i always wonder why Formula One and Formula E are different things. seems to make sense to me that the F1 cars should all be running on electric engines -- and i'm aware that the race cars are a tiny, tiny drop in the general emissions of the sport -- and working to improve them.

As a long-time fan I disagree. Yes, I personally drive an EV. Yeah, EVs are the future. But for the sport and spectacle of F1 I want to see and hear a screaming V10 tear by, not a quiet and efficient electric car. Unfortunately the automotive industry marketing and greenwashing demand at least hybrids..
