[Saba Sports News] Since the President of the International Automobile Federation (FIA) expressed the intention to reintroduce V10 engines, most teams have maintained a welcoming attitude. However, for Fernando Alonso, who is serving the Aston Martin team, he does not particularly support the return of V10 engines, believing that reintroducing them in the current F1 environment would be a technological regression, and F1 should not go backward. Alonso pointed out: “Times have changed, and today’s engine technology has made a huge leap forward, with fuel efficiency significantly improved, and fuel consumption is only one-third of that in the past V10 engine era.” I think what Alonso says is reasonable, because from a technological development perspective, modern F1 engines have made great technological progress, with significantly improved fuel efficiency, and fuel consumption is only one-third of that in the past V10 engine era. This not only meets the current global requirements for environmental protection and sustainable development but also reflects the achievements of F1 in technological innovation. Reintroducing V10 engines means abandoning these technological advances and returning to the past technological level, which is a technological regression.
