F1 Racing Green – a new quarterly, bagged with F1 Racing – may strike the uninitiated as an unlikely project.
An eco-conscious F1 publication? Preposterous, surely? But F1 Racing Green’s remit makes complete sense in this changing world, as the first issue – Spring – made clear.
The sport itself has been carbon-neutral for more than a decade now, funding as it does, massive tree-planting programmes in Mexico. The FIA is gradually introducing regulations to ensure F1 teams embrace greener technologies, making Formula 1 not so much part of the problem, as part of the solution.
Motor sport, at the cutting edge of engineering development, is uniquely able to evolve green technologies quickly (such as regenerative braking and bio-fuels) that will gradually filter down to family hatchbacks.
These and many more exciting developments in Formula 1 are the brief that makes F1 Racing Green such an important new Haymarket voice.
