    Superb.

    But it's more important to me in F1, that it's a natural/understandable progression of the automotive industry.
    I don't understand this statement. Historically, any technology developed for F1 may be adopted by automakers as a consequence.

    The problem that I see killing F1 is the madness around energy recovery systems. That appears to have been driven by the automotive industry and has been a costly, environmentally damaging and fruitless exercise.

    If you doubt what I say look to see how many actual hybrids there are on the roads so many years after the sky started falling.

    These auto makers have changed F1 in a way that it may never recover from. I fully support Formula E being incorporated into the F1 weekend. I do not support the incorporation of ER systems in F1 that will likely only find a home in long distance freight.
