Do as you see fit. Turbo's or kers to give a boost? Maybe bikepedals in the cockpit? Solarcollectors? great! Now that will be challenge!

It would also be expensive and manufacturers may have to build an engine that doesn't have any relevance to their road cars in order to be competitive.
And with a fuel formula, less cylinders will always be an advantage over more cylinders. Ferrari gave up with the V12 because it was too heavy and thirsty.
Note: We should know more about what is happening in the future with regard to engines, on Friday.
