What will F1 do? They have an open goal of carbon neutrality. While they will use efuel to go carbon neutral regarding their cars, their transports (mostly with planes) rely on carbon offsets. This means that the goal is impossible to achieve now.

As it should be.

Offsetting is 95% green washing and thus actively harms climate efforts. Companies shouldn't get away with basically fraud.

Sure, just curious what they'll do. Change the slogan / change the plan.
