ANd I hope Motorsport fans that are interested in this topic really dig and chat with each other to realize that motorsport is not a REAL "problem"... and its also not the place where the world problems will be solved. Its just Propaganda. I imagine FIA know this but they gotta follow this "Agenda" (haha) in order to keep its credibility in this world...
Like.. "Yes, its a new world, new people, we gotta go this way otherwise the money will not come anymore, period."
IMO not many motorsport fans care about saving the planet either, but they see that motorsport has to follow rules, have the best modern tech available and catch the zeitgeist to be feasible, sustainable, relevant and entertaining.

On these topics: I'd almost pay someone to study the private jets leaving Cagliari airport on Sunday evening after Extreme E had finished, or just to tell me for definite that the Sainzs, Loebs and Al-Attiyahs are slumming it on scheduled flights. Somehow I think not.
