For sure I don’t think F1 is gonna change for the better anytime soon with the fan base. But yes there are definitely other options to watch. WEC is goated right now and WRC is as well too. The WRC needs some new regulation because it’s slowing becoming off road F1 in terms of cost. Super GT is always has a special place in my heart too.
how do you enjoy this stuff knowing that the impacts of every gallon of gas guzzled for 'just funsies' is dooming our children's environment?
just curious.
Technologies pioneered in F1 have made their way into our lives over the decades, not just in the cars we drive, but in fields as varied as pediatric surgery and air traffic control. Every car you've ever driven was more efficient due to something that was bleeding edge in F1 years earlier.
I'm not an expert so I couldn't say how but I would be amazed if their current work with hybrid drivetrains don't improve EVs.
Yeah, F1 burns a lot of gas, but calling it "just funsies" is short sighted. If you add up it's effects over the years it's a net positive and it's not even close.
bullshit, that's exactly what it is. stop acting like idiots racing in circles is some kind of science program for the benefit of the proletariat, that's absolute garbage - these teams are sponsored by some of the worst brands (WOO MARLBORO!) - to burn gas for ENTERTAINMENT.
shortsighted lol. net positive pfft.
what delusions
