This research project explores how Formula One (F1) is transforming itself into a more sustainable sport. It focuses on the evolution of F1 power units, from fuel-heavy V10 and V8 engines to today’s turbo-hybrid V6 systems. These modern engines use less fuel, recover energy, and reach high thermal efficiency, showing how advanced engineering can support environmental goals. The study also covers F1’s plan to use 100% sustainable fuels from 2026 and remove the MGU-H system, aiming to simplify hybrid units while increasing electric power. F1’s target of becoming net-zero carbon by 2030 is also examined, including its efforts to reduce emissions from logistics, improve recycling, and use renewable energy at circuits.

摘要

This research project explores how Formula One (F1) is transforming itself into a more sustainable sport. It focuses on the evolution of F1 power units, from fuel-heavy V10 and V8 engines to today’s turbo-hybrid V6 systems. These modern engines use less fuel, recover energy, and reach high thermal efficiency, showing how advanced engineering can support environmental goals. The study also covers F1’s plan to use 100% sustainable fuels from 2026 and remove the MGU-H system, aiming to simplify hybrid units while increasing electric power. F1’s target of becoming net-zero carbon by 2030 is also examined, including its efforts to reduce emissions from logistics, improve recycling, and use renewable energy at circuits.
