Flyover F1.

From the Internet web site "The Aviationist" the article by DAVID CENCIOTTI.

My instantaneous response was that this article was going to produce some interesting comments. And I was right!

"Formula One [F1] Bans Military Aircraft Flyovers To Reduce Carbon Emissions"

"We won’t see the Frecce Tricolori or Red Arrows flying over the tracks during pre-race displays because they pollute the air."

"Beginning in 2022, the Grand Prix organizers will no longer be able to use military aircraft for air show style displays before the start of the races because they pollute and they are no longer in line with the CO2 emissions reduction objectives of F1 which aims to eliminate the environmental impact by 2030"

Military aerobatic teams no longer will be allowed to do a fly-over of the Gran Prix races [Formula 1]! F1 organizer too concerned about pollution as created by the aircraft during a fly-over!

See the comments:

Tim Wood: F1: "Like most things these days, it’s not about the actual result of your actions. It’s about pretending to care and appearing to make a difference."

Petz: "So if Grand Prix organizers are so worried about CO2 emissions, maybe they should ban all F1 races until they become carbon neutral as well. Oh wait… that would cause undo financial burden on their own pocket books. Therefore lets virtue signal by banning other associated items but not our-self."

Both Tim Wood and Petz hitting the nail right on the head and with authority too! I could not agree more! Penny-wise and pound foolish?
