F1 don't care for the environment? I don't think so.
F1 cars used highly volatile rocket fuels around 10 years ago. They now use an unleaded based fuel.
The FIA have a scheme of planting trees based on the amount of co2 produced by the teams in the season.
McLaren are building Paragon (lovely) and they are thinking about energy saving in the building. They also removed all the snakes and wildlife that would be affected in the area and relocated them.
The FIA banned the use of berillium based alloys.
The old racing tyres used by the teams are not thrown away but are used as tyre walls around kart tracks or as coffee tables.
We all pollute the atmosphere, but because F1 is a very commerical activity means that a lot of people judge it.
Look at the military!!!! afterburning, nuclear weapons, tanks that burn tonnes of fuel and give off a lot of black smoke and NOx. Ok you could argue that they are there for a reason. to protect.
F1 is there for a reson, to provide entertainment, to develop new technology etc. Without motorsport technology and development, the advances in road vehicle economy, design, construction and comfort would be far worse than it is now.
