BICESTER, England: Top engineer and former team boss Paddy Lowe spent decades measuring in milliseconds how to make Formula One cars go faster, but his tagline now is"600 million years in three minutes" as he focuses on consigning fossil fuels to history.
Lowe has had no talks with F1 and is not missing it - he says so unprompted - but the technology has huge relevance to a global sport with 72 per cent of its carbon footprint caused by air travel and logistics. "This is just the beginning of a very exciting forward journey to take this incredible technology to a huge scale," added the Briton, who said he had always felt"guilt on my shoulder about fossil fuels".
"Mainstream aviation will use jetfuel indefinitely," he said."Combine harvesters will not be electrified with any physics that I’m aware of.""We say in 10 years it will be parity with fossil. Beyond 10 years it will be cheaper. You move to a world where its cheaper to make synthetic fuel than to dig it out of the ground. Which is really exciting."
