Formula 1 could scrap hybrids in next rules change after 2026 - Domenicali

Domenicali believes the arrival of ‘sustainable’ fuels in 2026 will allow F1 to do away with hybrids and shift back to using conventional combustion engines in the future.

    Will the manufacturers be interested? Although I guess that a plain engine is much easier?

    I doubt it will happen.

        A hydrogen engine (not fuel cells) could be better, best of both worlds.
