The new car, which features the latest FIA safety innovations, is powered by a 3.4 litre turbo-charged Mecachrome engine, and includes some new features to accommodate the Aramco synthetic sustainable fuel that will be introduced in 2025
Why does no starter motor matter? It just adds weight
Sandly no hybrid or on-board starter.
Synthetic fuel though in 2025

I think Synthetic fuel, is not the right way to go. And not pushing vendors to produce something sustainable.
Hybrid also offers “Boost”, since a driver can be tactical about when to use it.
A lot of DNF is do to engine staling, and you are not allowed to get help for marshals.
A drop-in net zero fuel seems a better bet than expecting everyone to scrap their ICE cars and buy electric. I think there’s room for both
Seb Vettel was at Goodwood this year running a synthetic drop-in fuel

I’m not a big fan of boosts, I’d rather it was just pedal to the metal, but couldn’t the same be achieved by boosting the turbo?
I’d have thought an electronic anti-stall like F1 would be better for performance than lugging around a starter motor
Dude everyone conveniently forgets on HOW this carbon is captured. Right now they are burning fuel in order to have the co2 to make green fuel.
Well the target is net zero by 2030. You have to start where you are, not where you want to be.
