As the F1 circus packed up and left after the Japanese Grand Prix, one couldn’t help but wonder about the sustainability of a racing series that will have visited 20 countries across five continents by the time the final checkered flag of 2023 is waved on Nov. 26 in Abu Dhabi.
F1’s new generation of cars, introduced this year, are running on ‘E10’ fuel – a blend of 90% fuel and 10% renewable ethanol. Work with ARAMCO, and the sport’s other fuel suppliers, has been ongoing for several months now, with systems being put in place to enable enough production of the 100% sustainable fuel to power the cars from 2026.
By taking fewer people to events, reducing the quantity of freight and helping to develop the synthetic fuels that will power road, sea and air transport, F1 has a significant opportunity. Not only to lead by example, but to create new opportunities for business development through technology transfer.
