formula 1 wants to become from 2030 onwards climate neutral. To highlight their ambitions, the royal motorsport class has joined the United Nations movement in the past UN to protect the climate that sounds like a name "Sports for Climate Action Framework".
It means that formula 1 quite officially advocates for climate protection. They want to achieve this, among other things biofuels, because as early as 2023 they plan to race with the so-called E-fuel. For the founder of Formula E Alejandro Agag that is not enough. “There’s a lot of talk about E-fuel, but it’s an artificial invention for people who can’t get over internal combustion engines. These E-fuels make no sense unless you want to make any changes. I love internal combustion engines myself, but their time is running out,He said Agagwho believes it would be needed much more radical step.
"Formula 1 must become electric," so Sleep, who believes the opportunities have been missed. Former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone would take control of Formula E, expanded it as a framework series and then decided what would happen to it, he says Agag. "In terms of prestige and viewers, Formula E is very different from Formula 1 at the time. But I still think the future lies in merging the two series.“Fans motorsport however, they have their problems with the electric series of formulas and Formula E it is still deep in the shadows in many countries. Still Agag menu: “Formula 1 must in any case make the switch to electric mobility. If it doesn’t do this along with Formula E, it won’t have a chance to do so until 19 years from now."
Because Formula E is with the umbrella organization FIA signed a contract on exclusive licensesto be able to run a pure electric racing series. And that means yes formula 1 will not be able to switch to electric race cars. At least theoretically not. “Even if Formula 1 signed a contract with the FIA after the end of our license, it would be much too late. We have rights for 25 years, of which we have completed only six, and 19 years are still ahead of us,”He concluded Agag.
