Excerpt:

Formula 1 says it is on track to hit its Net Zero targets by 2030 after the publication of its latest impact report that includes its carbon emissions.

The report currently includes figures from 2022 as F1 needs to await data from teams and other stakeholders from last year, but the first season that was not impacted by COVID-19 showed a 13 percent reduction in F1’s carbon footprint compared to the 2018 baseline. That’s despite the 2022 calendar featuring an extra race compared to prior to the pandemic.

The sport’s Net Zero target is a minimum of 50 percent emissions reduction versus 2018, leaving 37 percent still to be achieved by 2030.

There seems to be some effort in that area too.

A new fleet of DHL biofuel-powered trucks also reduced logistics-related carbon emissions by an average of 83% during the European season.

They've also changed the calendar to prevent hopping around all over the globe, but instead keep races that are in the same part of the world together. But they've gotten a lot of negative feedback on this point, so they might change this back to the way it was in the future.

My gripe is that a lot of the US races are in absolutely shit spots. Austin and Miami are way too hot to be held when they are. Frontload Austin and Miami, put Vegas near the back of the calendar. Either that, or do something like Bahrain -> Aus, Japan, China -> Austin and Miami -> Europe -> Interlagos -> Vegas -> Qatar and Abu Dhabi. This is just my two cents, so take it for what it's worth, but that's just a personal opinion.

I kinda get it. The start of this season has been brutal with every race overnight. I’m not even bothering watching this entire leg of the season because of the horrific start times for the US. When they were spread out over the calendar I’d usually stay up to watch, but with them all clumped I’m not even trying.
