Looks like Porsche are interested in coming back to F1 in 2021 when the engine rules change again. Does anyone know if this 2021 design (twin turbo V6) will also be Hybrid?
Also have to wonder what Honda think about a rule change they will have a massive amount by then!

I think the idea of the new engine spec is to reduce cost and reduce complexity. Brawny has said he no longer sees a tie in with road cars and that f1 should go back to noisy simple engines.
Let other formulae do the high tech stuff now and let f1 be the pinnacle of motor racing again.
I hate the current engine grid penalties, let them blow up but seriously more cheaper engines would help new teams and fans enjoyment.
Motorsports does enough for technology and the environment in other places.
I suspect more fuel is used by each of the following sports every weekend - football, fishing and probably golf.

We could be seeing Alfa Romeo next year as a Torro Rosso with, I guess, a Ferrari engine but maybe rebadged as Alfa.

If anything TR will be moving to Honda and Sauber possibly getting 'Alfa Romeo' badged Ferrari engines with Leclerc driving alongside Ericsson.

Ah that makes more sense
