SGP F1 Grand Prix Night Race just ended last weekend, with a spectacular win by Ferrari Carlos Sianz, and his quick witted ingenious strategy during a 4-car shootout, where his pole position had been threatening by Russell Mercedes (3rd car). A now famous team radio message, where the Ferrari team radioed Carlos that McLaren Lando (2nd car) is catching up, 0.8 sec behind him and utilising DRS (Drag Reduction System). Carlos replied, “Ya, its (slowed down) on purpose”.
A quick good summary here.

As exhilarating as it may be, the race produces immense carbon footprint and based on the 2022 SGP F1 Race report, the total emissions in the circuit park amounted to about 2,372 tCO2e, and it is also estimated that the race consumed as much energy as 30,000 homes in a year.
F1 has set a target to reach net zero by 2030 and aims to halve energy emissions from the SGP Grand Prix by 2028.
F1 is at the cutting edge of technology and can play a role in driving green revolution for the planet.
By 2030, it's anticipated there will be close to two billion cars on the road, with only 8% EVs. That means other solutions are needed to slash carbon emissions. One of the projects by F1 is the development of a renewable fuel (E Fuel), usable not just for F1 cars, but also can be utilised by most road cars.
E fuel’s carbon circle is completely neutral, where the carbon utilised to produce that fuel is the same quantity as the carbon emitted from the internal combustion engine. It means that the engines do not add CO2 in the atmosphere.
