Good Energy? F1 and Oil Sponsorships
Description
As we approach the Austin GP, we're exploring in today’s Planet Paddock episode something that’s inextricable from Texas and F1… oil & gas. Fossil fuel companies are currently spending at least $5.6 billion on sport sponsorship deals and F1 makes up about $2bn of that, more than any other sport. What's the history of oil and F1? How does this jive with F1’s 2026 regulations and stated goal of Net Zero by 2030? Is it sportswashing? And what’s F1’s responsibility here? Tiggy and Fiona explore all that and more.
