FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem teased an imminent announcement about Formula 1's return to V8 engines in the next decade, saying "watch this space" in a social post and interview. The story is one day old, with fresh coverage focusing on his commitment.

How the sources differ

ESPN F1 reports the teaser as a news item, while the r/formula1 social post shares Ben Sulayem's direct quote. PlanetF1 covers a separate FIA announcement about banning a hidden development war in 2027, which is unrelated to the V8 engine story.
