I've not crunched the numbers myself but the actual racing probably produces a lot less pollution than the logistics of teams and fans travelling to each race, and given that there are only 20-odd races per year all the fans travelling around the world probably causes less overall pollution than something like football where there are loads of big matches every week.

Interestingly one of the purposes/benefits of f1 is (supposed to be) pioneering new technology. For instance, the fuel is (supposedly) now sustainability produced, and I think a lot of the hybrid engine tech developed for f1 then made its way to road cars. Of course most of the biggest sponsors are oil companies looking to throw away the electric tech now, so who knows what the fuck the future looks like...

What do you think has happened over the last decade? I remember it being pretty good when it first came out, but there's a lot of spyware and adware that's frog-boiled its way in over the years.

You don't even need to jailbreak LG ones, just enable developer mode, install webosbrew, and install things like youtube adfree and space cadet pinball
