I like the idea of going back to at least a V8.

I always thought the notion of F1 being 'green' was completely ludicrous. The transporting of cars and equipment alone completely blows that notion out of the water, not to mention the actual fuel economy of a 2017 F1 car (7 mpg?).

F1 is nothing more than a sprint race, and there is absolutely nothing about a sprint race that is "fuel usage" friendly. Save the eco stuff for WEC where it actually belongs. F1 is supposed to be an automotive freak show. Sure, there are some things that trickle down to road cars (flappy paddles, ABS, etc), but not everything in an F1 car needs to eventually end up in a VW Golf. F1 needs to get back to being the three-armed, two-headed, 8' 10" freak of nature that it used to be.

A big part of what made F1 fun to watch during the V10 era was watching cars do things that cars are not supposed to be able to do, especially from a powertrain standpoint. For me, there is no engine configuration that sounds better than a V10. It is stunning. If F1 does want to push some sort of 'green' movement, maybe they'd be better off partnering with a petroleum company and developing some sort of earth friendly bio-fuel that isn't used cooking oil.

I miss not seeing BMW in F1 too, but I completely understand why they withdrew in 2009 and I don't expect to see them get back in anytime soon, if ever.
