Excerpt:

Formula 1 says it is on track to hit its Net Zero targets by 2030 after the publication of its latest impact report that includes its carbon emissions.

The report currently includes figures from 2022 as F1 needs to await data from teams and other stakeholders from last year, but the first season that was not impacted by COVID-19 showed a 13 percent reduction in F1’s carbon footprint compared to the 2018 baseline. That’s despite the 2022 calendar featuring an extra race compared to prior to the pandemic.

The sport’s Net Zero target is a minimum of 50 percent emissions reduction versus 2018, leaving 37 percent still to be achieved by 2030.

You got waaaaaaaaaay bigger fish to fry when it comes to planes, boats, and trucks involved in getting entertainment into your home.

I put it up there with football (soccer) as entertainment to millions with fairly minimal logistics emissions.

It's less about the emissions themselves as the difference between their marketing of the sport and the actual impact.

I agree, there are way bigger fish to fry and everything comes at a cost.
