I understand the political push for F1 to be "greener" but lets get real, just flying the vehicles, staff and equipment for the 20 teams for one race to the other side of the world has to be more CO2 in the air than I can imagine.

F1 is really about the very fastest race cars at the bleeding edge of technology. Tire use is an obvious thing to restrict how many tires a team can use, but I miss the days of coming in for multiple sets of new sticky tires and blistering lap times and lots of passing to get the pit stop time back, or just keep the lead.

The tire use is a minuscule carbon cost compared to the carbon cost of just the fans showing up.
