You applied "critical thinking"?

What is that, exactly...?

Wow.

Yeah it is wow. Was not expecting that. I thought they had it right this year with the hybrid allocation too.
Surprised it lasted only 3 seasons.
Can’t say I’ll miss it though.

It's looking already like quite a different landscape to the grid in 2025.

Teams are only in contract with Cosworth from season to season. The "single supply" contract is with TOCA, not the teams.

Critical thinking is the process of evaluating and questioning what you see, hear, read, or say. It involves making reasoned judgments based on evidence, and is an important skill for many subjects and disciplines.

Unfortunately a lot of people get brainwashed by the media or others... with out actually sitting down and looking at the evidence for them selves.

Hope that helps

Taking Hybrid in racing (for performance) as an example. It is a way of trying to make motorsport "green". It defo did not do that for the BTCC. Therefore it was a gimmic (hype). Sustainable fuel on the other hand... in the context of making the C02 generated in the burn matching the C02 taken out of the environment is much less of a gimmic and has some factual evidence behind it of being green.


Hybrid vehicles in public use... is another ball game and the hybrid is designed for efficiency and not performance. But when people who do not apply critical thinking..... lay it out as the same as hybrid in motorsports... then. Well there you go.
