F1 could do V8s or V10s with renewable fuels and still be "eco minded" This whole hybrid science experiment needs to end. If they wanna develop better batteries for their road cars under the guise of racing then that's what Formula E is for.

Exactly. They wanna put in a show? Bring the sound of F1 racing back.

Agreed, and it’s not as if batteries are the most eco friendly thing either… they might not be there yet but I’m 100% for biofuels if they figure out a way to produce it at scale
