It’s my understanding that they’re not allowed to go full electric as formula E already has the license to run that with the FIA, so it’ll be some variety of hybrid for the foreseeable future
Bahrain bought McLaren, (Saudi) Aramco reportedly owns a chunk of Aston Martin, and there are rumors that Saudi Arabia will outright buy all of F1 from Liberty.
These oil nations will likely put pro oil propaganda into overdrive. They have no interest in letting F1 be the technology leader again.
Does anyone know the future for f1 ? Like in 20/30years is the plan to be full formula E as the main one or to continue with combustion?
I haven’t seen anything. I imagine they’ll make that decision after they see how this transition works with synthetically made fuel.
Over solid state batteries start hitting vehicles that may also change decisions based on how well they do or don’t do.

Formula E has the license until 2039 so in 20-30 years Formula E might no longer exist if F1 goes fully electric.
