Econologiquement yours.
I do not disagree. You are certainly right.
The thing is, the more time passes, the more I tell myself that each thermal engine that turns is a little less life expectancy for my kids. So I tend to get a little allergic to it all.
Especially when the said engines are only running for the pleasure of a few fans and advertisers.
And besides, the beautiful mechanics, in the proper sense of the term, we can also have in hydraulics, in pneumatics, in short in many fields where the primary driving energy does not necessarily come from fossil carbon.
What if this is the real beauty of motorsport?

Rather than burying itself in trying to improve a concept that is almost a century old and whose returns, intrinsically, will never take off from the "big waste" zone, why all these valiant men (but not Michel
) engineers and technicians would not use the money at their disposal to Rethink the car rather than go after pitiful improvements that, anyway, no one will have time to take advantage of since they will arrive at the common of mortals at the same time as the barrel at $ 3000?
