Well, turbos haven't actually been "killed" yet have they - they're still eligible to run and they're part of the Gen 3 discussion according to the linked article.
To my mind they really do need to at least look at Hybrid - not of the Prius variety but more like the McLaren etc variety that is appearing on more high-performance cars.
It could provide a boost in power that might allow for a less-expensive, less-powerful and lower-maintenance version of the current V8s that together with hybrid provide similar power to what we see now and similar noises but MAY achieve lower costs for teams and more appeal for a wider range of manufacturers.
Of course, once they look at it, they may feel that it really is neither appropriate nor cost-effective but in today's world, it makes sense to at least investigate the idea fully.
