How about flying from China to Brazil for the the last two races? lol, I always found that very funny.
Which is still miniscule in the grand scheme of things.
Formula 1 can achieve much more in technical development than it can by cutting its own emissions.
In other biofuel news: V8 Supercars (the Australian touring car category) is going to run 85% biofuel next year. The only major racing category in the world to run such a high level of biofuel apparently.

Biofuels are great and all, but they have substantially raised the price of food around the world. Food commodity prices are out of control.

whoa, I just found out, a guy who is a co-host with his father of F1 coverage here, had an accident in a Ferrari Modena
Apparently, he (or the other journalist who was with him and who died in the accident) was driving a main street here in Warsaw, and hit a bump on the road at 200 kph went airborne and on the grass hitting a concrete pillar and then caught fire
he's in a coma with broken back and internal injuries.
Whoever was driving got what they deserved, luckily no one else was injured

The constant Lewis talk does get annoying, but ITV guys have a bit more experience, and know when to put emphasis on what is going.
