Audi CEO Gernot Dollner stated at the Monaco Grand Prix that the company supports retaining turbocharged engines in Formula 1 when new regulations are established in 2030 or 2031. The FIA president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, has pushed for a return to naturally aspirated V8 engines with minimal hybrid components. Audi emphasizes that sustainability and energy efficiency should be primary focuses in future regulations. Dollner stated that the importance of turbo engines transcends cylinder count and aligns with Audi's commitment to sustainable fuels. The FIA has the authority to set engine rules for 2031 following the expiration of current team contracts in 2030.
