I think this is great. The current hybrid powertrains are so complicated and expensive. Just move to zero carbon e-fuels like Porsche is experimenting with and simpler engines.

Yeah the e-fuels are crazy expensive; but the small volume that F1 would require would still probably be cheaper than the current total costs of all the hybrid stuff.

They legally can’t go full electric until something like 2035, formula e has an exclusivity license for that

Please bring back the screaming engine era 🥺

F1 is not a technology driver anymore, it is a follower. They only adopt green technology as a marketing strategy, not with any sincere goals of pushing it forward globally.

Might be alone here but louder cars don’t make for better racing. I’d rather make all the cars quieter and do less damage to everyone’s hearing, make it more enjoyable to see in person, easier to hold races in heavily populated areas, etc…
