The father of Lewis Hamilton shared a digital render of the project on social media, describing it as an AI-generated representation of the direction engineers are currently pursuing rather than a finalised race car.
The image offers the clearest indication yet of what competitors could eventually drive in the championship, which Hamilton first unveiled earlier this year as a new global series centred on V10-powered machinery.
Hamilton said the project has now entered a new phase as aerodynamic evaluation continues behind the scenes.
“HybridV10 is now progressing through CFD development, with early results proving extremely encouraging,” Hamilton wrote.
“At this stage, the real work is happening in the engineering: aerodynamics, performance validation and the overall race car concept. But CFD is not always the most exciting thing to look at.
“This visual has been created using AI to bring that development direction to life, giving fans, partners and the wider motorsport world an early sense of what HybridV10 is becoming.”

The latest update comes days after Hamilton confirmed the initial design stage had been completed, allowing work to move into aerodynamic analysis as the concept advances towards its long-term launch target.
Since announcing the project, Hamilton has repeatedly stated that the goal extends beyond simply reviving larger-capacity engines. Instead, the focus has been on creating a category that places greater emphasis on the racing product itself.
“No gimmicks. No DRS. Driver-first racing,” he reiterated in the latest post.
Hamilton added that the championship is being shaped around a number of key principles that he believes are essential to elite-level motorsport.
“HybridV10 is being developed from a clean sheet, focused on what we believe top-tier motorsport should be about,” he said.
“Raceability, sound, fan connection, driver influence, and the spectacle of racing itself.”
The HybridV10 concept was launched in January with ambitions of creating a worldwide championship featuring a headline V10 category, with a V8-based class expected to follow at a later stage.
Earlier plans outlined a target launch window of 2028 or 2029, with organisers aiming to create a cost-controlled platform that expands opportunities for drivers while delivering a different style of racing to existing major championships.
