    Hopefully electric cars, just like idiots, are not what the future holds for mankind.

    I don't think we have to worry about electric cars for a while. The battery technology is miles off what it needs to be in order for full electric cars to be viable.

    The only thing silly is the idea of electric powered F1. Political correctness to appease self-absorbed greenieweenies has no place in racing.

    Racing will die otherwise, mark my words.

    I'm sure Bernie says what he does about electric pit lanes, because he knows that fans want noise.

    I can't remember who said it, but one of the big wig engineers said that they've never had problems with creating some sort of noise in F1 when asked about the possible electric pitlane.

    I, for one, can imagine some high pitched whine while racing down the pitlanes, sorta like straight gears in a transaxle.

    Viable in a race or viable on the street? In a race it's simply a matter of changing batteries.
