F1 eyes 3.0L V8 turbos and smaller hybrids for 2030

The FIA, FOM, teams and engine manufacturers have reached a preliminary agreement on F1's next power unit rules from 2030: 3.0L turbocharged V8s replacing the current 1.6L V6 turbos, with electric assistance cut to around 100 kW. The new units should be at least 50 kg lighter than today's 185 kg minimum.
