Ross Brawn, sports boss Formula 1, admitted quite frankly: “To be honest and candid, we don’t know where this path is going." That means that formula 1 it has no plan for what is to follow the current ones V6 hybrid engine. And the debate on that is already in the introduction very hot. On the one hand we have puristwhich require that it must formula 1 necessarily continue with internal combustion engines. Still others are of the opinion that it should Formula 1 say goodbye to these dirty engines. So what do you do to stay on one side relevant, on the other hand you don't chase fans? Nothing an easy task for Ross Brown and his team.
British preferably put on politics, which must determine the direction. But Brown does not believe in electric drive feces a remedy for the future. “To focus only on a particular technology is very primitive. For me as an engineer, it is not solid and unimaginable to have an infrastructure that is only suitable for electric cars in 15 years."It simply came to our notice then vladeto take into account the whole big picture in ecological backpack personal mobility from A to Z. Therefore Brown expects to discover list of solutions, modeled on: “We are here today, we want to get there, so this is the best solution."
And this one "the best solution”For society and also for Formula 1 it has not yet been found. But Brown has at least one solution or approach. A case of synthetic fuel (E-Fuel), ie fuel that angle basic raw material does not use oil, but for example Natural Gas ali biomass and - according to the theory - it would be more environmentally friendly than current gasoline. According to Brawn could formula 1 started with just that and took a pioneering role. “If we make an advertisement for this technology, then Formula 1 can become a decisive driving force,”To me Britishwho is convinced that the industry - above all large oil concerns - joined here. “Because we should generate alternative revenues for the future. We as Formula 1 could be the catalyst for this development.“I could, then conjunctivalbecause nothing is concluded in this respect.
In words Chase Careya, boss Formula 1, this is also due to the fact that it is even council of experts disunited in what it is the best tactic for the future. “Most acknowledge that there is no patent solution, but a wide range of solutions.”The American agrees Brawnwho says yes electric drive it cannot be the only answer to current questions. His assessment is as follows: “Electric propulsion has to some extent been chosen as a miracle weapon, although there are ecological problems here as well. The infrastructure behind this is also a big issue. So do the costs.”According to Americans can be electric drives at most only part of the answer, not the only answer.
It is from his point of view Formula 1 already well placed. It has a z engine internal combustion and benefits renewable energy. Now in words Carey needs synthetic fuel and further technologiesto have a solution for future drives. All of this, however, is not a topic for the year 2021when it occurs new Formula 1 regulations, but only for a year 2025 or later.
