Ford apoia ideia de retorno dos motores V8 na Fórmula 1

O diretor da Ford Performance, Mark Rushbrook, manifestou apoio a um possível retorno dos motores V8 na Fórmula 1. Os comentários surgem em meio às negociações sobre os futuros regulamentos, que podem se distanciar da eletrificação intensa.

A posição da Ford está alinhada com as recentes declarações do CEO da F1, Stefano Domenicali, e do presidente da FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem. Domenicali observou, durante a pausa de abril, que as regras futuras podem favorecer um motor V8 movido a combustíveis sustentáveis com um componente elétrico menor. Ben Sulayem afirmou em Miami que o retorno do V8 é apenas uma questão de tempo, com uma meta para 2031 ou, possivelmente, antes disso.
