Teams mixed on post-2024 F1 engine formula

The stakeholders of F1 are currently contemplating how the sport should take on power units after 2024. Mercedes want to stick with the current formula, while Renault would like electrification. 

V6 hybrid regulations were brought in 2014 are due to be in place until 2024, with a replacement set to come in place in either 2025 or 2026.

Cyril Abiteboul the boss at Renault feels that the sport could be in problems if it doesn't make the right decision.

“If I look the pace at which the world is changing, in my opinion, there is a huge risk that F1 is left behind,” said Abiteboul.

“Look at the Greta Thunbergs of this world, look at electrification. Things that people are saying today that they would not even have considered six months ago – Ferrari talking about a full-electric car.

“So the world is moving at a very fast pace, and we have to be very careful not to be left behind the road car industry.

"Whatever we think of electrification, it’s not going to go away."
