At the same time as having tryes designed to fail, and thousands tyres being chucked away unused each season, F1 are making noises about going carbon neutral, which is totally bizarre (to me at least).
Having tires designed to fail is not good from both an economical and sporting point of view, but it does not prevent Formula One from becoming carbon neutral.
