9: Paddy Lowe: From F1 Titles With Lewis Hamilton To Zero Emission Fuels

  • Summary

  • This week James looks into the future and asks what F1’s move to zero emission fuels from 2026 actually means.

    If the cars are zero emission, you don’t need hybrid technology anymore, so will it open the door for the return of the lighter, great sounding V8 and V10 engines of the past? Or is hybrid tech the only thing keeping the manufacturers in F1?

    And what exactly are these magical fuels? Former Mercedes F1 technical chief Paddy Lowe tells us synthetic fuels that cost a fortune today will be cheaper to buy than normal fuels in 10 years and therefore affordable for owners of the billion-plus cars on the road.

    Here to help demystify all of this are Autosport F1 Editor Jon Noble and special guest Joe Brown, former Executive Editor of Wired and founder of One5C, a platform dedicated to sustainable solutions to real world problems.
