In 2026, F1 cars will be powered by hybrid engines with a 50:50 split between electric-power and internal combustion.

The sport's new regulations suggest that car makers are not pinning all their hopes on electrification.

"We want to tackle climate change, and here is a way of doing it," Pat Symonds, F1's former chief technical officer, told CNBC while he was still at the organization. Without denying the engineering arguments for electrification, proponents of e-fuels reply that this ignores economic realities."The world doesn't run on efficiency but on markets and ultimately on price," Paddy Lowe, veteran F1 engineer and founder of e-fuels company Zero, told CNBC."When I plug an electric car in, I'm using the most expensive electricity in the world in terms of infrastructural requirements; not everybody can afford that," he said.
