Formula One isn't just about speed to the finish line. It's also a race against carbon emissions. The sport has faced criticism for its hefty carbon footprint, but has pledged to reach net-zero emissions by 2030. 

Although teams are switching to more renewable fuels and hybrid engines, changes on the track are only a fraction of the challenge. The real challenge lies in tackling transportation, logistics, and entire race day operations. Teams are hauling equipment around the world and not always able to control the fuel type along the way.  

F1's green revolution is trying to prove that even the fastest sports can slow down their environmental impact. 

For the sustainability of the sport, a transition to 100% electric cars is likely in the future. This transition can benefit from the experiences gained with Formula E, which employs fully electric vehicles. However, several factors must be considered before fully electrifying F1 cars, including regulation changes, battery weight, battery safety and charging infrastructure.
