"The championship expects internal combustion engines will be part of a net-zero carbon future. “We believe that with over 1 billion of the 1.1 billion vehicles in the world powered by internal combustion engines, we have the potential to lead the way in technologies that reduce automotive carbon emissions globally.
“We also believe that there is not a single solution to the engine technologies of the future but that a sustainably fuel hybrid engine will be a significant moment for the sport and the automotive sector.”
What rubbish. Scrap all combustion engines together you can find in each corner of the world (including the billions of mopeds in Asia and other places) and put them on one pile and use that as an argument for the current hybrid engines. As if any of those mopeds will ever use any F1 hybrid tech.
If they would split up the argument and use it to argue solely in favour for synthetic fuel than it would make sense, but to use it as an argument to maintain hybrid tech is non-sense and frankly just disingenuous.
I suppose letting go of the current hybrid formula would signal that we're facing the end of the current combustion technology in the non-budget automotive world and acknowledging that fact now by getting rid off hybrid engines for 2023 would not suit the agenda of the automotive manufacturers.
