The irony of F1’s “green engines”: - All race cars combined over a season: ~150 tonnes CO₂/year ...

💡Fun Facts

• 1F1's total carbon footprint exceeds 250,000 tonnes annually, mostly from freight flights, dwarfing track emissions[1].
• 2Race fuel for a season across all cars emits ~150 tonnes CO₂, less than a single Boeing 747 flight[1].
• 3V12 engines were phased out in 1995; fans miss their ~15,000 RPM scream versus current V6 hybrids[1].
• 4F1 aims for net-zero by 2030, but logistics remain the biggest emissions hurdle[1].
• 5Even if V12s tripled fuel use, engines would still be under 1% of F1's total footprint as claimed[1].
