MODERATORS
That's interesting. I didn't know FE had an exclusivity license, let alone one until 2035.
I might have the year wrong but itโs 2030something
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.
Please bring back the screaming engine era ๐ฅบ
Donโt really care for the noise, but I think synthetic fuel would make more sense than hybrid ICE in F1
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 donโt make for better racing. Iโd rather make all the cars quieter and do less damage to everyoneโs hearing, make it more enjoyable to see in person, easier to hold races in heavily populated areas, etcโฆ
