F1 engine manufacturers to talk about V10s in Bahrain.

      "We do not have any additional information at this point."

      A meeting scheduled for next week may clarify the ongoing speculation regarding the reintroduction of V10 engines in Formula 1. While Red Bull and Ferrari seem open to postponing the initiation of the new 2026 engine regulations to allow for V10s that operate on sustainable fuel, Mercedes, Honda, and Audi appear to be against this idea. "We are aware that the FIA is contemplating reinstating the V10 engines, and an initial meeting is in the works," said Koji Watanabe, head of Honda Racing Corporation, in an interview with De Telegraaf. "We do not have any additional information at this point."

      On the other hand, Aston Martin's Andy Cowell, whose team will utilize Honda engines from 2026, does not seem to support this notion. "We need to discuss the positive aspects of these regulations," he remarked. "Sustainable fuels, batteries that hold greater relevance than in other sectors, efficiency, and the straight-line speed mode, which offers a more effective aerodynamic package," he stated at Suzuka. "These are the topics we should be addressing. We will have these rules for five years, and maybe in a few months, we can discuss what will unfold in 2031."

      Nonetheless, the global economy has shifted dramatically in recent days, primarily due to the onset of Donald Trump’s stringent import tariffs. As a result, a meeting involving all engine manufacturers, likely including Cadillac as well, is set to occur in Bahrain next week.
