Not even what the racing cars them selves waste. How about the massive transportation costs from race to race? I'm sure it takes a massive toll on the environment when McLaren wants to transport their building they call a motor home.
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 |

Still, I like them more then the ITV's Lewis Hamilton show |

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. |
