    Lol, yeah. That’s how my friend tries to get me into Formula 1, and I can definitely see and respect it from that angle. I just can’t get past the resources wasted to make a spectacle out of it. I’m just a curmudgeon like that haha.

    Those arguments go away with Formula-E but I just haven’t dove into it

      But they don’t. Formula E is bullshit Greenwashing. Whatever these cars burn in a race weekend is a drop in the bucket compared to the vast waste of resources used to fly hundreds of tonnes of equipment and cars and people around the world. Formula E could be entirely in Europe with races a short distance apart.

        The win would be the engineering knowledge gained from pushing an electric vehicle to it’s absolute limits, at least in theory.
