   Time to go back to NA engines, the hybrids don't give the rock concert wall of sound

      I don't follow motorsports very closely, sorry, but racing hybrids sounds extremely queer.

      They might as well not do it at all.

      You cannot greenwash auto racing as "sustainable" when by its very nature it need not exist. It's done for sport.

      It's like people who hunt exotic animals agreeing to put suppressors on their rifles as if that somehow makes it more acceptable.

         The worst thing is that, whatever they "save" in the hybrid part, is offsetted by the amount of pollution of flying all people and machines around the world.

         Someone on reddit showed a graph comparing both, and it's just ridiculous.

         I'm an avid F1 fan since 1990s, and think hybrid engines is the wrong way to do it.

            It's not just about being environmentally friendly; hybrid engines have fairly significant performance advantages over non-hybrid engines.
