EU urges FIA to make F1 greener
The EU Parliament has requested the FIA to change the rules of F1 in favour of more environmentally friendly technology. Although the FIA already put in several environmental regulations like Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS)from 2009 and proposals for the use of smaller engines and bio-fuels.
The statement of the Parliament said: "MEPs recognise the role motor sport can play in changing attitudes and customer behaviour towards environmentally friendly technology.
"The House therefore asks the FIA and others involved in Formula One to change their rules accordingly, so that environmentally friendly technologies like bio-fuels, four-cylinder engines or hybrid can be more easily applied."
