In the wake of the UK governmentbecoming the
latest to announce a ban on sales of cars with internal
combustion engines, the bosses ofF1’s commercial rights
holder have hit back against such measures. The UK ban,
which will include cars with hybrid powertrains, is due to
come into force in 2035.
“I’ve rea d a lo t of experts, so to speak,on the
enviro nmentalissue, and I think the wide majority
reco gnise that you’re goingto have an arrayof sol ution s,
there’s not a silver bullet,”
F1 CEO ChaseCarey said.
“Electric has become a little
bit of a silver bullet. There
are environmental issues
around electric,there are
infrastructureissues,thereare
cost of electric vehicle issues.
“It will be part of the
answer, but I think the
answer is goingto be a
number of things. In many
ways, a combustionengine with synthetic fuels and other
types of technology andenerg y recapture, they will be the
most important element to the solution.”
Last year the commercial rights holder committedto
pu tting moreeffort into publicising theeffectiveness and
technical leadership of F1’shybrid powertrains, which have
reached over50%thermal efficiency. Hybrid powertrains
were anticipated to remain a partof F1 long intothe fu ture,
and perhaps even to becarbon net-zero by2030.
F1 will increasethe bio content in its fuels from next
year and has suggested that it could take a technology
leadership role in thedevelopment of alternative fuels
in the future. These could take the form of second-
generation biofuels or syntheticfuels which areproduced
without hazardouselements such as sulphur.
All-electric powertrains emit no carbon dioxidewhile in
use, but the electricityto charge them must be generated,
and current battery technology relies on exotic materials
which are difficult and expensive to source and recycle.
“I think governments need to look atthe whole picture,”
said F1 managing director of motorsports Ross Brawn.
“We need to look at the dust-to-dust carbon impactof
personal transportation. Picking on a specific technology
is crude. For me, as an engineer, it doesn’t make sense. It
should be ‘this is where we are now, this is where wewant
to be, what’s thebest solution in thatprocess?’”INSIDER
