[QUOTE="King Arthur, post: 527984, member: 31673"] Back to the original point . . . when money is no object then almost anything is possible, so of course F1 can afford to use a fully synthetic 'green' fuel. Their fuel costs are trivial compared with all the other costs to run the global F1 circus. I suppose it's possible that economies of scale might just mean a wider adoption of an F1 technology, as it has in the past, but I think we'll be waiting a long time in this case. As for ICEs being banned completely, well steam engines are not banned are they? A friend has a stem traction engine but cheap to run it certainly isn't! The point about EV taxes is a good one though. ICE and fuel taxes are a massive income for governments and it has to be replaced somehow. Personally, I'd prefer to see a total overhaul and simplification of the tax system, perhaps based on an income tax only with none of the proliferation into 'social engineering' taxes such as alcohol duty, tobacco duty, air passenger duty , even VAT come to think of it. Just take a cut of my income and leave my spending alone! [/QUOTE]
