I’m 100% behind removing the blankets. One of the stated impacts is towards sustainability targets. However, the main contribution to F1 emissions is shipping/logistics. Until they address the calendar and the ridiculous waste associated to the unnecessary jet setting across the world, it’s all meaningless.
Spot on, it’s window dressing to such an absurd point
Also I want to see drivers have to demonstrate the skill of managing tire heat.
I think that rule is stupid. They will save what? 230k per weekend, thats 5.3mil per season, and teams spend 135mil per season. Is that 5 mil that teams save really that important? If they really wanted to save enviroment and be “carbon neutral” they would at least try to make number of races smaller and calendar more enviroment friendly, this blanket bullshit is just PR.
Exactly, the calendar is absolutely insane, fix the damn logistics that not only are far from efficient from an environmental standpoint - that has to take a toll on the teams and the personnel and I believe we’re getting, step by step, closer to them saying ok enough
