Formula 1: FIA wants to move towards climate neutrality
Formula 1 strikes a balancing act between sustainability, budget ceiling and profit maximization. Time and again, activists have been at the fore in drawing Aston Martin driver Sebastian Vettel’s attention to climate change and its consequences. The racing series aims to be climate-neutral by 2023. Steps have already been taken in this direction.

In addition, freight containers were recently redesigned for more efficient transport and neutral transmission. After all, logistics account for about 70 percent of total F1 emissions.
Radical move makes teams happy
Now the FIA can take a radical step. A regionalization of the racing calendar is up in the air. In this way Formula 1 can improve its carbon footprint and significantly save on logistics. Teams will also benefit from such a change. A scattered racing calendar lasts for several hours on the plane. Now long-distance flights will have to be avoided, which will give relief to the employees.
Haas team boss Gunther Steiner is excited about such an idea. “It would be great if we could group the races regionally,” the 57-year-old was quoted as saying by “MotorsportMagazon.com”. The challenge of flying from continent to continent is great for the team. “You’re about to fly the next race and have to be ready within a few days.” Steiner is relying on Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali. “I know Stefano is working very hard on this, next year it will go in the right direction.” According to the magazine, all ten team bosses are up for regionalisation.
