After all it's not like the interest in hybrid technology is because people think it's faster. It's because it's more likely to be accepted in the longer term as people are conscious of the limited resources our planet has.
So far nobody convinced me that bio fuels or supercomplicated hybrids, which are basically cars for first user only, are truly more ecologic solution. Simple pure electric cars are different case.

Anyway talking about ecology in case of motorsport is nothing but hypocrisy. Let's be honest. If FIA wanted to be more ecological it can start with replacing ALS with electric turbochargers. The fact is that that those few rarely running racing cars make no difference in comparison with millions of stock cars.
