It’s impossible to ignore the fact that the planet is dying. Climate change is real. Whether you believe it’s man made or not, you have to accept there’s certain things that just don’t need to be done, one of those things is petrol based motorsport. How is it that we keep allowing these polluting races to take place, especially when we have carbon neutral alternatives available. I don’t understand why Formula 1 is still a thing when we have Formula E.
First, Formula 1 is hybrid and the amount of fuel used in a race is miniscule compared to the carbon footprint of traveling to the race itself : something Formula E also suffers from. Second, Formula 1 (as well as other gas powered motorsports) are the forge for innovation in the space and are what moves consumer vehicles to better, lighter weight materials, hybrid drivetrains, safety gear, air effects, etc
