FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem recently suggested that Formula 1 should consider reviving V-10 engines, especially as the series shifts exclusively to synthetic fuels. We wholeheartedly support this idea. The V-10 era of F1 produced some of the most thrilling races and the best engine sounds ever heard in motorsport. Still skeptical? Let the sound of this Ferrari F310B convince you.
Driven by Michael Schumacher during his 1997 championship season, this iconic car is now owned by 80-year-old Erich Zech. Instead of letting it gather dust, Zech competes in the BOSS GP Championship, a series for wealthy owners of vintage F1 cars. Recently, the ALwinSV YouTube channel captured Zech’s exhilarating lap at TT Circuit Assen, with the F310B screaming to 16,000 rpm. While F1 may not return to V-10 engines, it’s thrilling to see enthusiasts like Zech keep them alive.
