&#8211; but 2009 world champion outlines a major caveat<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Formula One replaced naturally-aspirated engines with hybrid units in 2014\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The sport will be even more reliant on electric energy from 2026\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Button hopes sustainable fuels could lead to combustion engines returning<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Jenson Button wants to see combustion engines reintroduced in Formula One, provided they can be run on sustainable fuels.<\/p>\n<p>The sport bid farewell to naturally-aspirated V8 engines nine years ago and replaced them with\u00a01.6-litre turbocharged V6 power units which are supported by energy recovery systems that the drivers can deploy.<\/p>\n<p>Formula One&#8217;s so-called &#8216;Hybrid Era&#8217; will enter a new phase from 2026, with cars to be powered by new engines running on sustainable fuels but with a higher proportion of electrical power.<\/p>\n<p>Button has backed the sport&#8217;s push to become more environmentally friendly and believes sustainable fuels could pave the way to a return to combustion engines, which would improve both the quality of racing and the sound of the cars.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the Goodwood Revival earlier this week, the 2009 world champion suggested running combustion engines on sustainable fuel would represent a perfect solution for the sport.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/14\/09\/75421991-0-image-a-27_1694681868275.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jenson Button has called for Formula One to reintroduce combustion engines as long as they can be run on sustainable fuels<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I love that we&#8217;re pushing different technologies and I love that we&#8217;re pushing EV, hydrogen, but for me the most exciting has to be sustainable fuels because I love a combustion engine,&#8217; he told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think every driver would hope [that Formula 1 will return to combustion engines], we just love the sound of the engines and I think it doesn&#8217;t matter how quick the car is if it sounds good, the fans love it as well.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>To ensure it meets the targets set in its 2030 &#8216;Net Zero Carbon&#8217; project, in 2026 Formula One will introduce a new carbon-free fuel to cut fossil fuel carbon emissions to zero.<\/p>\n<p>And Button believes the introduction of sustainable fuels could have a revolutionary impact not just on Formula One, but on car roads as well.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We have to be doing the right thing as well, and if we can work with sustainable fuel and we think it&#8217;s the right direction, the great thing is we have three different options for the future in terms of road cars and racing cars,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The sustainable fuel one is the most exciting for people who are in this business already.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We love the sound of a revving engine, we love how it feels underneath you in terms of the feeling you get from it, so if we can work that out that&#8217;s great.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>As part of the rule changes in 2026,\u00a0Audi and Honda will join Formula One\u00a0as engine manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/14\/10\/75422173-0-image-a-31_1694682094366.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Formula One cars are powered by 1.6-litre turbocharged V6 power units which are supported by energy recovery systems that the drivers can deploy<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/14\/09\/75422111-0-image-a-29_1694681883599.jpg\" height=\"350\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The sport last used V8 combustion engines back in 2013 after introducing them in 2006<\/p>\n<p>Cars will also be fitted with MGU-K (or Kinetic Motor Generator Unit) capable of producing three times the amount of electrical power produced by the current hybrid components.<\/p>\n<p>The higher proportion of electrical power means less fuel will be used overall &#8211; approximately 70kilograms per race, compared to 100kg in 2020 and 160kg in 2013 &#8211; but the power units will still provide over 1,000 horsepower.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to\u00a0Autosport in January, Formula One chief technical officer Pat Symonds said the new engines regulations were aimed at levelling the playing field.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We set a lot of high-level objectives with the new regulations, and one of the high level objectives for the 2026 power unit was to level the playing field for newcomers,&#8217;
