Ford accueille favorablement l'idée d'un retour au moteur V8 en Formule 1

Le directeur de Ford Performance, Mark Rushbrook, a exprimé son soutien à un retour potentiel du moteur V8 en Formule 1. Ces commentaires interviennent dans le cadre de discussions en cours sur les futures réglementations qui pourraient s'éloigner d'une électrification intensive.

La position de Ford s'aligne sur les récentes déclarations du PDG de la F1, Stefano Domenicali, et du président de la FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem. Domenicali a noté lors de la pause d'avril que les règles futures pourraient favoriser un V8 fonctionnant avec des carburants durables et doté d'une composante électrique plus réduite. Ben Sulayem a déclaré à Miami qu'un retour du V8 n'est qu'une question de temps, avec un objectif fixé à 2031, voire plus tôt.
