It’s impossible to ignore the fact that the planet is dying. Climate change is real. Whether you believe it’s man made or not, you have to accept there’s certain things that just don’t need to be done, one of those things is petrol based motorsport. How is it that we keep allowing these polluting races to take place, especially when we have carbon neutral alternatives available. I don’t understand why Formula 1 is still a thing when we have Formula E.
If you put all of those teams and drivers, in formula e, the crowd would follow. They’re still very fast cars after all.
It wouldn’t make a difference, electric cars are still a terrible backbone of a country’s mobility mix, and formula E is still PR for those same companies.
You’re most likely right that the fans would eventually follow, but it wouldn’t necessarily be a positive evolution.
Cars in general are a terrible backbone for a country’s mobility. But even buses should be replaced by light-rail if we’re honest.
