The 2009 world champion assures that the future is electricity
Explain that in the next decade you will not be able to buy cars with a combustion engine
Button says that in the next decade you will no longer be able to buy gasoline cars, and therefore, electric cars will be the majority on the road. The British also applies this ecological advance to Formula 1, since it will be obsolete to run with internal combustion engines. In his opinion, the future of the Great Circus and of all competition will be electricity.
“In ten years we will not be able to buy cars that run on gasoline, they will become obsolete. Therefore, racing in Formula 1 with an internal combustion engine will not make sense. The future will always be electricity, in any form in the world of the motor “, declared Button in an interview with the BBC.
At the moment, Formula E is the spearhead of electric technology in the motor world. This has also been joined by the Extreme E, in which Jenson himself will run with his own team. The Briton recognizes that when accelerating the memories of the old combustion engines are already forgotten, because running with an electric car is a different feeling.
“When you step on the accelerator, you feel the speed and then all the thoughts of the V8 engines are forgotten, since you have the feeling of being inside an electric car,” said Jenson to finish.
Formula 1 currently runs on hybrid engines, and this change has been one of its first big steps towards sustainability. Next will be the arrival of biofuels. Of course, after Button’s statements, the elimination of gasoline in the Great Circus may be a reality for the next decade, although it should be remembered that Formula E has electric exclusivity until 2039.
