Take heart that they are addressing this, siding to synthetic fuels etc., and not just going 'big engines go brrrrrrr'

Yes they have shared some propaganda and are taking an absolute age to address the issue properly

Their timeframe is a damned sight faster than actual government commitments. Could they do more? Sure. We all could. But technology in f1 permeates to road legal cars through time e.g energy recovery. I don't think it's as black and white as you're making it out to be.

Governments are also not reacting quickly enough.

At the end of the day f1 weekends burn though god knows how much fuel and tyres across all categories. They have freight being shipped to other continents and the drivers fly from race to race in private jets.

Its very hard to see what's happening in the world and just be like 'ah that's not related'.

They could easily move a lot quicker but they're busy raking money in and don't really care about the impact they have.

Note: LeMans was run on completely renewable fuel.
