Shock horror, Hamilton is a hypocrite*. Every single person is a hypocrite, it's just a matter of degree. Those that claim otherwise are liars, and we are all liars anyway. :emoticon-0100-smile

* I stand by the second sentence of my original post.
 
I've got a hybrid car as new company car, imo I wouldn't bother unless you drive less then 20 miles each way and have a charging point at either end.... For me it's absolutely useless in the real world but a huge saving in BIK if it's a company car
This is a good point .
How do you get to St Ives on holiday with an electric car ?
What happens if you run out of leccy on a country lane ?

Ohh gonna need some evidence of that mate
It's virtually impossible to quantify what fuel efficiency savings have come from F1 but it's fair to say that the technology used in F1 does go into road car design and contributes to fuel efficiency savings - I don't think you can deny that. Now the stats ( a bit of *** packet maths here)
In 2017 there were 269bn litres of fuel used in road cars the world over.
THere are 2.4 kg of co2 emissions per litre, so 645bn kg of emissions the world over.
The average new car gets around 40 to 50 mpg. So a saving of 1mpg would be 2%, or 13bn kg of carbon (6bn lbs).
Your post on p6 estimates that F1 produces 147m lbs of carbon a year (if I'm interpreting you correctly).
Therefore the saving associated with adding 1 mpg to the average road car would cancel out F1 emissions for 41 years (6bn divided by 147m), or since before Nelson piquet had won a championship.

A series of extension leads, always look for solutions mate.
It was an obvious solution but it took a bloke like you to point out it out.

Extension leads.

So obvious.

Cummings out, Chazz in.

This country needs men like you Chazz.
So 4x20 metre extension cables gives us plenty to be getting on with.What if some twat on the 6th floor pops their head out of the window and unplugs the bastard?
