Formula 1 Could Be All-Electric By 2035, Says Fomula E Boss (Forbes)

The launch of the Gen3 Formula E car at the Monaco E-Prix 2022 is another big step forward in performance and technology for the electric racing series.

The 600kW of motors in the Gen3 car is also relatively pedestrian when you consider that a Rimac Nevera has more than twice the power. But by 2035 you can start to envisage an electric car that will be easily as fast as a Formula 1 car. That would be able to charge the existing 52kWh battery from empty to full in barely 5 minutes, which would start to make longer Formula E sessions than 45 minutes viable, even Le Mans-style 24-hour long-distance races. Formula E is hoping to test out 600kW charging, to show it can be reliable. The power of the rear 250kW (335hp) motor has been increased to 350kW (469hp). Putting this in perspective, a typical consumer-grade road EV will offer around 60kW of regeneration – one tenth of the Formula E Gen3 car. “The car will be very fast, very exciting to drive,” says Filippi. With the Gen3 car, Formula E aims to make 40% of its energy usage during the race come from regeneration, which is an incredible result considering how much more efficient electric vehicles already are than fossil fuel-powered ones. The launch of the Gen3 Formula E car at the Monaco E-Prix last weekend is another big step forward in performance and technology for the electric racing series. Apart from the range from a single “refueling” stop, consumer EVs are already surpassing fossil-fuel powered ones for performance. “The objective of the first generation of was to demonstrate that electric racing was viable,” says Filippi, who has worked with Formula E since the beginning. The Formula E race car has undergone a much more radical development than Formula 1 since the electric race series’ inception in 2014. The car was faster and had much longer range because now we could do the whole race with one car.”

Formula 1: Organisers unveil their must-see show at Miami Grand ... (Firstpost)

F1 will have three races in the USA in 2023 when a November night race is added to the calendar on the Las Vegas Strip to go alongside Miami, Texas.

The governing body for F1 says the jewellery is a safety hazard, but Hamilton said he cannot remove his piercings and was willing to miss the race. This is the first real hot race of the season, so that's been a factor, but the car is working well and it's only Friday so we're not getting too carried away." "But I think the new step that's been taken into bringing awareness, you know, the Netflix show, it's really brought in that amazing fanbase," Hamilton said. "I think (it's) perhaps more a cultural thing here in the States," Hamilton said. Formula One, the sleek, wealthy globetrotting series that has exploded in popularity in North America, formally opened its three-day Miami Grand Prix on Friday with a must-be-there vibe and the promise of more to come. Celebrities roaming the grounds in the shadow of an NFL stadium with fans nearby trying to catch a glimpse of some real Netflix stars.

You can enjoy a sport for the athleticism, or in terms of motorsport, the technical prowess, all manner of things – but I think the thing that keeps everybody hooked is the storyline part of it.” Domenicali said he doesn't like hearing people say, "but that is not Formula 1." And that’s the beauty between the connection of the American community and Formula 1. And I think that’s the biggest thing in any sport. Liberty has concentrated efforts on the youth market, Taylor said. We bring that together, and this is something that is super-positive.” "Suddenly, for many reasons of course, now it seems that the interest in Formula 1 has never been so high." According to ESPN, the U.S. rights-holder, 963,000 viewers tuned in to the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the final installment of the 2021 season and the Max Verstappen (Red Bull) vs. Embracing social media seems to have heightened the attachment.

Sebastian Vettel held court in Miami roundtable with a dozen climate change scientists, engineers, land use experts, and NGO activists.

Vettel noted in the discussion that he is aware that auto racing, with its emissions, opens him up to questions of hypocrisy. Vettel left after the discussion to rejoin his Aston Martin racing team. "We can be heading toward a world that can be so much better." And business entrepreneurs talked about harnessing technologies and the booming digital currency and assets trade to further bolster financing for other mitigation. When not behind the wheel of his Aston Martin team racing machine, Vettel is touting and championing efforts to address climate change. Like her U.S. women's soccer teammates, Abby Wambach, who played at the University of Florida, is outspoken about equal pay for women.

“I met a bunch of kids from diverse backgrounds, who now want to get into engineering and STEM subjects,” Hamilton said. His week in Miami Gardens is a window into more. In 2017, he voiced his excitement about the idea when F1 started scouting downtown Miami for a potential road race. Hamilton, who is the only Black driver in Formula One history, is the closest thing his sport has to a household name in the US. He’s something of an iconoclast — every few years, a threat of suspension seems to follow Hamilton, including the latest one regarding the earrings he wears in his car — and has the charisma Miamians tend to love. “It definitely does have a significance,” Hamilton said Friday. “The first five or 10, maybe five years or so I didn’t see many people of color in the grandstands. When I was on stage, very, very few people of color — not as diverse as I’d hoped and, as I said, yesterday I was standing on stage and I’m seeing the crowd.

After some brushes with the law, he began cutting Major League Baseball players’ hair in 1993 and now has a barbershop inside the Miami Marlins’ stadium. Mr. Shapiro’s club admits only owners of classic cars restored to their original condition, like his 1968 MGB-GT in “Old English White.” The members hold shows during the mild winter and spring seasons. Florida likes to build highways, despite the state’s vulnerability to climate change, and ordinary Miamians, with limited public transportation options, spend long hours in their cars. “Cars were the excuse, but ultimately it was all about the people,” he said. Organizers had wanted to race downtown, between Biscayne Bay and the gleaming Miami skyline. He would order a latte and a croissant and mingle. Esteban Ocon, a driver for the Alpine team in this weekend’s race, was eager to experience the city and its car culture firsthand. A high-rise building in Sunny Isles Beach, the Porsche Design Tower, has an elevator that delivers cars to residents’ doors. The oldest model on display is a 1933 Alfa Romeo. A Lamborghini, a Maserati. High-end Porsches and Ferraris.” Some owners install air-conditioners and dehumidifiers in their garages. When the rapper Pitbull featured Charlie Brown in a music video, Juice forbade the lightly dressed young women swaying in the back from wearing shoes.
