Agreement signed between Formula Motorsport Limited (FML) and Aramco to introduce the use of sustainable fuels in both championships from 2023.
A joint statement says "the agreement is subject to FIA World Motor Sport Council approval. It will form part of the wider sustainability strategy announced by the FIA and Formula 1, which will see the sport become net zero carbon by 2030."
The president of the FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, said sustainability is at the top of the global motor sport agenda.
"It is vital to see this work not only going on in Formula 1, but also in Formula 2, Formula 3 and throughout the entire ecosystem, said Ben Sulayem. "Our sport is developing and evolving rapidly and it will continue to lead the way, pioneering the technologies, including sustainable fuels, that will be crucial to tackle climate change. We are a key part of the solution to the problems we are facing worldwide.”
By 2026, all FIA Championships will be required, by regulation, to power their cars with 100% sustainable fuels. A key milestone in the journey will be the introduction of a 100% sustainable fuel from the 2026 F1 season, alongside the next generation hybrid power units.
F2 and F3 will use our first sustainable fuel from 2023 ♻️
