The president of the FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, suggested that Formula 1 should consider the return of V-10 engines, as the category will soon use only synthetic fuels.
The V-10 era was marked by cars with an incredible sound and memorable races, becoming one of the most iconic periods in the sport. Although it is unlikely that these engines will return, the idea reignites nostalgia among fans.
An example of this legacy is the Ferrari F310B, which Michael Schumacher drove in 1997 for several victories. The car is now owned by 80-year-old Erich Zech, who keeps it active in the BOSS GP championship, aimed at owners of historic single-seaters.
Recently, the YouTube channel ALwinSV filmed the car in action at the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands, providing an audio spectacle with its engine revving at 16,000 rpm and releasing impressive exhaust bursts.

Although Formula 1 will probably never return to using V-10 engines, enthusiasts like Zech ensure that these machines are not forgotten. Instead of being stored away, they continue to be admired and heard on the tracks, keeping the passion for a defining era of motorsport alive.
