F1: Should Formula 1 ditch the heavy hybrid engines? (2nd Update)

“I arrived in 2018 and the cars were already quite heavy,” Ferrari F1 driver Charles Leclerc told Autosport.

“I drove a 2003 F1 car in Abu Dhabi with 50 kilos of fuel, but you can definitely feel the difference with today’s car. I don’t like heavy cars. I think for the agility of the car and for also the slow speed corners, now you can really feel the weight.

“But I have to say that what we are experiencing in medium to high speed with the downforce we have today is incredible compared to 12 or 13 years ago, and this is very impressive.

“So, I think it’s a balance. I wouldn’t want to go higher than the weight we have now, that’s for sure. But also going very light compromises also the aero that we have because the car is huge, and that produces also a lot more aero compared to 12 years ago.”

Another top scientist, Dr. John F. Clauser, joint recipient of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics, calls man-made climate change a big hoax.

According to Dr. Clauser, “The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people.

“Misguided climate science has metastasized into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience. In turn, the pseudoscience has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other unrelated ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies, and environmentalists.”

“In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis. There is, however, a very real problem with providing a decent standard of living to the world’s expanding population, especially given an associated energy crisis. The latter is being unnecessarily exacerbated by what, in my opinion, is incorrect climate science,” he said.

If these top scientists say man-made global warming is a hoax, and if they are correct, what the hell, are motorsports series doing bending over backward to increase costs for something that these scientists claim is one big lie perpetrated by a dishonest political party and the scientists it pays to come up with data to support their lie?

Should Formula 1 wake up to the fact that they have been climate-changed duped, like so many others who follow the narrative like a guppy, and ditch the heavy hybrid engines and batteries for screaming lightweight naturally aspirated engines?

Given that scientists like the one below are coming out and saying there is no real man-made climate change and all the articles you read about it are using manipulated data from scientists who feed off the government-money-trough to advance a false narrative, what the hell are we doing?

F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has said that F1 could return to naturally aspirated engines without hybrids using e-fuels. We question whether e-fuels are even needed if we believe scientists who are not feeding off the government money trough.

“With e-fuel we will be able to think of simpler and lighter single-seaters equipped with aspirated engines without a hybrid and capable of returning that we were used to.”

All the drivers say the current cars are too heavy and in 2026 they are about to get even heavier because the batteries will be larger.

Perhaps F1 should listen to them, stop believing the lies told by scientists getting paid by the government to advance their false narrative for political gain, and produce cars that fans and driver alike with go crazy over.
