Following a meeting in Paris on Friday, plans are been finalised for Formula 1 to use cheaper and noisier engines in 2021 when the agreement to run the current hybrid turbos runs out.
The current manufacturers, as well as FIA president Jean Todt, were in attendance, including the Volkswagen Automotive Group.
Talks surrounded the future of how F1 will be powered from 2021 and beyond, suggestions included the current units will be discarded, however some of the technology is likely to remain.
Despite no specific agreements having been made on the final choice of engine that the sport will use, talks will continue in the future on what the options may be.
The FIA have released a statement saying all parties agreed that F1 will continue to be road relevant, maintain a high power output, be cheaper and easier to develop and be louder.
FIA president Jean Todt said: “I was very pleased with the process, and the fact that so many different stakeholders were able to agree on a direction for the FIA Formula One World Championship in such an important technical area.
“Of course, now we must sit down and work through the fine details of exactly what the 2021 power units will be – but we have begun on the right foot, and I am looking forward to working through the process to come up with the best decision for Formula One into the future.”
