That is true....but I forgot to mention that I only prefer 2 pedals with a semi-auto (behind the wheel)....if it's a manual I prefer 3.

But using a clutch with a manual gearbox is interrupting power flow from the engine to the wheels. If you have powershift, use it!

How often do you press the clutch when you're not changing gear? So why press a clutch when you are changing? Surely better just to have uninterrupted power from engine to wheels. There are single clutch "dual clutch" transmissions (if that makes sense to you) in design, for people that want to interrupt the power during gearshifts and operate a clutch themselves, but they are people that are resistant to change; they will be slower since the engine is effectively off for the duration of the gearshift.

Back to the topic..... Eco F1

Have you thought about the use of Biofuels for Otto engines?
From 2006 onwards all the fuel distributed in Europe should have at least 2% of biocomponents.... What does it mean: all the fuel should have some renewable components and this percentage will increase year by year.

Why not start to use biofuels in F1 from now?????

Mr Mosley can show that F1 is in the cutting edge of future technologies to reduce exhaust emissions !!!
