F1 needs to get its next-generation hybrid engines right

As we approach the end of any year, we begin to look forward to the new one – and in 2020 it’s felt like a year like no other that we’re keen to see the back of!

Looking further ahead, Formula 1’s next-generation engine formula is going to be key to its future. With no excuses for short-termism, the future hybrid engines need to be affordable enough for a team like Red Bull to commit to its own programme. Perhaps that will be hand-in-hand with an automotive manufacturer, perhaps not.

If we’re going to have a truly economically-sustainable F1, we need the correct building blocks putting in the process. And there’s no piece of the puzzle more important than the engine.
