deviating from the turbo hybrid path set for 2026.

The Power Unit Governance Agreement dictates that any fundamental changes to the engine regulations would require substantial support from key stakeholders, including the FIA, FOM, and a majority of the manufacturers. At present, the consensus for an early shift to V10 engines appears to be lacking, with diverging opinions on the best way forward for the sport.

Amidst these deliberations, the FIA remains steadfast in its belief that F1 must embrace more cost-effective engine solutions to navigate potential economic challenges in the future. The prospect of transitioning to V10 or turbo V8 engines post-2031 remains on the table, reflecting a broader strategic vision for sustainability and competitiveness in Formula 1.

As the motorsport world braces for a potential paradigm shift, the outcome of the V10 summit in Bahrain could set the stage for a new era in Formula 1. With conflicting perspectives and high stakes in play, the road ahead for engine regulations promises to be a thrilling and transformative journey for teams, fans, and the sport at large.
