F1's looming crisis

You know Formula 1, the car race sport that is massively popular around the world and skyrocketed to fame in the US in 2022 based on the popularity of the Netflix series Drive to Survive. That F1.

F1 gets all this money and attention because big companies are investing in and advertising their cutting edge tech. - basically “look how great we are at building cars, buy from us!” But that also means that the tech gets outdated, that's a problem...

F1 will always be relevant for the racing. We don't need horses but people watch horse racing.

"So is F1 going to go fully electric or somebody else going to get their first"

Formula E: "Am I a joke to you?"

[hugowells]

“Could someone else get there first?” Formula E is in its 9th season

Let me rant for a moment- I’m not saying there isn’t some benefit, but production and disposal of batteries have environmental implications that have yet to be addressed

In the good ol' days, F1 was there to sell cigarettes.

No, the looming crisis is called Max Verstappen.

The electric vehicle industry is *UTTERLY UNSUSTAINABLE!!*

[TheShoaibworld]

There is no crisis... We going synthetic fuel mode... Even audi n porsche are joining in.

California: you're not allowed to buy any cars that aren't electric.

Also California: you're not allowed to charge your car right now because the power grid can't handle it.

[RawleMaicoo]

Problem is I don’t think the majority of the world can afford going fully electric

[pgmallon]

Technology isn't "moving on". Electric cars are being legislated into existence. Big difference.

[lunaticgamer]

True F1 fans know they are going to use synthetic fuel from 2026

She called F1 a group science project and I can't even argue that lol

[stephensegal]

Actually, the hybrid platform is a much better solution than is fully electric. MIT has a new concrete formulation that offers capacitance or "charging as you drive over/across it", but it will take a few minutes to implement it into the mix. 😊

“It’s a group science project” I absolutely LOVE that description! 😂😂

[monsieurkesselring]

if formula 1 becomes like formula e im gonna start watching horse races

[Dara-ihjq]

I’m pretty sure the people who love Formula One could care less about what people are driving on the road. In fact, it will probably make it even more romantic if nobody gets to hear an engine scream unless they go watch Formula One.

formula e: exist

Everyone: iS fOrMulA oNE gOnNa gO eLeCtRiC

Crisis?

We got 6 different manufacturers in 2026 :

☑️ Audi
☑️ Ford
☑️ Mercedes
☑️ Alpine
☑️ Honda
☑️ Ferrari

I couldn't possibly disagree with you more
