Environmental debate: How Formula 1 is supposed to secure its future

The question of how Formula 1 can legitimize its meaning of existence is quite justified in these times, especially given the fact that Formula E is becoming increasingly important.

Environmental the debate addresses all areas of social importance, especially here on "blow”Transport sector as the main polluter of the climate carbon dioxide. Driving with avtomobili will be irritated. V Germany for example, up to a year 2030 on their roads vehicle from seven to ten million electric cars. Hopefully, by then, they will also save the supply of electricity, and we are in a vicious circle again. However, at that time the demand for electric cars still quite small. There are many reasons to be too high entry barrier (price) or people still love their hobbies on petrol or diesel. We believe the latter love it too Formula 1 as it once was: crunchy, loud, raw.

In a big context formula 1 moves to a major change in the rules for the year 2021. Excluding all measurements wings in aerodynamic specifications, must be the main thing question read: How will it be motorsport in this increasingly burning time climate change legitimized its meaning of existence? Otherwise, it's a few Excessively, but basically real and in place, of which he is also aware formula 1. The process started a long time ago. Already in the year 2014 continued in the royal class of motorsport the so-called downsizing. Then they are old 2,4 liter V8 engines replaced 1,6 liter turbo engines with hybrid peripherals. Hybrid technology she got the advantage, with her very complex aggregates and the wonders of engineering. But this message has missed the point and this is a departure from the characteristic hellish rumble engines, which greatly disturbed the purists Formula 1. And not just you.

Five years later, the noise subsided due to too little noise. Because it is green look (a famous word used primarily by politicians) showed as without alternative. "Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport. Here, in technical terms, we cannot go back to the level of 30 years ago,”He argued Toto Wolff, team boss Mercedes. New turbo engines, including hybrid periphery, are based on their own thermal efficiency much more important since Formula 1 make it attractive to concerns. Otherwise, so Wolff, today v Formulas 1 we certainly wouldn’t see any major manufacturers anymore. formula 1 has the most efficient and powerful engine and technical advances have made these race cars high-tech machines, he adds Wolffemphasizing: "It is precisely this technology that is also being transferred to road cars."

With the new rules of 2021, Formula 1 should be even closer to the "green note" and be more environmentally friendly.

Preparing for serial production is a traditional pillar motorsport. It’s not just that 22 cold-blooded racers finds out who is the fastest on the track. Chase carey, boss Formula 1, speaks in important tones when opposed to analysts from Wallstreet underlines sustainability efforts. “We will do significantly more in this area in the autumn.”Lower emissions V6 turbo engines, should be made clearer to the public communicate and expose. "I think that has more plus points for us than anything else,” he says Tortoiseshell. "It's all about sustainability and getting CO2 neutral,”He added Toto wolff, thus dropping the main cue.

From 2021 onwards, the introduction of synthetic fuel is expected to start, but the so-called E-Fuel will not be available enough at the beginning, so in the first season its share will be only around 20%.

From year 2021 forward, supposedly formula 1 used synthetic fuel, so-called E-fuel, which partially arises from renewable energies and will approach CO2 neutral values, which would Formula 1 rewarded even with an advantage over the electric series Formula E. That's it E-fuel fuel is not yet available in sufficient quantitiesto be able to take the whole season with him. That will make it a part of it synthetic fuel first moving somewhere between 20 and 25 percent. Over the years, the proportion of this synthetic fuel is only expected to increase, s the ultimate goal, from formula 1 one day it becomes independent of fossil fuels.

After 2025, according to the plan of the Formula 1 leaders, the royal class should be independent of fossil fuels.

formula 1 still enjoys the role of pioneer, but Formula E is becoming increasingly important, especially for manufacturers. In season 2019/2020 they will be in this electric series racing formulas as well Mercedes in Porsche. Pressure changes on Formula 1 not to be underestimated. Jean Todt, president of the umbrella organization FIA, he called formula za Formula 1"Hybrid technology, energy efficiency, ever-lower fuel consumption - these are the most important factors for the future."
