Then we still have to add fuel used with testing. Resources used to build the cars. Oh and the fuel all those huge airplane use as well as the team trucks. Oh, and then we also need to add the resources used every race weekend.
And it´s still much
less then a two-way trip from Tokyo to New York...
That is true. It still is less than that trip. But still, Formula 1 is a big market and they consume a lot of fuel every year, which can easily be reduced and have a big effect on image as well as the environment(but mostly the sport it's image).
Also true.
However when you realize there´s about 90,000 flights per day, all this environmental stuff aimed at F1 is frankly ridiculous.
When airplanes and oil tankers start running on other fuels then we can start pointing at motorsport.
I do understand it helps motorsport stay relevant (or as is) with the green thing. People say oh we don´t need that, it burns fuel then F1 can say we have done this and this and this to reduce our footprint.
One day full of fuel for the travel industry would be enough to sustain F1 for
90,000 years... Just one day.
