Why F2 are pioneers, not lab rats, over sustainable fuel switch

The move has raised concerns that the junior series is being used as a testing ground for F1, with them having also tested F1's 18-inch tyres ahead of the top tier introducing them.He told Autosport:"It's a fantastic thing. We're not being a testing ground, we are pioneers, I prefer to use this word, because what we are going to develop might be a little bit different from Formula 1.

"It's a great thing. Of course we are part of the overall F1 programme, which is to be sustainable in 2026 and to come to zero in 2030, and that's really good that we can be able to do that as well, for ourselves but also for the overall Formula 1 programme." "But as I said, we do whatever it takes in terms of testing, because as you can imagine before releasing the fuel we go into a very heavy development programme.

F1 Managing Director Ross Brawn said F2 and F3 are a"much easier environment to introduce a fuel", adding that the fact the series only use one fuel supplier makes it easier than F1, where there are"four or five different fuel suppliers with different engines, so it is a much more complex dynamic.""We started the partnership with Aramco, and then realised there was still an opportunity with F3 and F2 to make an example of what can be done.

"I think when you introduce a fuel, you're never quite sure the impact it will have on different engines, which is why we're holding back in F1 to say to teams and OEMs, when we introduce the new engines for 2026, it will be on sustainable fuel.

Formula2 Well, for one, he has people that will pay for the engine damage. He’s not the lab rat, the teams are.

Formula2 The sustainable fuel BS, you can fool 21st century F1 bromance fans but real motorsport fans are not mad
